I just finished season 1 of the AMC show Mad Men. The show is created by Matthew Weiner (who also was a writer in the Sopranos), and is set in the 1960s in New York, displaying a myraid of different characters, behaviors and attitudes associated with the 60s. The show is targeted towards a mature crowd, but some young folks might find it interesting.

The thing about this show, is the scenes are full of smoking men and women. It is rare today to get a show with this much smoking, and by much, I mean MUCH! Even for a smoker like me, just watching the chain smoking scenes makes me want to smoke less because I feel the room is congested, when in reality its only me, but its psychlogical.

The show does though have a good cast, characters you like, and some that you hate and want to strangle with your bare hands (the guy on the right, I think you can figure it out), and it has been a hit with critics. Before season 2 starts, I recommend you download season 1 and get up to speed.
