We’ve seen him alone driving his car down the road.” And one of the show’s last images was Don sitting alone at a bus stop. We’ve seen him alone in the hallway outside the apartment. “They’re centered on Don alone in the different contexts,” Teti said. There’s also plenty to cull from the show’s nonverbal visuals, such as the closing shots in the last half season.

“When I watch ‘Mad Men,’ I often picture the words as if they’re on the pages of a novel, and it somehow enriches the experience for me because it makes me think about these characters beyond the immediacy of a TV scene,” he said. Club said “Mad Men”’s novelistic style, also championed by “The Sopranos” and “The Wire,” has brought an added heft to serialized TV. Teti’s top five shows ever, however, does not include “Mad Men.” Teti’s Top 5 TV dramas, in no particular order “One of the things I love about Peggy in particular is that they dress her so badly and style her so badly,” Lambert said, adding that the practical character’s accurate to what a person who doesn’t care about looking stylish would dress.Ĭinemagraph by Reddit user TerryAFCx John Teti: It extends a tradition of bringing a literary style of writing to the screen Lambert pointed to Peggy Olson, the show’s one-time secretary turned assertive copywriter as an example of the show avoiding this rose-colored approach. Instead, the creators painstakingly introduced characters and elements that made sure the show wasn’t just one, long nostalgia trip.
“It would have been very easy to make incredibly beautiful and have everybody dress in the ideal version of what people wore in that time period,” Lambert said. Lambert also said the show wasn’t afraid to emphasize how ugly some of the reimagined 1960s scenery, and its inhabitants, actually were. Initially casted with no-name actors, “‘Mad Men’ proved that prestige dramas didn’t have to premiere in the fall with a big fanfare,” Lambert said. “Mad Men” premiered in the summer of 2007 on AMC, which had no clout at that point as a dramatic narrative network, she said. “ sort of changed the whole way we expect prestige dramas to come out,” Molly Lambert of Grantland said. Lambert’s Top 5 TV dramas, in no particular order “ thematically rich and stylistically rich in a way that very few shows have ever even attempted to be, let alone ever succeeded in being.”Ĭinemagraph by Reddit user lilstumpz Molly Lambert: It rewards the viewer that looks closer As such, every scene is filled with mirrors, reflections or doppelgangers. Sepinwall said that although the show is serialized to an extent, the writers assemble each episode “as a standalone work of art.” Looking at season 2’s “Maidenform,” the episode is “all about how you view yourself versus how other people view you,” he said. “Everything about the show - the performance, the costumes, the sets, the scripts, the direction - every single aspect of ‘Mad Men’ is so well thought out, so detailed, so laden with meaning, there’s just so many layers that you can peel to find something else interesting in almost every episode, in every storyline and every moment of the show,” he said.

Sepinwall has written about “Mad Men” in his book, “The Revolution Was Televised: The Cops, Crooks, Slingers and Slayers Who Changed TV Drama Forever.” And, with the show now over, he plans to update those chapters by the fall. “Certainly among American television dramas, it is one of the five best that there’s ever been,” Hitfix’s Alan Sepinwall said.
Sepinwall’s Top 5 TV dramas, in no particular order There was no system to it, no order, and the actors would be given scenes completely out of context from the rest of the episode.Cinemagraph by Reddit user BigMurph26 Alan Sepinwall: Each episode is a standalone work of art As Jody Worth recalls, the Deadwood writers would gather each morning for a long conversation: “We would talk about where we were going in the episode, and a lot of talk that had nothing to do with anything, a lot of Professor Milch talk, all over the map talk, which I enjoyed.” Out of those daily conversations came the decisions on what scenes to write that day, to be filmed the day after.

There were scripts for the first four episodes of Season 1, and after that, most of the series was written on the fly, with the cast and crew often not learning what they would be doing until the day before (if that). And as a result, there was even less pretense of planning than there had been on NYPD Blue, and more improvisation. There were no advertisers to answer to, and HBO was far more hands-off than the executives at NBC or ABC had been. “Milch had a bigger cast, a bigger set (on the Melody Ranch studio, where Gene Autry had filmed very different Westerns decades earlier), and more creative freedom than he’d ever had before.
