Mad Men - Season 1-7 [Blu-ray]

This is a review for the Complete Season 1-7 Deluxe Collector's Blu-ray Box Set (exclusive to Amazon). It's a fantastic product - presenting not only the TV show in its entirety in HD, but also a vast collection of 'extras' in a stunning case. Everything is housed in a sturdy and attractive slip-case; and within that is a large hardback 'volume'. Open that up and you're treated to several pages of glossy colour images of the main cast (akin to a photo album) - and inserted within each page are the Blu-ray discs. At the back of the volume are a bundle of 'extras' - including photos, letter-headed paper, a detailed guide to the show, a map of the office, and a host of other titbits. This is perfect for major fans of "Mad Men".There are 23 disc - presenting all 7 seasons (consisting of 92 episodes) - as well as many special features. The show is about a leading advertising agency in New York City, set in the 1960's. The story focuses on the business of the agency, and especially on the personal lives of the main characters - in particular, Don Draper (Jon Hamm). It depicts the changing social and cultural landscape of the time - especially 'race' and gender relations. Overall, it's well-written and brilliantly acted. Additionally, it makes use of the music from that period - and offers a fantastic soundtrack.This is superbly designed product - and is one of the finest Blu-ray boxsets I've seen. The only negative issue I have with it is that, by locating the discs within the pages, it's not always easy to remove a disc (and they could get scratched). Notwithstanding this limitation, I highly recommend this item. It's a very entertaining show - and is rightly recognised as one of the 'best ever'.

I am probably one of the last of "The Mohicans" to watch the series "Mad Men". I struggled with the first few episodes as it garnered more awards but just did not get it. When I got this DVD collection and I started watching, I could not sleep for several nights. This I now completely, unabashedly agree is one of the greatest series I have watched, well since "Breaking Bad". It's still a mystery how I missed it in the first place. However, with so many extraordinary series out there by very talented producers, it would take an early retirement to keep up. The Set Decor, the Clothes, the conversations? Absolutely timeless. Everyone should own this if they share the nostalgia of the way things were in the 60's/70's. I wish I could be paid to watch them. Now that would be the best job in the world for me :)

excellent series..enjoyed it very much indeed..worth watching

It's a decent show. Slow in parts but a great watch.

This coffee book set is beautifully presented. Yes, the disks are difficult to extract but as we watch one season at a time I simply take out the three disks for the season we are busy watching and put them in a spare plastic DVD case for the time we are watching that season.My boyfriend and I have just finished the first season and we loved it. Mad Men is beautiful to behold and intellectually mesmerising.Season 2 - Excellent! We start to learn more about each character and see some of them start to evolve.I will come back to update this review as we finish each season.

I bought this as a Christmas present for my husband as we were just finishing another box set and wanted something to watch as a backup when the usual tv had nothing to offer. This is a change to the fast-pace of "24" and "breaking bad". More of a slow burner. We are 2/3 through season 1 of 7 and so far so good. The archaic attitudes as to how men and women are expected to behave, and how certain behaviours are deemed acceptable, whether rightly or wrongly, are laugh out loud funny. This is more out of incredulity of the situations that are cleverly portrayed by the brilliant casting. Well recommended.

A very gripping story line, perfectly acted by all the cast members. Now I have watched the whole thing to the end, I am at a loss to find anything so thoroughly entertaining. I already miss it..

After reading the reviews of all the different collections of Mad Men, and all their problems (discs were hard to take out without scratching them..etc) i decided to just go with most simple one, im not after all the collectibles, just wanna watch one of my favorite shows, on the best quality yet, and i wasn't dissapointed, full HD with surround sound, and lots of commentaries/extras, you won't go wrong with this on.

My favorite show and it's about time I bought the entire collection. Got it for a great deal under a hundred dollars so I couldn't say no. Quality is great.

So happy to finally own this! I noticed people complaining about not being able to play them in Canada? Not sure what that was about, sounds like an error by the shipper, not sure why it can't be rectified. The media is in NTSC format so it's all systems go. Excellent show, within a week I'm already into season 4. Good watching!

einfach gut und der preis stimmt. muss man gesehen haben, wenn man sich für zeitgeschichte interessiert.

Chegou no dia seguinte, tudo impecável!

Une des meilleures séries jamais produites. Du grand Art !
