Here's my mini-squee about Mad Men

I do love to jump on bandwagons late. Force of habit due to petty childhood habits, what can I say? I finished up S1 of Mad Men last night and started on S2 this morning. I am really liking this show. I think the writing is phenomenal. Then again, I'm a fan of any American show that doesn't try to dumb down characters and plot, and this show doesn't do either. I neither like nor dislike any of the characters who have had screen time, but most of them are very well realized and fleshed out. Or they at least have one moment where you can see through to what makes them tick. I mean, my God, S2, episode 2, "Flight 1," has a scene between Don Draper and Peter Campbell that literally made me pause and rewind and bask it in and the way it underlined the complex relationship between the two. It's also the scene that moved me to squee here.

To stop my procrastination, I end by saying: yep, Mad Men is good. Me likey.
