You know, I'm tempted to just start the series over from season one, since I've missed so much.
Discs, or streaming?
This is one of the things I like the most about MM - the way they constantly show how different the social mores were back in the 50's and early 60's. Everyone smokes up a storm. This plastic bag scene is CLASSIC. Did you catch the scene where the Draper family goes on a picnic in a lovely park and, when it's over, they just leave their trash lying there on the grass? They drink more booze than water. Women are treated as second class citizens except when it comes to sex.
Boy, how times have changed . . . .
Exactly. Like when Joan's husband raped her on the office floor because he could.

I don't believe that scene was to demonstrate typical social behaviour.
I've noticed that Mad Men is popular mainly with older people while younger viewers dismiss it as an irrelevant soap opera, which supports your observation. I enjoy it because of those familiar evocations; the smoking, booze, the clothes, social attitudes, etc.

And I do. Women were property then. Men could do with them as they saw fit.
Soaps for dopes. I find it incredible that the notoriously non-focused pop-culture can follow an adult serialized drama. It should be noted that each episode costs close to 3 million dollars to produce.
In Episode 3, Season 5, we see that Betty has become very, very fat. As I recall, this is the first episode where she is depicted as being so chubby.
There is one scene where she gets out of a bathtub and the camera shows her back. She's HUGE. She's got the double chin, the fat face, the whole nine yards.
How did they do that? I'm sure the actress herself didn't actually put on all that weight, yet it looks so real. Expert makeup artists? Shrewd camera work? A double?
(I really don't like Betty. Didn't from the get go.)

She was, in reality, pregnant.

No. Really? Are you sure of that or are you just guessing?

Watched the first episode - interesting. Will watch more.
I was born in 1965, so obviously the time period is before my time - however the large gap between women and men and the treatment of women in the workplace when I began my career in the late 80's was still similar to how it was in this show, just not quite as blatant. It was nothing for guys to comment all kinds of sexual innuendos to "office girls" back then (80's)....not now.
