MadMen is my favorite show at the moment. Most obviously, it's about advertising and seeing the golden age of Madison Avenue is a real treat. But the real grab is the sharp writing and noir-like plot twists. Hard boiled protagonist Donald Draper exudes the "strong silent type" character and the way everyone else revolves around him is fascinating to watch. Not to mention the shocking amount of smoking, drinking, infidelity, racism and sexism depicted. Too bad it's not coming back til next summer.
