Обсудить Mad Men

I have only watched the first episode - I am a female Brit who worked in many offices in the sixties when I was very young and I NEVER saw office life depicted as it is here. The amount of smoking was ludicrous - most people would maybe go to the toilet for a quick puff or wait until their coffee breaks and go outside or to the works canteen. I saw the odd pipe puffed by my boss but the workers simply didn't smoke as they worked. Also - for a new girl to make a pass at her boss on her first day? It wouldn't happen in a million years. And bringing gifts for telephone operators? In what universe does this happen? The scene in the pub - if any man had made that kind of advance to a normal woman she would have slapped his face and the other men present would have defended her. Most women were not predatory sex seekers in those days as they are today. I didn't enjoy it - I found the characters implausible and repulsive and I shan't be watching it any more.

I can't refute your experience, wherever you were in NYC in the '60s. Interestingly enough, there's a period in Mad Men with a bit of intersection with Brits - they were acquired by a British firm, and a Briton would eventually become a partner!

I knew of a guy who said his father was a Madison Avenue ad man in the 60s who left his wife to marry his secretary. He was their child. The father watched a few episodes and said it was exactly what was going on, at least from his experience, and it shocked and disturbed him to feel like he was looking in the mirror while watching the show. I can't refute his experience either.
