Critics, per Wikipedia
Mad Men received critical acclaim throughout its run, and is generally included on critics' lists of the greatest television shows of all time. The American Film Institute selected it as one of the top ten television programs in each year it aired: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014, and was singled out for the "Special Award" in 2015 to honor the show's final season and legacy. It was named the best television show of 2007 by the Television Critics Association and several national publications, including the Chicago Tribune, The New York Times, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Time, and TV Guide. The show appeared on multiple year-end "most acclaimed" lists published by critics…

Reactions
60 of 255 · most liked firstI honestly don't think I've ever seen greater cognitive dissonance than in men who claim to love "Mad Men" because, as they put it, "men were men back then," somehow completely missing that the show is one giant, searing critique of toxic masculinity.

neutral · AI labelView post →Happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Roger Sterling's response to MLK's assassination on MAD MEN sorta sums up the entire series, and acts as a grim reminder of where we still are in America
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men is the best show to watch if you're a new parent because every time you think you're not good at it, Don Draper has his daughter make him a Bloody Mary and you're like "I'm great at this!"
positive · AI labelView post →Something so interesting about Don Draper on MAD MEN is that even though he spends the entire series chasing women, he's not liberated, he's not cool about sex, and when he encounters people who are, he's stiff and derisive, even moralistic. Sex for him is almost entirely compulsive.
neutral · AI labelView post →I've been watching a lot of Mad Men recently. 🥃 #art
neutral · AI labelView post →Upon rewatch I've come to the conclusion that "Mad Men" is about Don Draper encountering a series of increasingly sad brunettes until he comes to the realization that he is the saddest brunette of them all.
positive · AI labelView post →At last we are recreating the Mad Men office environment from the hit TV show “don’t recreate the Mad Men office environment”
neutral · AI labelView post →I have started my Mad Men Rewatch. First time I’ll rewatch the whole series since it aired. Man, that pilot is flawless.
positive · AI labelView post →We’re doing the same Mad Men rewatch everyone else is doing and remembering the reaction to January Jones’s performance when the series was on is a great reminder that not only is it possible to be bad at watching television, but it is actually quite common
positive · AI labelView post →Disney's Mad Men (Series, 1984 - 2015)
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men is a show about how it’s actually a great burden to be hot
positive · AI labelView post →Mad Men is also a show about how generations of people have been screwing up their lives in New York so bad that they have to move to LA
positive · AI labelView post →Gavin Newsom is like, "What if Don Draper was born in 1967 and got into politics instead of advertising" (Currently re-watching MAD MEN & seeing that the genius of the show is presenting an irredeemable cipher & villain & saying "look at how we want to like or cheer for him b/c he's handsome?")
positive · AI labelView post →Mad Men-esque midcentury television show about young Barnard literature grad Patricia Highsmith writing comics and navigating the lesbian scene of the West Village while trying to break out as an author while coming into her personality as a spiteful misanthrope
neutral · AI labelView post →starting to think MAD MEN might be a good TV show
positive · AI labelView post →Also - SURPRISE! A show like "Mad Men" uses visual effects!
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men was the deeply cynical show we deserved
positive · AI labelView post →I'm still undecided on which show I'd place at #1 for the 21st century, but in my mind, there's no doubt which show had the best series finale: it's "Mad Men" and no other show comes close.
positive · AI labelView post →Mad Men. It holds up RIDICULOUSLY well. People who haven't seen it think it's a slick eye candy show about the coolest guy alive and all his friends making rad 60s ads while smoking. Those people don't know what we know.
positive · AI labelView post →currently halfway through rewatching MAD MEN from start to finish and dang what an incredible show. i loved it when i watched it and remember last episode of being one of my favorite final episodes of all time, but during rewatch i am even more blown away at how intricate every character is
positive · AI labelView post →People talk a lot about the kinds of people not depicted on MAD MEN, how they're invisible or peripheral, but the show is about conformity, and those who choose it again and again through inaction or fear. Every absence is intentional.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm watching some Mad Men and it's still weird to me how it's a show about a man slowly killing himself across seven seasons and the take-away a lot of people kept was "damn that's a cool guy."

neutral · AI labelView post →I don’t understand how any new show finds its audience on HBO Max. Have watched all of Rick and Morty, two seasons of Mad Men, two seasons of Six Feet Under, and Superman (2025). Suggested next watch: the new Harry Potter trailer.
neutral · AI labelView post →My review of GAME OF THRONES -- the good, the bad, the rest -- has been public for years now. I think it's a great show that fundamentally changed television. It's not perfect the way MAD MEN or THE SOPRANOS is, but it's so wildly ambitious it's hard to believe. www.polygon.com/tv/2019/6/3/...
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men would be a lot funnier of a show if they were vaping instead of smoking in every scene
positive · AI labelView post →man somebody has to make a show about Chinese business life in the 2000s, somewhere between MAD MEN and THE SOPRANOS.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s Mad Men and it’s not particularly close. I’d actually put it higher than any show on that list.
positive · AI labelView post →"The coup makers won. The coup resisters lost. Washington is not a city that spares much sympathy for losers. 'This never happened,' advises Don Draper on the television series Mad Men. 'It will shock you how much it never happened.'" www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men Complete Series (HD Digital) is $9.99 on iTunes/AppleTV apple.co/4f0TC5c it's a TV show so no, it's not Movies Anywhere eligible
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw someone insisting the Mad Men where Rachel passionately defends the idea of Israel was the show telling us its opinion and not an obvious contrast to Don’s feeling of belonging nowhere and people really do just choose to be stupider than they really are
neutral · AI labelView post →outrageous how good this show is. MAD MEN with all the relatable veneer of even corporatized creative labor stripped away and just raw sociopathic math and avarice left over.
positive · AI labelView post →Mad Men is a show about how Don Draper is cool and everyone should be just like him

neutral · AI labelView post →A great thing about Mad Men is how people in the show acknowledge that Don and Betty Draper are insanely hot
neutral · AI labelView post →I didn’t end up including it, but one thing very much on my mind when I wrote it was the incredible scene in the Mad Men series premiere where Don Draper comes up with the “It’s Toasted” tagline for Lucky Strike. People just want to be told that whatever they are doing, they are ok.
neutral · AI labelView post →As part of my ongoing MAD MEN rewatch, I wrote about the series' most famous and critically beloved episode, 'The Wheel', in which the exaltation of sentiment forecloses on real life. A ghoulish, exquisite piece of television. www.patreon.com/posts/in-fle...
positive · AI labelView post →👀 They were GORGEOUS Which is one reason why I wish someone would make a "Mad Men"-esque series set in the 70s at Ebony because aside from the fact that there'd be so many fascinating narrative pathways to follow, the production design itself would be incredible
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m rewatching Mad Men and just realized that it premiered a few months after Obama announced his 2008 candidacy for the Democratic nomination, and ended one month before Trump rode down that golden escalator.

neutral · AI labelView post →(Watching Mad Men) I really wish this show had an officially licensed mobile game where I could earn gems.
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a TV show, relax. It’s not the end of the world, and Mad Men isn’t St. Peter’s. You sound like a huge weirdo.
neutral · AI labelView post →New show idea. It's Mad Men crossed with For All Mankind. The soviets kick off a new wave of advertising by inventing the Beggin Strips commercial 20 years early
neutral · AI labelView post →been rewatching Mad Men in a state of euphoria. i've always called it my favorite tv show, but it's somehow better than i remembered. can't believe tv was ever this good. every episode, a symphony.
positive · AI labelView post →did you know that even though theyre not making the show anymore the producers of Mad Men still recast Bobby Draper every couple years

neutral · AI labelView post →Also: The Good Place (I felt like the series as a whole sagged a lot in the middle but then finished very strong) Mad Men TNG series finale ending (Although I like where all the characters ended up in Picard season 3, I'm happy with "The adventures continue" as an ending)
neutral · AI labelView post →Mad Men is the best show of the century, maybe the best show ever. there's a lot of defensible ways you could arrange shows 2-10, but let's not pretend about Mad Men.
positive · AI labelView post →Some of you said "West Wing" -- honestly, how dare you? Have we met? Many others guessed Breaking Bad, The Wire, The Sopranos, Mad Men, etc. -- seen 'em all multiple times. So, which show is it?
neutral · AI labelView post →About to finish a VEEP rewatch and pretty much every single main character is more evil than any other prestige show right? Sopranos, Mad Men, The Wire etc.
neutral · AI labelView post →Reacher is the first time I have watched the show everyone tells me I should watch. I didn’t watch Mad Men or Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones or Six Feet Under or Bridgeton or The Mandalorian or The point is, you were right. I like it. Will I go back and watch all those other shows I missed? No.
neutral · AI labelView post →funniest personal lore about this show is that when i watched the series premiere of Mad Men in 2008 (catching up after a lot of buzz) i was alone in my apartment in New York drinking an original formula Four Loko for the first time

neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve been rewatching Mad Men for the first time in a few years, and I still love this show.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm at the end of a rewatch of Mad Men where everyone is unhappy about having high-paying jobs and boy this is a show for another era isn't it
neutral · AI labelView post →I just don't have the cynicism some do about the Mad Men finale. When Don hugged Leonard it's the most I've ever cried in a show's final episode, I was a WRECK. And I don't think he's "fixed" or whatever...but I think he's alright at the end. Better than before. My favourite show ever.
