If You Have to Watch 1 Drama Show This May, Stream This 1 Now
Jon Hamm’s new Apple TV+ series is a hit, but the program that made him famous is still the one drama show you should be watching in May.
From major plot points to tiny details, every frame of Mad Men seems to remind us how much the world has changed from the “good old days.” (In the famous scene above, the Draper family finishes an idyllic picnic in the park before simply dropping all of their trash on the ground — there was no anti-littering movement at the time.) Don’s daughter Sally ( Kiernan Shipka) grows from a child to a jaded teenager, experiencing a loss of innocence, alienation from her family and subsequent understanding of her difficult mother. That’s not to ignore or diminish the male supporting cast — John Slattery ’s performance as the jovial yet cynical Roger Sterling in particular stands out as one of the most memorable in TV history, while Vincent Kartheiser ’s slimy accounts manager Pete Campbell is loathsome and entertaining while still feeling all-too-human.
