Balloon guy 158 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I've watched about 6 of them, trying to get into the series and for the most part I am not understanding the appeal to the judges on this show.Yea it's fun to see how they did things in the 60s etc, but largely the story lines are kind of slow.Anyone love this show?

keith crime 8 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 its both really good and really slow - there is also already a thread on iti actually stopped watching it this year - it takes way too much effort to watch - it's subtle and slow - probably worth it tho Link to post Share on other sites

Ron_Mexico 4,238 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I just started watching it and have seen the last 4 eps of this season and the first 8 eps of the first season (I rented the DVDs)It's just well acted, well written, the characters are pretty complex and it was an interesting time period, the early 60's. For me, it's compelling the way things went down back then, in the ad game, and just the relationship between men and women. I find it enjoyable.but yes, the show can be "slow" but I prefer the term subtle. Link to post Share on other sites

BellaireDrew 2 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I really like this show, it can be slow but it is super addicting. But i think to really get into the show you have to watch it from the first episode. The storylines and the characters are very complex and there is so much going on that that its hard to understand without the back stories from season 1.edit: 2k post yeah me Link to post Share on other sites
