Mad Men - Season 1 explores the life of people who understand that in life, as in their industry of manipulation and spin, success ultimately lies in how well they are able to market themselves.

Sleek, sexy, smartly cynical drama about selling everything from cigarettes to Nixon also nails the era's attitudes of casual prejudice and sexual manipulation.
