Synopsis: If you think the advertising business is a rough place to work in present day, you haven't lived in the 1960s. Mad Men takes us back to New York in 1960, when the advertising agencies just about ruled the world. The men were pioneers in the field, while the women were trying to make their mark in the business world.
From cigarettes to birth control, The Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency stops at nothing to corner the market -- no matter how far they have to go or how many lives they need to ruin in the process. Much like the ads Sterling Cooper creates, all viewers need is once glance before falling under the spell of this fantastic series.
