We tried to watch Mad Men this weekend. Tried, and failed. Everyone says it's great. It won awards. People whose opinions I highly respect tell me it's the best show on television right now.
We watched two episodes, and it felt like we'd watched five. It was long, slow, boring, had flat characters, no conflict, no hook at all. I guess I'll just have to add it to the list of shows other people really love, but I can't get into.
The boyfriend's synopsis of Mad Men: "It's like getting punched in the nuts for twenty minutes, but then you get to see a squirrel."
Yeah, it's like that.

The commercials are enough to turn me off. Wow. Guys smoking all the time, yelling, treating women like shit and wearing bad suits. Not for me thanks.

Shelve it with the other great shows I haven't been watching.
