What you are, what you want, what you love doesn't matter. It's all about how you sell it. "Mad Men" delves into the lives, loves, and ambitions of a group of ruthlessly competitive men and women working in a 1960s advertising agency. Set on and around Madison Avenue—home of New York's ad agencies at the time, and the "Mad" of the title—the series was created by "Sopranos" writer Matthew Weiner and has gained rave reviews in the U.S. The series revolves around the complicated world of Don Draper, the biggest ad man (and ladies' man) in the business, and his colleagues at the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels.
