Now, you all know how much I love me some Mad Men. I can't get enough of the glamour and grit of life in New York City in the early 1960s - whether you were momentarily up or down on the wheel of fortune, possibilities seemed to be always around the corner. I was heartbroken when I read that season five won't be aired until early 2012. What will I do for the many cold and lonely months until then?
Salvation is coming, though, in the form of a new show that seems to tick all the boxes. "The BBC," says The Sunday Times, "has taken a lead out of Mad Men's style book with its cool 1950s newsroom drama. The Hour has sexy stars, clever plots, great sets, and sharp dialogue."
Oh, [expletive] yes.
Check out this six-part series, the first episode of which airs on 19 July, and be prepared to question your allegiance to Sterling Cooper Draper Price.
blasphemy!
ReplyDeleteI love Mad Men too! This show looks good as well but it will have to work hard to be equal to MM in my mind. I just started watching Sherlock on Netflix and I really like it! Have you seen it?
ReplyDeleteChristian, keep an open mind. You can do it. Rah rah rah.
ReplyDeleteMary - YES I love the new Sherlock! I once sat next to Martin Freeman (Watson) on the Tube. Very exciting :)
