What I'm Watching: Mad Men

Mad Men: Season 1, Episode 2 "Ladies Room" (B)

While the storyline remains fascinating and the performers are right on key, I cannot help feeling that this show is getting pretty dense. It is hard to get excited about simply because it proceeds at such a slow pace. The writing is good, and everything looks great, but this is one of those period shows that just takes some patience to get through (the reason I did not watch "Carnivale", "Deadwood", and "The Tudors" after their pilot episodes). I hope that future episodes may pick up the pace just a bit. I realize it is a stylish aspect of the show, but I still would love to see just a bit more excitement every once in a while.
