All Things TV Series Recommendations/Reviews

[Slim Tubby]

I would also say that for ME personally, one of the barometers I have always used in gauging the quality of a series (or perhaps the ones I have liked the most just happen to HAVE this trait) is the depth of talent on the staff.

When you have a series where the 5th or 7th most important character is still a great character, to me that's a great series.

It's time for you to give Mad Men another shot. Jon Hamm certainly drives the series but the rest of the supporting cast have their own storylines and carry their own weight.

As great as the Draper character is, John Slattery's portrayal of his Boss, "Roger Sterling", steals almost every scene he's in. I'm convinced he'll be your favorite character by the end of the series.

The question is, did he say it in his Jack Bauer voice?

Top ten all time show. AMC has a number of them along with Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and Halt and Catch Fire (quite possibly my favorite of the bunch).

I’d put Mad Men in my Top 5; so compelling without any violence (except for a lone riding lawn mower incident). One of the reasons I enjoy Fletch Lives! so much is the reunion of Hamm and Slattery.
