Mad Men

Mad Men is currently streaming in Australia on Disney Plus and Stan, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and Philo, and it rewards the patience it asks of you. 7 seasons is a serious commitment, but one that pays off episode after episode. With 1,533 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Jon Hamm leads a cast that never overplays its hand. Start it on Disney Plus whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Mad Men arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Mad Men trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. Set in 1960-1970 New York, this sexy, stylized and provocative drama follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising. The performances from Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss give it more weight than the premise alone would suggest. 7 seasons (2007–2015) gave the story room most shows never get. Mad Men resists tidy resolutions in a way that respects how messy real consequences actually are. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

Drama fans who appreciate slow-burn storytelling will feel right at home with Mad Men. Fans of The Newsreader will recognise the sensibility here immediately. 7 seasons is a lot, but the quality holds all the way through. Jon Hamm's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

Mad Men wrapped up in 2015, created by Matthew Weiner — and 7 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
