Set in 1960 on New York City's Madison Avenue, Mad Men is a daring new series about the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Big Apple advertising. The series depicts the sexual exploits and social mores of this most innovative yet ruthless profession, while taking an unflinching look at the ad-men who shaped the hopes and dreams of Americans on a daily basis.

Mad Men has already been nominated for two Golden Globe Awards, for "Best Series, Drama" and for "Best Actor in a TV Drama" (Jon Hamm). Hamm was also recently nominated for a SAG Award for "Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role" while the entire cast was nominated for "Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series."

Mad Men has taken the critics by storm, landing on dozens of Top 10 lists including those from the American Film Institute and Entertainment Weekly. The Toronto Star named it the #1 TV series of the year and The Globe and Mail noted it was the "great and pleasant surprise of the year."
