      it does get better or lets better say the story takes quite some time to unfold
      but if you cant stand the pacing you probably wont like the rest either

      I started watching it last week (got season 1 and 2 on dvd for cheap) and it's amazing imo
      I was engaged from the first episode so I'm not sure what you're missing
      Love every character even if I think a lot of them are c**ts

        And yet you don't explain 'why' you like it. It's just 'fun'. No offense but that's always the sign of a mouth breather and a not very good show.

          Yeah I can't explain why
          All I could say is that the setting and the characters are believable and I like how the story flows from episode to episode
          I want to know more about Don Draper, I want to see how Peggy evolves over the season, I want to know what happens to Don's marriage and what Betty does, I want to know whether Pete becomes a better man or if he completely falls apart, etc

          >He bought dvd instead of torrenting

          I'm scared of torrenting
          Got s1 and 2 for $4 so worth it imo

          Physical media's a safe bet anyways. You don't have to cough up loadsa money for an SSD or whatever because all the storage you need is just physical space

      Show would be a lot better if it didn't revolve so much around romance and sex. It's trying too hard to appeal to both men and women.

    He is deeply messed up and inherently self-destructive. He will always be the alienated little boy of his youth

      That sums up most of the manchildren who idolize him too. The only difference is Don is handsome.

    I feel like people miss that a lot of the reason Don acted the way he did was that he never felt as though he "belonged" in his own life, particularly in the high class environment he eventually found himself in. A lot of his actions are predicated on this insecurity.

      this becomes very obvious once his background is revealed, and is more or less hinted at when he give Peggy a shot even though everyone else thinks he's insane for doing so

    Do these people realize that it’s a scripted show and that nothing portrayed is actually real?

      the underlying premise is that a good show has realistic characters that you can relate to
      but no they will never be draper
