Mad Men
A prestige drama set across the 1960s at a New York advertising agency, covering seven seasons (2007-2015); this report reflects the full series run. The show deliberately portrays period-accurate sexism, near-constant substance use, infidelity, and several instances of sexual violence, and is best suited to mature adult viewers.
