Now, how about a review about the episode?, July 8, 2011
This review is from: Mad Men Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
So sorry the first reviewer had such a problem with the downloads. I have a Mac, and have had no problems watching these episodes of Mad Men, or any movie online through Amazon. Its also unfortunate that someone would give an episode a one star, as an opportunity to whine about a technical problem as opposed to writing about the episode...anyway...This episode is great; probably one of my all time favs. Probably because it has great examples of all the things fans enjoy about the show: historical context via an important event like the approaching 1960 presidential election between JFK and Nixon, the ultimate ad man's con, as he ruthlessly pursues Don, the men in the office at the height of their arrogance, self-entitlitled, sexist and sexually harassing worst... And then there is Betty...This may be one of her greatest episodes...possibly the first where we begin to see the complexity of her character, her family history, its effects on her parenting, and the toll of being a suburban housewife. Whatever you do, don't miss the ending...the best!!

A review for Amazon, March 13, 2011
This review is from: Mad Men Season 1 (Amazon Instant Video)
Never buy a series or episode from Amazon if you own a Mac because it will not allow you to download your purchase. I am bitterly disappointed. Even when I am trying to watch it instantly through Amazon, the quality is absolutely terrible and will not run the way it should.
It is better to pay a few extra dollars and buy this series through Itunes.
Of course Mad Men is fantastic but Amazon instant tv ruins the experience of watching it.
