Amazon currently has the first 2 seasons for just under $20.00 each.  Anyone want to try selling me on it in a non-spoilery way?  (With a very strict interpretation of "spoilery.")

I'm curious about the ad agency aspect, but freely admit that my main points of interest are Christina Hendricks and the fashion.  I've watched a few season 1 clips on youtube and am intrigued by some scenes of Joan and Betty (I think those are their names...maybe Betty is actually Peggy?  I think there's one of each!), but I get the feeling that "professional women struggling in a male dominated field" isn't the central focus by a long shot.  Actually, that seems to be the men in the agency.  Which is fine, except that they seem to be rather sexist men (deliberately so, I suspect) and the idea of watching the professional lives of sexist men doesn't particularly appeal.  (Note:  impressions based on brief clips and bit gleaned from discussions I've stumbled across, not an informed opinion or casting judgment.)

If you want to voice your opinion with spoilers, please use the blackout code: <span style="color: #333333;background-color: #333333">Spoilers here.</span>
