About this deal

Lionsgate has put together a gorgeous video transfer, a faithful DTS HD MA track, and an insane collection of supplements that includes twenty-three commentary tracks. At the heart of the series is Don Draper, played by John Hamm, who provides a degree of mystery, whilst surrounded by an excellent cast of ensemble players who all totally inhabit their roles. His good friend and direct manager, Roger Sterling (John Slattery), has big plans for Don and readily embraces his thoughts and vision for the company. It depicts the changing social and cultural landscape of the time - especially 'race' and gender relations. Mad Men delves into the lives, loves and ambitions of a group of ruthlessly competitive men and women working in a 1960s advertising agency.

Season 3 episodes are: 'Out of Town', 'Love Among the Ruins', 'My Old Kentucky Home', 'The Arrangements', 'The Fog', 'Guy Walks Into an Advertising Agency', 'Seven Twenty Three', 'Souvenir', 'Wee Small Hours', 'The Colour Blue', 'The Gypsy and the Hobo', 'The Grown-Ups' and 'Shut the Door. Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Entertainment Magpie Limited t/a Music Magpie acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. Mad Men’s opening episodes are packed with intriguing introductions, seedy confrontations, and thick tension. There are hours of behind-the-scenes footage, cast and crew interviews, and insightful commentaries from creator Matthew Weiner.

The show always looked gorgeous and the transfers capture that perfectly, whilst the lossless soundtrack ensures you don't miss a single word of that fantastic dialogue.

While it does inject some healthy weight into the actors’ voices and the series’ music, it doesn’t pack enough punch to make this release memorable. The Mad Men Complete Collection includes all 92 episodes of the series on 22 Blu-rays with wonderful picture and sound. These events from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the JFK assassination, from the civil rights movement to the Vietnam War, all influenced the way that society behaved and this was filtered through the adverts created by the men of Madison Avenue. This is a series that is all about what people say, or don't say, and thus dialogue is clear and centred at all times.Note: Our refurbished grades - Pristine, Very Good and Good - are solely based on the cosmetic condition of the phone. Presenting an ego-driven world of clashing personalities, there is a whole assortment of dramatisation and well-acted scenes for you to sink your teeth into. Compared to the muddled audio included on the show’s standard DVD, the dialogue and sound effects on the Blu-ray edition are crisp, clear, and nicely prioritized in the soundscape. Season One - Audio Commentaries, Advertising the American Dream, Scoring Mad Men, Mad Men Music Sampler, Pictures of Elegance, Establishing Mad Men and Mad Men Season Two Preview. Lionsgate Home Entertainment has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Mad Men: The Final Season, Part 2 and Mad Men: The Complete Collection.

broadcast aspect ratio and encoded in 1080p/24 Full HD using the AVC codec and locked with Region B coding. The final season could have been better handled, although it does contain one of show's best sequences of all. Decency and decorum have gone right out of the window, along with manners and, perhaps most importantly, respect.At the back of the volume are a bundle of 'extras' - including photos, letter-headed paper, a detailed guide to the show, a map of the office, and a host of other titbits. Associated bling and tat ain't for everyone, but if it's a show I love then the more the better for me. Unfortunately, I only had time to sample fifteen minutes or so of every track -- it’ll take me weeks (as a fan of the show) to eventually dig through it all. And it's not as if sexism, racism and homophobia have disappeared, they are now merely not as overt as before. This was a series where the cast, the clothes and the sets were as important as the scripts, these were advertising executives after all, and the Blu-rays fully respect those stylistic choices.
