Critique of Capitalism
Watching Mad Men season 5 on Blu-Ray is very, very enjoyable. I won't give anything away, but I like the idea that seems to permeate the show, that everything is a racket: Religion, Marriage, Advertising, Politics, Art, Corporate Culture, Theater. There are very few characters (I can only think of one or two) who don't seem to be working an angle. No one is clean. Everyone is compromised. It's all done quite seamlessly and fairly subtly and really works. Yes, so the show is actually a critique of late 20th century capitalism - with lots of smoking, drinking, and promiscuous sex. Great show...
