Mad Men
2007
It's 1960, and ad executive Don Draper rules the roost at New York's Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency amid a glamorous climate of never-ending cocktail hours, worry-free smoking and ego-stroking power in this Emmy-winning series. Draper has the good fortune of being a man's man --and a ladies' man to boot. But with the world beginning to change, he'll have to use all his smarts to stay one step ahead.

Unsurprisingly some racism and sexism. The plot is fairly pedestrian but the cast and script manage to keep season one interesting. After that, things like the Bobbie Barrett plot seem awkward, and the Draper family drama slowly destroys the charm.
