As Great as Season 1Sep 07, 2010 This is a truly well done series. If you ever wondered about or wanted to "relive" the early 1960's, this is your series - it may be slightly exaggerated here and there, but I think it captures things pretty well. This was a very interesting time for America.
Lots of things happen in this season. Draper and his wife are going through a split, and Draper heads to California for a while. The California interlude is pretty wild - he meets some jet setters for one thing. We also learn something about his past that was not really shown before. I thought the scene with Draper going into the water with the old country/gospel song about Jesus playing in the background was pretty awesome - even if you don't believe in baptism, it is still powerfully symbolic of change and renewal to come in Draper's life, I think.
Mrs. Draper has some adventures too. Really wild there.
Peggy is moving up. She even tells about her baby at one point.
The ad agency is sold near the end of the season, and this will make for some interesting drama next season I am sure. Duck thought he had Draper where he wanted him, but it appears that this is not the case.
The sets and mores of the 1960's continue to be well captured. If you liked season 1, you will like this one as well.
You have to watch it!!
The saga continuesAug 30, 2010 Mad Men picks up in season 2 with Peggy managing to keep the birth of her child a secret from the office. This seems unlikely in such a gossipy place but I'm willing to suspend disbelief. Also, we learn more about the whole Don?Dick switch... I'm not sure I can suspend belief THAT much, to where I could believe that the Army wouldn't catch Draper's attempt to trade places with an officer he met. I mean, no one checked his records? Draper didn't know that his new identity is married?
Nevertheless, the production values remain high and as escapist entertainment you would be hard-pressed to find anything better.
How could this season be better than the last?Aug 29, 2010 This is a must see series. I can't believe I missed it when it was originally shown, but in a way I'm glad because now I own my own set of dvds. This is definitely a TV show I will go back and watch more than once. It is beautifully done. The complexity of the characters and their relationships, the camera work, the surprises that each episode holds makes this well worth purchasing! Do it!
Another extraordinary seasonAug 25, 2010 This is one of the best TV shows ever made. This season is as good as the first one.

madmenAug 21, 2010 This blu ray dvd arrived with a security tape which made it impossible to open. I contacted amazon which directed me to some instructions which needed several tools and 20 fingers...still it was impossible to open. Finally my husband managed to get it open by destroying the case. Sadly I will NEVER by another dvd from amazon since I can't get the case open.
