“Having
triumphed at the Royal
Television Society Awards, the
critically-acclaimed US drama Mad
Men, about the lives of bad-assed
ad men in the Sixties, returns to
DVD and Blu-ray with a compelling
and revealing Season 3...”
A STYLISH AND CONVINCING US television drama series, Mad Men rolls
back time to the early Sixties to follow the lives and loves of believable characters
in fictional Madison Avenue-based advertising agency Sterling Cooper.
Complicated love lives, juicy scandal, vicious back-biting, petty jealousy and
cut-throat competition spice up the storylines, given extra appeal by attractive
and ambitious Don Draper (Golden Globe-winning Jon Hamm) — master manipulator
and renowned ladies' man.
Don, the creative director and junior partner of Sterling Cooper, has an astonishing
secret of which even his long-suffering, pregnant wife Elizabeth — known
as Betty (January Jones) — is unaware until Season 3. But will it be a
revelation too far for Betty?
Has she had enough of the womanising ways of the former-Korean GI Don's infidelities?
His affair with his daughter's teacher Suzanne suggests he is unwilling to change
in order to save his troubled marriage.
But who is Dick Whitman and how did he carry off such an audacious deception?
How does he connect to the over-confident Don and will Betty choose to overlook
the web of lies woven by Don?
Mad Men Season 3 continues with changes at Sterling Cooper that cause
resentment and dissatisfaction within the advertising agency, which is already
on the verge of a split. Pete Campbell (Vincent Kartheiser: Angel) and
Kenny Cosgrove (Aaron Staton) uncomfortably share the Head of Accounts position.
Don Draper's secretary Margaret "Peggy" Olson (Elisabeth Moss: The West Wing)
found herself pregnant by Pete and suffered a breakdown. She has become a copywriter
with her own office but has already been approached by Herman "Duck" Phillips
(Mark Moses) whose current agency Grey is looking for talent.
When Don and Salvatore "Sal" Romano (Bryan Batt) go to Baltimore to pacify client
London Fog, Sal commits an indiscretion that Don accidentally witnesses —
as he is leaving their hotel via the fire escape, with an air hostess with whom
he has spent the night.
How will Betty deal with her meeting with Henry Francis, aide to New York Governor
Nelson Rockefeller and how will the country deal with the assassination of the
charismatic President Kennedy? Deservedly becoming an Emmy and Golden Globe
winner for Outstanding Drama for two years in a row, Mad Men brings the
US Swinging Sixties to life in a gloriously fun-and-frolics laden Season 3.
The third series brings more scandalous surprises as this glamorous, sophisticated,
smoke-enveloped drama follows the sexual exploits, working relationships and
social lives of the ruthless and fiercely-competitive professionals of the Madison
Avenue-based ad agency Sterling Cooper.
Don and the other equally ambitious and merciless young ad execs are contending
with a world on the brink as they prepare for the agency's fortieth anniversary.
Welcome to Mad Men, a shocking portrait of a time that was anything but
innocent. There is nothing as sexy; nothing as provocative. Nothing is as it
seems in Mad Men Season 3. Very good, very Sixties and very watchable
with a talented cast.
