Mad Men viewing diary

Over a decade after its premiere, I finally began catching up with Mad Men by covering the first season as a first-timer's viewing diary - as of the spring and summer of 2021, I am currently covering the fourth and fifth seasons (before taking another break and finishing when I return).
