| Feeling a little sick watching it. I enable an under-performing male circa 1950 and it's 2016. |

| I heard the NPR pitch about it this morning. Not my issue, but I'm sure it will do well. |

| Just finished the first two and.... damn. There isn't a huge change in my field. Came to DCUM to see if others were watching and your reactions. So well done. Ok onto the third episode. |

| Im on episdoe 8 now and really into it. In the beginning I thought it was trying too hard in the beginning with the late 60s stereotypes (i.e. the "good girl" waiting for marriage, the hippie "slut" girl etc). but its become much more nuanced. I like the lead girl who plays Pattie but find her really odd to look at when they show her full length. She is painfully skinny and her head looks like a giant lollipop. |

It was really well made. I look forward to the next season.
It's funny that Mad Men ended around 1970, roughly where this one picks up. Peggy and Joan had come so far over the series it was easy to overlook the fact that women's lib was still in its infancy. |

| Loved it!! So glad I wasn't in the workforce back then or alive for that matter. Don't think I could've controlled my anger |

Random question. What nationality is Finn's wife supposed to be, with the name Natalia?
In Episode 4, she asks "Remember our old place by the Indian restaurant?" And Finn says: "and getting into a shouting match in Hindi with the owner? He's just jealous because he can't have you." She looks like she could pass for Indian to me, but her accent isn't, nor is her character name. Any thoughts? |

Her name is Talia which can be Greek or Indian or Hebrew. |

| I watched this over the weekend and thought it was well done and I'd watch season 2 if its made. Sad to see how little has changed! |

I believe the actress is a Sephardic Jew from Israel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM4R6FHvgO8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_Halevi |
