To those of you just starting out on the show, I feel like I need to warn you that it doesn't really get comfortable until the second half of the first season. However, by that time, you know everyone and you really care.
Don Draper has got to be the best character ever. So many facets, so many things to be admirable about, so many things to despise.
The show gets even better in the second season. I am undecided on the 3rd because I've only seen a few episodes.
I love the subtle period jokes where they present something that we would jump at today, but they think nothing of. For instance, when the kid is running around the house with a plastic bag on her head and Betty just yells at her for running. Or Spoiler: in season 3, when they're wrapping up after their picnic and they dump all of their trash onto the ground, take the blanket and just drive away.
