On the back of what I wrote the other week I'm not sure BBC Four is the best place for it, but Mad Men (Sundays, BBC4) got off to a pretty good start this week. Some occasionally starchy dialogue and one very arch performance aside, it certainly had enough about it to make you feel like you're watching something of a higher calibre. I mean, I don't expect it to be nearly as good, but I actually felt a little bit like I did after I saw the first episode of The Wire, like I was only being given a small fraction of the whole story. That's a good sign. Let's hear it for the evolution of television, kids!
Oh, and if your idiotic Sky+ box decides to record 7 MINUTES past the end of Supernatural on ITV2 thus ruining your carefully constructed recording (and blog-writing!) schedule, you can keep up with Mad Men on BBC iPlayer. It looks like it'll be worth it.
