Oh the paradox of life.

Why do I love a television show where the characters live meaningless lives, the men are misogynists and it’s set in the upper-class, consumer-deceiving world of advertising?

Mad Men recreates the furniture, fashion and future-sense of the 1950s and ‘60s superbly.

And yet, I know it wasn’t necessarily so.
