Meredith and Friends on the Internet

I downloaded the first season of Mad Men on A&E and I watch it with a mix of fascination and revulsion. On the one side it is an interesting look at the ad industry in the early 60s and how they are trying to hang onto the 50s but the 60s counterculture is breaking its way in.

On the other hand the overt racist, sexist, blatant mysogynistic attitudes on the show are making me absolutly hate the show at the same time.  Now that I am almost to the end of the  season, a few of the women are beginning to have a more rounded character, but this is after like 8 episodes. And it is barely a character. 

Weirdly - I can't pull myself away. I think becuase there are some lines about dealing with clients that just weirdly still rings true. Is anyone else watching? what do you think?
