Mad Men: Season Five

Anton van Beek  |  Jan 30, 2013

They might not be quite as mad, but the women are still the real stars of this series

While men might have the title to themselves, it's the women who remain the driving force of this engaging TV series. Sure, Don is as enigmatic as ever and watching Lane and Pete get into a punch-up is fun, but its witnessing Peggy, Joan and Megan adjusting to their changing roles in society that provides the real meat for this latest batch of 13 episodes. As always, the AVC 1.78:1 1080p presentation is mouthwateringly good, as is the DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio. Superior extras are split between behind-the-scenes material (such as the two commentaries for every episode) and that with a more historical/educational leaning.
