This intimate, atmospheric drama follows ruthlessly competitive Madison Avenue advertising professionals through a melancholy, gritty decade.
A full-attention watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it is devastating.
Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most TV-14 titles carry. Beyond that, some strong language and some violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the TV-14 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Set in 1960-1970 New York, this sexy, stylized and provocative drama follows the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue advertising.
