I just started seeing older Critically-Acclaimed TV series on Netflix. Wanting to see what all the Buzz was about
I was previously impressed with AMC's Rubicon and The Walking Dead but I never saw the original showing of Breaking Bad or Mad Men. So with Network Television taking a hiatus from even trying to put out quality, I flipped on the Netflix and started watching some old series.
Mad Men grabbed me right away. This was not fluff.
This was real story-telling.
Well I guess not all the programmers have been
sleeping during the "reality-snores" or the
"Attack of Amatuer Hour" singers and Vegas acts.
Saying: "What's punky little AMC getting all those HBO-quality awards for?".
Good Question.
I Give them credit for "Taking a Shot".

But I'm afraid they forgot about the story-telling part.
Sigh.
