'Mad Men' Media Alert

The second season of Mad Men, the groundbreaking series from AMC that critics are calling one of “TV’s best-ever dramas” (Boston Globe), is now available on DVD and Blu-ray Disc from Lionsgate. From Matthew Weiner, the Emmy award-winning executive producer and writer of The Sopranos, Mad Men is the ground-breaking series about the glamorous, ego-driven “Golden Age” of advertising, where everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems. In its second season, Mad Men continues to blur the lines between truth and lies, perception and reality. The world of Mad Men is moving in a new direction — can Sterling Cooper keep up? Meanwhile, the private life of Don Draper becomes complicated in a new way. What is the cost of his secret identity?
