Mad Men Season 3 so far..

After inhaling season one and two of this glorious series a few things  have got in the way of my watching season three, but last night there was a conflux of events, I wasn't needed at rehearsal and I had a pile of ironing to do so I broke out series three of mad men on blu ray no less.

The opening sequence of the first episode with Don in the kitchen watching his memories unfold around him was just totally exquisite and it set the bar pretty high for the rest of the episode.

As with previous seasons of Mad Men stuff happens but it happens at a glacial pace, nuance is everything.

In the first four episodes there were several stand out moments for me.

1. Pete and Trudy dancing.
2. Joan Holloway playing an accordion and singing.
3. Joan giving Peggy advice on advertising for a roomie.
4. The moment where Betty let's a complete stranger feel her bump
5. Gene letting Sally drive, plus the whole Sally/Gene grandpa/granddaughter relationship.

I can't wait to see what happens next in this series it is so beguiling.
