Mad Men is an American period drama television series created by Matthew Weiner that aired on AMC from 2007 to 2015, centered on Don Draper, a creative director at a fictional Madison Avenue advertising agency, and set against the changing social and professional landscape of the United States through the 1960s. The series was noted for its detailed recreation of period fashion, design and workplace culture, and for using the advertising industry as a lens on shifting attitudes toward gender, race, sexuality and consumerism across the decade. Mad Men is widely regarded as a driving force behind the prestige serialized-drama boom on American cable television in the late 2000s and 2010s.
