Honestly, this is one of the best shows I have ever watched. All of the characters are interesting and multi-dimensional. Each episode is interesting on its own while, at the same time, building a larger narrative. It shows a familiar story in a unique and interesting way without villainizing every single male character. Yes, there are bad men in this show and the occasional bad women, but it shows that the problem with sexism in the U.S. workplace is more complicated. In addition to this, it also makes you think about other problems in the U.S., such as what it is like to be a black woman in America, the problem with gender roles in marriage and romantic relationships, and the Vets dealing with PTSD.
Furthermore, the acting and the costumes are simply stunning. The whole cast is amazing, and there isn't a single poor performance from anyone. However, Anna Camp steals the show as her character undergoes the most interesting transformation. She also looks breathtaking in every single shot she is in, regardless if she is in a fancy dress or a simple nightgown. The only real flaw of the show was it was too sexual at times. But if you can get passed that this show is nearly perfect. Sadly, I think this show came out just a little too soon as it predated the #Metoomovement. Nevertheless, if there ever is a second season, I would binge it all the day it came out.
My wife and I watched the whole show in 3 evenings. Each episode was better than the next. Great acting, great music, great characters, great story line. In the vain of Mad Men but with twenty somethings in 1969. The show felt like a natural extension of Mad Men and would be a natural progression into the topics of the 1970's. We were loving each of the three main characters and Could not wait until season two...but Amazon cancelled it after two months??? I was only aware of the show after a friend mentioned how good it was. I had not seen a single ad for it anywhere ( unlike Goliath which had ads everywhere). I mean how could this be a failure after two months of being out and no promotion? Stunned and turned off by this decision.
This is one of the best series I have ever seen. The stories it covers, the dominant of which being that of feminism, are as important today as the time of the story itself. The casting and performances are fantastic. It's perfectly executed and just a beauty to watch.
The lead female roles offer a range of characters which allow for some beautiful performances. It is also refreshing to see the balance of male and female partial nudity, rather than nudity being on the part of the female only.
The irony of an all-male board within a media company canceling a show about male dominance in the media industry. This is one of those shows whose importance should be all that we need to renew it.
Well done to all those involved in the creation of this series, keep it up.

Happenstance led me to this series and I, as well as my husband, totally taken with it. Having lived the 60's in Manhattan, I can really relate to this. So disappointed the series was not renewed. Hoping this will change. Can't wait to introduce my daughter to the series (she lived Manhattan in the late 90's). Great series, excellent performances!
Absolutely loved this series! Enjoyable from episode 1-10, great plot, characters were believable and it was a fast paced show, leaving you excited to watch next episode.
Moreover, it was well researched for time period (language, music, set, clothes etc) but most importantly it was a great representation of history!! This was such an important revolutionary time for women standing up for their rights no matter how big or small a part they played. What womenkind did for us then had shaped the world we live in now!
Amazon I'm so terribly disappointed you cancelled this, there was so much in the plot that you could have given us at least 3 series!! Please do more series like this, read the reviews of your shows! Women love all sorts of series, but I also love something other than action series that you are constantly piling out.
If you liked this, although not the same style I'd highly recommend Dietland & The Bold Type on Amazon Prime Video.
