I've had friends bounce off this show as they find it boring, but I really love it. I think you have to fall in love with the characters and how they change over the decade. Pete Campbell's journey is an incredible one - compare him in Season 1 to Season 4 to Season 7 for example. As someone who loves history but wasn't alive in the 60's and has only heard about it from their parents, I do appreciate getting some context for the events of that decade, however dressed up and thin it may be in a show like this. When Roger casually rambles off the date of his daughter's wedding as they pick out invitations, I almost spit out my drink the first time I watched.
