Mad Men...

If I'm six episodes into season 1 and not hooked yet is it worth pressing on??

I hear such good things, I really want to like it but so far it's fairly dull story wise (if visually brilliant.)

Just persevere. It is fab, but I've loved it from the start so maybe I'm biased!

I think so. I was a bit underwhelmed at first but halfway through series 2 and loving it.

It's very understated, slow moving and "quiet" and probably would be difficult to watch in a binge format (if that's how you're watching)---particularly that first season until you get a chance to get to know the characters.

I think it's actually the best thing I've ever seen on tv and was shocked when I forced my friends to borrow the box set and they didn't like it ?!?!
Now they know how I felt when I tell them Breaking Bad is a complete yawnfest.
It's just not your cup of tea.

I gave up after 4 episodes.
