The Hour is so nothing like Mad Men that I honestly don't understand where the comparisons come from! Just about the only thing they have in common is their era. This show is about conspiracies and journalism and politics and class issues--and it has an absolutely BRILLIANT romance as a sort of background. You should watch it. It's perfect.

We are in agreement on everything, apparently. Shocked, I am.
