Well, that's a bit surreal..

I've been watching Mad Men for the first time recently.
It's extremely good.
I finished the first season a few weeks ago, and watched about half of the second season yesterday.
In between, I read most of Liar's Poker, about bond trading, Salomon Brothers, and the invention of interest-rate swaps. It was extremely surreal, because in many respects, it seemed like the world of Sterling Cooper and the world of Salomon Brothers just weren't very far away from each other.

I adore Mad Men. I came to it a bit late (last year) and decided to give it a shot after so many people couldn't shut up about it. Mind you, the last season, not a word from folks- I guess they assume those who know, know.

Do you watch Dexter?

I don't, which is silly, as I quite liked Six Feet Under.

I started watching Dexter because I really liked (& missed) Six Feet Under. But, OMG! ew!
(and that comes from someone who watched 2.5 out of 3 CSI, 2 out of 3 Law & Order, Bones & a bunch of other crime/drama/chop-em-up shows)
