It is set in NYC in 1960 during the advertising boom. The main character, Don Draper, is very intriguing, and the show follows his life. The show focuses more on character development than plot, which is why I like it so well. I find the setting and characters to be spot on. I love how the drink and smoke at work, and it is interesting to watch how the men treat the secretaries and other females in the workplace. I break the show up into three main areas of Don's life: his work life, his home life, and his "secret" life. The show is fantastic!

Are they Gangsters?

No, not gangsters, Darrell, lol. But life in 1960 was very different. In the first season a women goes to a ob/gyn, she's in the stirrups and he's smoking.

I believe season 3 is taking place in 1963
