Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko te mutunga tēnei. He hoa ataahua, te mutunga. Mo nga tau o 1960, ka tae mai te mutunga - i runga anō i ō whakaaro me tō iwi - ahakoa ko te porotiti o te kapa Rolling Stones o Altamont i te Hakihea 1969, ko te parekura o Kent State i Mei 1970, ko te pōtitanga anō o Richard Nixon i te tau 1972. Mo te "Mad Men", ko te "mutunga o te wā", e ai ki tana kauhau, ka tīmata i te Rātapu. I roto i ngā tau e waru kua hipa, ko te whakaaturanga e pā ana ki tētahi pokapū pānuitanga o ngā tau 1960 me tōna tūtukitanga ki ngā wā hurihuri, kua noho hei wāhanga o te paparanga ā-motu, mēnā kāore anō kia nui te pānuitanga. Kua waihangahia e nga toa nga raina ahua i whakaaweahia e te whakaaturanga; he "Mad Men" cocktails me nga whakaaturanga whare taonga "Mad Men" tae atu ki nga tohutoro perehitini "Mad Men". Ko Don Draper, te kaiwhakahaere waihanga i whakaarihia e Jon Hamm, kua noho hei tohu o te wā - tōna wā, ā, i ētahi wā, tō tātou wā. Kua mau ki te ngākau o ōna kaupapa te whakaaturanga. I te marama o Poutu-te-rangi, i whakatūria he paepae "Mad Men" ki mua i te Whare Time & Life o New York, kei reira te umanga pakiwaitara o Sterling Cooper & Partners. Ko te mutunga o tētahi raupapa pouaka whakaata e mau mai ana i ētahi mōrearea. "The Sopranos", "Mad Men" te kaihanga o mua o Matthew Weiner, i wehewehe i nga kaiwhaiwhai me tana mutunga rongonui ki te pango. I tetahi atu taha, ko "Mad Men's" o mua o AMC, "Breaking Bad", i mihi mo te taunga tino pai. I a ia e korero ana mo nga taunga: Ko te waa whakamutunga - he mea hangarau, ko te haurua tuatahi o te waa 7 - i mutu me te taunga o te marama i te Hōngongoi 1969. Ahakoa i noho puku a Weiner me ana kaiwhakaari - i huna e Weiner te mutunga o tana kaiwhakaari i te tuatahi - he tika te whakaaro ka tere tonu te waa hou. He aha te mea ka tupu? Anei ētahi whakaaro. I te wā e karanga ana ngā tau 60 ki te mutunga, kāore pea a "Mad Men" e nui ake te peke atu. Ko te haurua whakamutunga o te tau 1969 ko ngā kohuru a Manson, te hākari o Woodstock, he pakanga ki te tūranga o New York me ngā whakaaturanga whakamutua o te Pakanga o Vietnam - he nui te kai hei whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mā ngā pūāhua, ahakoa he āta. Ko wai e mōhio? Ka whakahua pea te whakaaturanga i te Miracle Mets. Ka waiho hei...
Ko ngā wāhanga whakamutunga e whitu o "Mad Men's" ka tīmata ki te rere i te 5 o Aperira. Kāore te whakaaturanga i whai pānga nui engari e kiia ana ko tētahi o ngā raupapa pouaka whakaata nui rawa. Kāore i te mōhiotia he aha ka pā ki ngā pūāhua, engari ka taea e tātou te whakaaro tonu.
