Jon Hamm Is Rewatching Mad Men for the First Time: "It's A Pretty Good Show"

"It's a pretty good show. I'm very into it. I think this was kind of a great way to do it because I've got ten-plus years of separation on it, so it's kind of like watching a different person up there and a different experience."

"I don't remember a lot of the stuff that I wasn't in, so I'll be like, 'Oh, I forgot that that happened.'"

"There's so many great things happening in the show: Don and Betty are really in a rocky place. Peggy is just being kind of, is just ascendant. Joan is engaged to be married, so there's all this stuff that's percolating."

"Of course, I know how it all ends, but boy, it's a pretty exciting show. I'm pleased."

Jon Hamm has started rewatching Mad Men with his wife, Anna Osceola, for the first time since its original airing. He finds it enjoyable and notes the separation of ten years makes it feel like a different experience. Hamm recalls most of his scenes but is surprised by events he wasn't part of. They are currently watching the second season and discussing various character developments. The show's transfer to HBO Max has improved its quality, and a complete Blu-ray box set is available.
