"Streaming services have a way of reviving love for old shows, and HBO Max is looking to entice old and new fans with this month's addition of Mad Men. Instead, viewers have been laughing at the problems with the show's 4K premiere. Mad Men ran on the AMC channel for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015. The show had a vintage aesthetic, depicting the 1960s advertising industry in New York City."
"Last month, HBO Max announced it would modernize the show by debuting a 4K version. The show originally aired in SD and HD resolutions and had not been previously made available in 4K through other means, such as Blu-ray. However, viewers were quick to spot problems with HBO Max's 4K Mad Men stream, the most egregious being visible crew members in the background of a scene."
HBO Max added Mad Men to its streaming catalog in a newly created 4K transfer. Mad Men originally aired on AMC for seven seasons from 2007 to 2015 and portrayed the 1960s advertising industry in New York City with a vintage aesthetic. The series had previously been available only in SD and HD and had no prior 4K release. The HBO Max 4K stream contained visible production errors noticed by viewers. In Season 1, Episode 7 "Red in the Face", a crew member operating a vomit hose appeared in the background while Roger Sterling vomited oysters. The episode may have been mislabeled on the service.
