After years of being tucked way on AMC’s in-house streaming service AMC+, one of the network’s iconic series, Mad Men, has finally found a new, more widely-subscribed-to, home: HBO Max.

While Mad Men was on Netflix a decade or so ago, it’s been on AMC+ since 2020, which has likely lead to a sharp drop off in new viewers of the iconic series, which is widely considered to be one of the Mt. Rushmore TV series of the 21st century alongside The Wire, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad.

Now that it’s on HBO Max, however, it’s likely to fine a ton of new fans — myself included, as I’ve never seen the series. It’s also, however, going to include some head-scratching errors, at least as far as the early returns indicate.

Mad Men has begun streaming on HBO Max but includes a few bizarre errors, including a production assistant manning a puke machine

After being added to HBO Max on December 1, fans immediately noticed some odd mistakes with the series, most notably the apperance of production assistants (PA) in the background of a scene in which John Slattery’s character pukes on the floor.

That’s not the only apparent error, however, as another view claims the pilot episode is missing the key explanation of what “mad men” are.

The mistakes in the 4K transfer of Mad Men on HBO Max are emblematic
of a more widespread issue with society, and that’s a general carelessness with the way things are handled, particularly when it comes to technology (any plans on putting some restrictions on AI now that it can make photorealistic images of ANYTHING, US government?).

Mad Men premiered on AMC in July 2007 and ran until May 2015, spanning seven seasons. The series starred Jon Hamm as Don Draper, an exec at s at the fictional Sterling Cooper advertising agency on Madison Avenue in Manhattan, New York City.
