Two of the best episodes of TV I have ever seen this week with Game of Thrones and Mad Men. Mad Men in particular is just amazing at the moment. There is so much to each episode that it takes me about three hours to digest them and for them to fully sink in.
Mad Men this series has been simply incred and this week's one was, as you said, among the best TV ever. Once this series has finished I'm quite looking forward to watching them all again from the beginning as that should be so rewarding, considering the show revolves entirely around character development.
Also, a shout for Veep (don't know if this has started on Sky Atlantic yet) - essentially a US-version of The Thick Of It but no less great for that. Stars her out of Seinfeld (who I need to put on Amatay's older women thread)
