im an avid follower of the blog and love the thought-provoking questions you folks put up. p.s- next time you're in bangladesh, shoot me an email!Jonathan Patterson saidIt's only accurate up to a point. As @Trev and @Warren noted, the show is first about entertainment and second about depicting the industry. As an entertainment source, I like it.Jordan saidIt's more realistic than Mad Men. I'm pretty sure a legitimately 'accurate' portrayal of our industry would be so boring, or confusing that no one would watch the show. Seems like they're trying to make it more about relationships and ideas.
