Mad men context
These texts discuss the television channel AMC and its original series Mad Men. AMC aimed to attract a niche audience with high-quality scripted shows that broke mainstream conventions. Mad Men was AMC's first original series and was critically acclaimed. Its success led AMC to commission other hits like Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead. AMC's business model was to win over critics first and let wider promotion follow, targeting an engaged audience willing to pay for the channel and view advertisements. This slower approach has proven successful for AMC.
