"Decay" is in the eye of the beholder; folks said the "modern" and wild shenanigans of the Roaring '20's was a downfall for mankind, too. I don't think the series in any way promotes itself to chronicle "the typical businessman of the early 1960's" or to be cultural history (that's better left to the documentarians). It a portrayal of characters who behave in such ways, that's all. And you know it's fascinating to watch.
Exactly. It's not a documentary. I think a lot of people who want flawless period accuracy would probably have the same problem with historical fiction. The important thing to note is that it is *fiction* first and foremost.
