Christina Hendricks joins pilot

Christina Hendricks lines up post-‘Mad Men’ gig with Showtime’s ‘Roadies’

-----------------


I enjoyed her on Mad Men & I'm betting she'll deliver on this new role. Just based on the brief description of it & the premise of the show, I can imagine that her character will probably have a lot of heartache.

Cable is really leaving network TV in the dust these days when it comes to programming

She's never been my favorite - I just don't see what everyone else seems to see in her.

I think MEN really only see her FIGURE I did enjoy her on Mad Men myself. considering the era that show was set in, her character definitely bucked the norm for what a woman "should be" @ that time.

Oh I hated that show. I can see scumbag cheating men in real life, I don't need to watch tv about it.

I did dislike how the men's bad behavior was almost ROMANTICIZED as being "apart of an era long gone" or some shit like that. everything from the sexism to the hints of racism they sprinkled throughout the show. but it was ultimately about making these men seem SYMPATHETIC. I liked how certain characters, like Christina's, were able to steal the spotlight & get attention & to showcase a woman who was smart ("scheming" on the show lol) & "ahead of her time" in that she was not a mere doormat.

Yeah, that was what I didn't like about the show as well, that it was "glamourizing" being a cheat and treating women like objects.
