Mad Men, Season 1

I've finished watching Mad Men, Season 1 (Netflixed it). I seem to be missing something. It's a good show, but I don't think I'd call it great. Does it pick up in season two and three at all? Do you have to be older than 31 to really get it? The stereotyping is pretty heavy and the character development, outside of about two people, is incredibly thin. As I watch the season one "behind the scenes" video, all anyone's talking about is the writing. The writing. The writing! Meh.
Again, not saying it's trash, but it's no Entourage - and it's sure as heck no West Wing - either. It's just good.
