Pan Am

I've been watching Pan Am for a while and I have to say it is really good. It has definitely kept me occupied while Mad Men is still on hiatus.

Pan Am focuses on the story of the flight crew of a Pan Am air craft during the 1960s. Like Mad Men it is glamorous and the storyline is always fun. I love the costumes and the cast are is incredible. Each episode takes place in another country so the setting is always unique.

Each character's back story is pretty interesting. Kate, is a recently made CIA operative is struggling with the fact that her younger Laura, who recently ran away from her wedding, has also joined Pan Am. She is also trying to find her way as an agent. Maggie is a feminist who loves to break rules, but has a few secrets that could ruin her career. Dean, the youngest Pan Am pilot, is struggling with the disappearance of his fiance Bridget and is starting to get close to another stewardess Coulette.

The show really gives life to the period and does a good job presenting the freedom and excitement that flight brought to a generation of women. I can't wait until the next episode, two weeks from now, and recommend that anyone looking for something fun to watch give it a shot.
