And I'm totally obsessed 6 episodes into season 1. 
  
Was worried that it wouldn't be interesting, but then I started watching the characters themselves and how they were reacting to the situations around them instead of just watching for the situations around them, if you catch me meaning.

Don Draper is my favorite character on television. I'm sure he is not the most complicated person on tv, but he is the most intriguing in my eyes. At the very least he is extremely well written.

I might start watching Mad Men after I finish the third season of Breaking Bad.

I didn't expect very much from the series from reading a general plot synopsis of the show but when I got finished with the first season, I instantly became obsessed with watching the show. Since you are very early into the series, I'd like to say that the show can reach extremely intense situations (as far as I'm concerned, at least). 
 
Around the same time, I got around to watching the Godfather trilogy so when I watched the television premiere of Conan, I've been watching his show religiously.

I should really give the series a watch. I just never had the opportunity to watch it unfortunately.

I just watched the first episode and, although I'm not totally convinced, it enticed me enough to make me want to keep watching at a later date.

If he isn't the most complex; who is?

I started watching after I caught some random episode of it  on BBC 3 one night and liked it so I sought out the rest of the series and I am very glad I did tis a great show.

@HandsomeDead: No one comes to mind. Was making the statement to deflect the "don draper is the Vin Diesel of television characters! Simple minded and a piece of shit!" comments. 
 
I'm sure some people would say Jack from LOST is pretty complex.
