With all of the various streaming services competing for your attention these days, some of the smaller (and less promoted) ones tend to get lost in the shuffle. But that doesn’t mean that they don’t have plenty of interesting films and television series on offer. AMC Plus may have started off with the intention of showcasing just the series that originated on the AMC cable channel, but since then, it has taken off.
Not only has it licensed shows from other networks, but it also features plenty of ambitious co-productions and has developed its own originals that are released simultaneously to streaming and on AMC. From quirky sci-fi and fantasy projects to prestige dramas, AMC Plus has a little bit of something for everyone. 'Mad Men' This one’s kind of a no-brainer, right? "Mad Men" isn’t just one of the best shows on AMC Plus, it’s among the greatest TV series in history.
Starring Jon Hamm as the enigmatic Don Draper, it tells the story of a New York City advertising agency over the course of the turbulent 1960s. Although Don is the centerpiece of the show, one of "Mad Men’s" greatest strengths is its deep bench of supporting actors, with career-best performances from Elisabeth Moss, Christina Hendricks and Vincent Kartheiser, amongst many others. It sits cozily amidst the modern golden age of television, with writing that is often incredibly moving but always interesting.
The Season 4 episode "The Suitcase" alone earns it a place on any respectable best-of list.
