Tech Crew Spotted in Roger Sterling’s Vomit Scene
Mad Men, the acclaimed drama series set in the 1960s, recently premiered on HBO Max. Starting December 1, 2023, all seven seasons became available for streaming in 4K Ultra HD. HBO Max highlighted this launch by noting that it marks the first time Mad Men can be viewed in such enhanced detail.
Technical Glitches in the 4K Release
While HBO Max aimed to impress viewers with sharp visuals, some unexpected issues arose. Fans watching the Season 1, Episode 7 scene, titled ‘Red in the Face,’ encountered a surprising sight. In this scene, Roger Sterling, portrayed by John Slattery, has a dramatic moment after too many oysters and martinis.
Unintended Visual Distractions
Due to a technical glitch, the 4K transfer displayed something not seen in the original AMC broadcast. Viewers noticed modern-day tech crew members visible in the shot, managing the effects for Roger’s performance. This moment drew laughter and disbelief from fans who weren’t anticipating any behind-the-scenes glimpses.
