The avg. daytime soap opera is terrible not because it focuses on more mundane relationship stuff or whatever, they're bad because they're terribly written, badly acted, and grinding out one ep per day forever. Mad Men basically does none of those things. It just has similar plot elements. That might mean it's not the show for you- but I think this complaint is a pretty lazy one.
