Just got through MM. i know it’s not new, but I finally got to watch it. Great series. What’s fun and relevant is the portrayal of Don Draper (lead character) as a Chad. It is really spot on.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

There are a number of TV shows where I've watched 3 or 4 seasons, then just never got back into them. One definitely was "The Walking Dead". I never got around to watching the last few seasons of "The Shield", however, I should, because that was a bloody good show.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

First three seasons were A+ TV. And if guys on here want an example of a true alpha male with a IDGAF attitude who knows how to be charming and suave it is definitely Don Draper.
Agree with other posters though that season 4 and beyond got to be a chore. The pacing was off - and the whole "woman coming into their own" angle I think was very over-done. While that was changing somewhat in real life - even in the final season where it is 1970, it wasn't the reality that the show portrayed. But our society are masters of revisionist history to fit the woke agenda we have now.
