Digitally remastered episodes of the beloved period drama "Mad Men" debuted on HBO Max this week with a host of production errors that inexplicably made their way to the streaming platform. HBO Max last month gleefully announced it'd be streaming the Emmy-winning AMC show "in 4K, giving audiences and longtime MAD MEN fans the opportunity to enjoy the series’ authentically-crafted elements with crisp detail and enhanced visual clarity." But when "Mad Men" hit the streaming service on Monday, viewers caught several basic production errors that somehow slipped into the final product.
The mishaps were apparently due to the wrong files being delivered to HBO Max and producers are now scrambling to get the correct copies of the show to the streaming service.
Nightmare fuel for dailies coordinators everywhere

As weird as it sounds, I actually like catching mistakes like this. It’s a reminder that even at the highest level, and I’d definitely put Mad Men on HBO Max up there, they still slip up too. It sucks because you know someone behind the scenes is probably getting chewed out for it, but for me, as an indie creator, it’s a good reminder that even the biggest studios with the biggest budgets still make mistakes. We look at them like they’re always perfect, never missing a beat… but that’s just not the case.
