This show wants to copy the portrayal of women in the workplace (and their status in the world in general in the late 60s and early 70s) that was so well done in Mad Men. My first reaction is this is one of those Hollywood knee-jerks, where we see a spate of new shows trying to cash in on the popularity established by a hit show.

It's not a bad pilot, and more watchable than most similar shows, but not great. That said, I'm sure it will get green-lit by Amazon.
If they are trying to be true and accurate in the events they write about, they will need to do better. In the first few minutes, one character locates Altamont as if it's in the Oakland suburbs, and later it's mentioned as being just outside Berkeley. That's some lazy writing ...
