*Mad Men*’s 4K remaster on HBO Max marred by embarrassing errors
The remastered 4K release of Mad Men on HBO Max has hit technical snags. Fans have spotted errors in several episodes, including a visible crew member during a crucial scene. The streaming service is now working to fix the issues after they went viral online.
All seven seasons of Mad Men were recently remastered in 4K for HBO Max. However, viewers quickly noticed problems in the updated version. In Season 1, Episode 7, a crew member operating a vomit machine is clearly visible when Roger Sterling throws up. The blunder was first flagged by a social media user, @bigrackspart7, and later shared by actress January Jones, who played Betty Draper, on her Instagram story.
The errors in Mad Men’s remastered episodes have garnered significant attention. HBO Max is now correcting the files to ensure a smooth viewing experience. The incident underscores the challenges of remastering classic shows for modern streaming platforms.
