Mad Men

I’ll spoiler this, though I do think anyone going into this thread if they haven’t seen it deserves what they get.

The almost stereotypical final episode in every other sense (Joan/Pete progressing on the next stage of their lives, Peggy realising she is in love with Stan, etc.) made the final scene all the better, as it completely set you up for where you thought the Don story was going to end. Especially in the context of him having pretty much given away all his possessions throughout the course of this mini-series. But it turns out it’s the opposite, Don is the only one that doesn’t really change, just goes in cycles.

It was tremendously cynical.

Just finished the second part of the second season over the last couple weeks. What an amazing show.

Betty draper in Rome (cannot remember season ) is a thing to behold

Mad Men is a show that needs to be digested. Going back to back on episodes to an OTT Netflix level is a bad idea imo. Enjoy it.

That was excellent. The fact that she spoke Italian too. Unplumbed* depths.

They never get off the island.

Surprised to read that they took money from Heineken and some others. Didn’t know they’d done that.

I miss the show, nothing with the same style and quality on the box these days.

I must watch it again.

Vastly over rated.

A beautiful thing. Perfection.

You could and should spend a while doing it. It’s a real show to digest, not binge.

Really was excellent. Multi layered.
