Mad Men, Mad Men season 6 review
Every week on “Mad Men,” Don Draper manages to sink ever further down the rabbit hole. We don’t have any real idea how the man does it, but his descent into being the most pathetic man who has ever lived, despite having so much power and money, is almost a remarkable thing to watch. Of […]
If you are someone who pays very close attention to story arcs and their direction over the course of the season, then you likely know that episode eight, at least of a cable show, is around the point where the course of the story is really charted straight up until the ending. If you look […]
If you want some good spoilers for “Mad Men” season 6, there is only one real answer for you: Good luck trying to find them. This is not a show that gives much of anything away when it comes to its content. However, at least the show’s creator in Matthew Weiner is kind enough to […]
After Sunday night’s bizarre episode of “Mad Men,” there is primarily one thought that comes into our brain: Don Draper and Pete Campbell are basically even worse people than we originally thought. If we were Sylvia, we would have made Don eat his shoes after the humiliating ritual he put her through. Somehow, he has […]
For the first few weeks of “Mad Men” season 6, there was a very distinct reaction from both us and from most of social media: “yawn.” Where was the buzz? Where was the reason to get excited about what was once a pretty freakin’ great show? We just weren’t seeing it. Luckily, someone woke up […]
For the first time all season, “Mad Men” Sunday night gave us exactly what we were looking for. While there were some stunning moments away from the workplace (especially if you are the despicable man otherwise known as Pete Campbell), there was finally something interesting enough happening at SCDP to really grab our attention: The […]
Mad Men, Mad Men season 6 review
On tonight’s episode of “Mad Men” season 6 the name of the game is business, more specifically getting new business into SCDP. While some people at the company still prefer to do business the old fashion way (over drinks and pitches), Roger is taking a bit of a different approach and with that let’s get […]
If you look back at “Mad Men” season 5, there were a few episodes that you considered to be critical installments for some of the characters involved (“Commissions and Fares,” “The Other Woman”). However, the hit AMC show still feels in some ways as though it is lacking that big moment to get viewers excited […]
Based on what Matthew Weiner said on the NPR show “Fresh Air” recently, it is almost fair to say one thing about the man: He is already trying to do everything he can to prepare people for an ending to “Mad Men” that they may or may not like. After all, there is probably not […]
We understand that the headline to this “Mad Men” story may look particularly scandalous, but you also have to remember one important thing here: AMC is not exactly doing a phenomenal job these days of giving us a great deal to work with. Likely for reasons such as the element of surprise that we had […]
