The writing, by Weiner, direction by Scott Hornbacher and performances are, of course, top notch. Read full review

Weiner’s ability to capture “human” set Mad Men apart at the first beginning and shows no sign of faltering at the second. Read full review

The pace hasn’t quickened. Nor does the storyline congeal. Instead, Sunday’s re-opener builds to a terrifically poignant finish accompanied by music that likewise cries out in pain. Read full review

Mad Men has both the greatness of execution and inscrutability of artistic intent, and it won't be until the show actually ends that I'll know which one won out. [21 Apr 2014, p.41]

With its signature mixture of tiny details providing texture and easy storytelling flow, Mad Men lures us back into its final season with all the confidence in the world. Read full review

In each one [hour] that we do see, there’s a sense of urgency in the face of change, of characters figuring they have maybe one more chance to get themselves where they want to be. Read full review

In the past, the slower season premieres crackled with energy. You could feel the tension. Traveling through Time Zones, you experience something of a power failure. Read full review

Mad Men continues to be one of the most brilliantly written, acted, and directed programs on TV. Anyone who claims that the first episode was predictable and the performances phoned in just does not have the inherent capacity to appreciate what they're watching. Matt Weiner still has the ability to both fullfill and upend viewers' expectations at the same time. It's what makes Mad Men so compelling.… Expand

I really don't know what Mad Men is divided by seasons. Series for itself is an unity. Things that happens links each other and everything has a reason to be there.

The first two episodes were very good: easily living up to Mad Men standards. Field Trip was the first episode I loved. It was followed by The Monolith, one of my favorite Mad Men episodes to date, an episode packed with symbolism and passionate outbursts. The next episode, The Runaways, is almost certainly the weirdest, most surprising Mad Men episode I've ever seen, but it was still incredible. The last two episodes were consistently excellent, with moments that stand alongside my favorite moments in the whole show. The mid-season finale made me want more, but not in the cheap way of most shows: I am intrigued without feeling like my emotions were manipulated. I am eagerly awaiting the series finale, and I can't wait to see what all the writers will create next!… Expand

Mad Men successfully established the prototype for the new cable serial drama. It has the look and feel of something splendid. It is set in the 60's, yet never truly demonstrated just how profound that decade was. The period and setting is reduced to simple decor without a soul. LikeMad Men successfully established the prototype for the new cable serial drama. It has the look and feel of something splendid. It is set in the 60's, yet never truly demonstrated just how profound that decade was. The period and setting is reduced to simple decor without a soul. Like advertising. Like the man who calls himself Don Draper. The 60's may well be the most significant decade in America, one that spawned promises we are still coming to terms with and catching up to, but in Mad Men it is merely peripheral embellishment, window dressing. Despite it's minimalist execution and vapid content, Mad Men has the lure and semblance of profound significance. In it's entire bouquet of 86 episodes, little actually happened. It could all have been effectively distilled into a 90 minute movie. Yet it was all so very seductive and entrancing. It ensnared us with its false nostalgia, those simple, innocuous times. It teased us with a sly grin more enigmatic than the Mona Lisa. Above all, it manufactured a tender impression of comfort and familiarity. Like a narcissistic mirrored experience. Provoking in us to ask "Who are we?". At it's core Mad Men is a zombie flick. Empty characters in a soulless world, carrying on despite the absence of meaning and identity. We aren't Don Draper. Jon Hamm isn't Don Draper. Not even Don Draper is Don Draper. I'm still waiting to see the final 7 episodes but I predict (**** Warning! Imaginary Spoiler Ahead! Stop Now or Proceed With Caution! ****) it will end like it began. Don Draper kills Don Draper. Either literally or in a dream he can't wake up from.… Expand

Two seasons ago Mad Men descended into cliche with fights, deaths, each episode seemed to have a cliffhanger but now thankfully we're back to the slow burn weirdness where so little happens it is actually more compelling.

Also thankfully its not on the media radar so much, there was a point when it was getting so trendy it got overblown. It seems to be descending into a sort of murky world suited for fans as opposed to being picked over every day the way breaking bad was. So that's all good. The one thing for me is that I still don't uderstand why don draper is seen as some tragic figure hurtling into an abyss. To me he seems to have had a pretty awesome time! Women, money, cars, family who stick with him, what's the problem?… Expand

Being a great fan of Mad Men, I was disappointed by the first part of Season 7. The title of each episode could be “Everybody against Don Draper”. For reasons I cannot understand, Don suddenly turned into the most despised character and spends each episode being humiliated by his formerBeing a great fan of Mad Men, I was disappointed by the first part of Season 7. The title of each episode could be “Everybody against Don Draper”. For reasons I cannot understand, Don suddenly turned into the most despised character and spends each episode being humiliated by his former friends and colleagues.

Besides, some of his decisions hardly make any sense, such as going back to his agency, despite the demeaning rules set by his associates. He could have sold his share in the agency and got a better job elsewhere. Then there is Peggy’s behavior and her turning into a bigger **** each season. Even if Don did not do anything to harm her and her new boss Lou is a total dick, she welcomes back Don saying “Nobody mussed you”. Where was that coming from?

Joan is also turning into an aloof **** Richard is lost in LSD and everybody else just hates Don for no fathomable reason. Finally, the reasons why Don and Megan marriage is still going on are impossible to understand. Also, the actress playing Sally Draper is now almost fully grown up and when she speaks, she gives me the creeps with her deep, masculine voice. Big disappointment.… Expand
