      Critic Reviews for Mad Men: Season 4

      Audience Reviews for Mad Men: Season 4

      • Dec 19, 2022
        Show writers attempt to show the evolution of 1960s attitudes and beliefs without imposing present day audiences tastes, prejudices, and attitudes on the characters or plot. A truly revolutionary and enlightened concept that produces superior insight and entertainment value. This type of conceptual thinking is sorely missing in HBO series.
      • Apr 15, 2022
        It's hard to fathom the show keeping up the pace from Season 3, but it does. The character development and the storylines are almost all perfect. There are some major swings and everything is fresh and fun!
      • Apr 15, 2021
        What i love the most of emotional roller coaster that Don has to experience in this season... I mean more women involved in his life and creating such complexities out of a character
      • Apr 07, 2021
        6.7/10 — "Decent" -(Seen in APR '21)
      • Feb 28, 2021
        RATING: A+ Creator: Matthew Weiner Mad Men continues to be one of the greatest shows ever. The Ensemble is as great as always, and the new additions to the main cast are very welcome as well as the complete new characters. The show dives deeper into the question: How to build an ad agency ( whereas this is Obviously the main theme this season ), it also continues to get a little darker. The Writing, Direction and the Production Values as well as the outstanding Cinematography are as great as always.

        La mejor temporada para mi gusto. De principio a fín. Excepcional. El comienzo de decadencia de Don. Cada capítulo es una joya.
      • Sep 06, 2018
        Puntaje Original: 8.0 Mad Men ya es todo un clásico de la TV estadounidense, para todos amantes del cine, Mad Men es una obra maestra, sus momento tan memorables, llevados acabo por personajes entrañables. En resumen GENIAL.

        After the incredible strong finish to Season Three, I expected Season Four of "Mad Men" to get back to its storytelling perfection. That being said, even I was surprised how quickly I gobbled up each of these episodes, watching them at a pace not experienced since the first campaign! Some highlights from this season include (some spoilers here): -The new ad company (so hastily conceived towards the end of the previous season) struggling with all the things that a new business typically struggles with (overhead, payroll, keeping clients happy, etc.). -Don Draper (Jon Hamm), the lynchpin of the show's character drama, goes on more of an emotional rollercoaster than perhaps any other season, from drinking problems to marital issues (and solutions?) to child-raising quandaries. -Peggy Olsen (Elisabeth Moss) really finding her place in a "man's world". She isn't the sheepish wallflower of seasons past in this season. -The former Betty Draper (January Jones) trying to control her home life while her personal life is going the other direction. This season is so good because it also works concurrently on two different levels. The micro-level sees great individual episodes, including an office Christmas party, a long night at the office from Don & Peggy, a rekindling of romance between Joan (Christina Hendricks) & Roger (John Slattery) and a bombshell announcement that changes the entire landscape of the advertising culture. On the macro-level, the Don/Betty dynamic is utterly fascinating, primarily embodied via daughter Sally (Kiernan Shipka). Whereas in earlier seasons Don was set up as the "hopeless womanizer" with Betty "holding everything together", viewers now begin to understand that those characterizations are not as black-and-white as they seem. Like I've said in other reviews about this series, the show is always at its peak when Don is the major focus. He doesn't "do it alone", but any means, but it is his journey that gets the most attention (and thus is what us as viewers want the most resolution too). Basically, this fourth season of "Mad Men" cemented the series as one of my favorite shows of all-time. Can it get a bit soapy at times? Yes...no way around it. But the characters are so interesting and feel so "alive" that one almost can't help but be sucked into the drama.

        It continues to surprise and bring some utterly profound work in their art design.

        One of the best season of mad men
