I like that Matthew Weiner and the writers have resisted the urge to make Sally a rebellious wreck of a kid who has no respect for the law. Go to Full Review Judy Berman Flavorwire 09/22/2017
With the specter of death effectively moving into the Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce offices in this episode, I predict we'll see Don endure his most major reckoning before the season is over. Go to Full Review Mike Higgins Independent (UK) 04/17/2013
3/5
The world of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and its employees may be familiar, but it's well enough appointed to keep giving them your business. Go to Full Review Kathryn Reklis The Christian Century 08/21/2018
Whatever useable insights the show might offer come in its portrayal not of big historical movements but of the inner lives of its finely drawn characters, whose desire... and nostalgia combine to aid in the birth of a new world - or to prevent it.

Well, that was long, wasn't it? In all seriousness, we're glad to have Mad Men and its increasingly "dense" narrative back. Go to Full Review David Bianculli NPR's Fresh Air 05/14/2018

Benjamin H Mar 6 While it is a bit slow paced from time to time and some aspects of the plot could have been altered, Mad Men continues to be an immersive and layered show thanks to the masterful dialogue, delightful retro style and tip-top cast of fascinating characters. See more Stuart P 01/23/2025 I thought I was quite repetitive by this series. Don continues to bed woman blah blah blah Quite poor 😕 See more Donald D @Don23 09/25/2023 Oh dear. It moves into a series of badly cut shorts with all the panache of a day time tv soap. Far too many non story lines the writing is weak. The cuts at times make no sense. This series does not come close to the previous seasons. See more Peacemaker 09/02/2023 Excellent TV series. Thoroughly engaging and one of the best TV shows I have ever seen. See more jed i 12/25/2021 6.3/10 — "Okay"/"Watchable" -(Seen in DEC '21) See more 03/14/2021 RATING: A+ Creator: Matthew Weiner Mad Men is in its sixth season as great as always and I really wonder how they kept it so good. The Ensemble is as Outstanding as always and as in every season we've got some guest additions to the Cast, like the great Linda Cardelini. The Screenplays and all of the Characters and their personal stories are as absorbing as always. All of the Production Values are still great and you can really see how everything changes from Season to Season. See more Read all reviews
