What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite heavy-handedness in spots, the slow-burn of "The Monolith" succeeds in building tension in the development of Peggy, Don, and Roger's stories.

Molly Mulshine Observer 01/04/2015
"Boring" is a strong word, so let's just say last night's Mad Men was no fun. This entire season has been devoid of joy. Go to Full Review Tim Molloy TheWrap 01/04/2015
Sunday's "Mad Men" found Don Draper back where he started: writing tag lines, this time under the supervision of his former secretary. The show's exit music nicely captured how much he's spinning in circles. Go to Full Review Rachel Lubitz Washington Post 01/04/2015
After last week's plotline-packed episode that thankfully had the return of Betty but rather mortifyingly brought Don back to Sterling Cooper & Partners, Mad Men has decided to have a little bit of fun. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Sleasman TV.com 01/04/2015
The world that Mad Men exists in is much more complicated than the one it started in, but those complications are only as good and as bad as the individuals in question make them. Go to Full Review Kiley Thompson Zap2it.com 01/04/2015
Someone throws a pity-party tantrum while someone else goes full-on hippie, and creative gets moved out in favor of the all-mighty ginormous computer in "The Monolith." Go to Full Review Michelle Stark Tampa Bay Times 01/04/2015
All of the workplace stuff really, well, worked. I loved how it evoked the mundane feeling of working in an office, and having to deal with all that entails. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
