What to Know

Critics Consensus

"The Runaways" is definitely this season's weirdest episode, but its foray into threesomes, self-mutilations, and bathroom stall conversations makes for an interesting hour.

Distraction and desperation abound in an episode of Mad Men that may have more impact down the line, as it seemingly advertises the value of single-minded focus above the near constant diversion of living a double life. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
