What to Know

Critics Consensus

"The Strategy" addresses the changing gender norms of the late 1960s through the lens of Don and Peggy's complex professional relationship, and the result is intelligent and occasionally quite touching.

Molly Mulshine Observer 01/04/2015
Mad Men is currently occupying a no-man's-land where families are breaking down and hierarchies are being shaken up, but huge groups of people are still being treated like second-class citizens due to their gender or sexuality. Go to Full Review Heather Havrilesky Salon.com 01/04/2015

At least in "The Strategy" the payoff was worth the wait -- in no small part because it also involved the transformational fates of Don and Pete as well while allowing Peggy to, indeed, brilliantly define the strategy of Burger Chef. Go to Full Review Courtney Vaudreuil TV Equals 01/04/2015
Last night's episode of Mad Men was exasperating. We retread familiar ground and made little to no progress on the glacial pace of this season's action. Go to Full Review Bonnie Stiernberg Paste Magazine 01/04/2015
