We ended the first part of season seven in a dreamlike state, with the ghost of Bert Cooper telling us The Best Things In Life Are Free. On Sunday night, we opened with Don and a woman in a mink coat, quite unsure whether this was a dream, a new girlfriend, a prostitute or a model. Of course, fashions change more quickly than attitudes and we soon ...
Ken Cosgrove took a central role with his defenestration at the hands of SC&P’s supposedly independent new owner, McCann. (Cosgrove rubbed them up the wrong way when the old company was sold and he worked there.) Ken’s exit was prefaced by his wife Cynthia telling him to quit. Watching this, I began to to write something about Ken as a cipher of Th...
Briefly, there were some great Joan and Peggy scenes. We saw them working as equals both with each other and with male counterparts at McCann.

In a recent interview, Weiner spoke of the pair’s relationship. “I feel like ...

The specific tell that we’re in the 70s, apart from the moustaches, came when Don watched this speech by Nixon, announcing the Cambodian incursion. Joan’s line about “department stores being blown up by radicals every day” was a reference to the trial of the Panther 21, members of the Black Panthers who were charged in April 1969 with conspiring to...
In the build-up to this final burst of episodes, I’ve been trying to collate some of the best recent articles about the show. This isn’t comprehensive but all of the below are worth your time. I’ll keep collating them here in the run up to the end of it all. 1. A long interview with Weiner by my favourite MadMen chronicler, HitFix’s Alan Sepinwall....
