    Mad Men really feels like a show that's run a season too long. It started feeling that way towards the in season 6 and, sadly, season 7 follows suit as it limps out of the gate. Whatever connections I felt with these characters from seasons 1-4 have slowly been whittled away by seasons 5 and 6. Now in Season 7, I can't bring myself to really care about them anymore.

Whatever connections I felt with these characters from seasons 1-4 have slowly been whittled away by seasons 5 and 6. Now in Season 7, I can't bring myself to really care about them anymore. Don is the same old Don. Peggy is the same old Peggy. Sterling is the same old Sterling, now with 100% more LSD instead of booze. Pete has changed for the (somewhat) better but at the cost of everyone else at SC&P, who have all become jerks.

    Like LamontRaymond said in his review of the pilot, it just feels like we've been here before... Over and over and over again. The suspense and drama of the character interactions ran their course a long time ago. Meanwhile, the promo videos show Pete talking to someone on the phone about breaking away and starting yet another agency? We've seen that plot line once already...    … Expand

    It's only been one episode, but this season feels mailed-in. Workaday. Been there,done that. I'm intrigued by the Freddy storyline, and the Neve Campbell scene was cool, but the rest felt oh so .... standard.

    This series has been one of the best I've ever seen, up through the end of season 5. But in season 6 it went off the rails, or became afraid of its own trajectory and retreated.

But in season 6 it went off the rails, or became afraid of its own trajectory and retreated. Don Draper was set up to vault into totally unknown territory at the end of season 5, but season 6 did not follow through, and suddenly the whole theme of the show the whole thing about Don's identity has become irrelevant. It is so strange. I'm not sure why the writers retreated, but instead of launching into where the story has brought them, the writers have backtracked and backpedalled and most of the show in season 6 and season 7 is nothing more than repeating things that have happened before in the series. This has been a real let down and is kind of shocking. Just pretend the series ends at the end of season 5, and it will seem like a really excellent series, and you can imagine what happened following season 5 rather than watch the sad truth.… Expand

    Being a great fan of Mad Men, I was disappointed by the first part of Season 7. The title of each episode could be “Everybody against Don Draper”. For reasons I cannot understand, Don suddenly turned into the most despised character and spends each episode being humiliated by his former friends and colleagues.

The title of each episode could be “Everybody against Don Draper”. For reasons I cannot understand, Don suddenly turned into the most despised character and spends each episode being humiliated by his former friends and colleagues.

    Besides, some of his decisions hardly make any sense, such as going back to his agency, despite the demeaning rules set by his associates. He could have sold his share in the agency and got a better job elsewhere. Then there is Peggy’s behavior and her turning into a bigger **** each season. Even if Don did not do anything to harm her and her new boss Lou is a total dick, she welcomes back Don saying “Nobody mussed you”. Where was that coming from?

    Joan is also turning into an aloof **** Richard is lost in LSD and everybody else just hates Don for no fathomable reason. Finally, the reasons why Don and Megan marriage is still going on are impossible to understand. Also, the actress playing Sally Draper is now almost fully grown up and when she speaks, she gives me the creeps with her deep, masculine voice. Big disappointment.    … Expand

    With its signature mixture of tiny details providing texture and easy storytelling flow, Mad Men lures us back into its final season with all the confidence in the world.

    There’s a confidence in the writing in this episode that’s been missing the last few years, in which it sometimes felt like we were spinning our wheels.

    You will find things still generally a mess come Sunday, but now there is at least the possibility of light.
