Mad Men TV Show Season 6 Review

"…the usual stylish blend of impeccable writing, brilliant performances and meticulous attention to detail that we’ve come to expect. After the first couple of episodes aired, showrunner Matthew Weiner was accussed of merely repeating ideas the show has explored before, with Don (John Hamm) partaking in yet another extra-marital affair while other characters found themselves coming full circle in various situations. But as the season wore on, it suddenly became clear that such repetition was actually part of Weiner’s thematic masterplan, with the head writer exploring the Mad Men-ian notion that history is bound to repeat itself for people who have an inability to mend their ways.

As always, it’s the workplace setting that proves most fruitful from a dramatic standpoint, with the unexpected merger between Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and Ted Chaough’s (Kevin Rahm) rival agency leading to a couple of interesting new dynamics. Character-wise, the arcs of Peggy (Elisabeth Moss) and Betty (January Jones) take a while to heat up, and there simply isn’t enough of Christina Hendricks’ impossibly busomy firm partner Joan. But these are minor complaints in what is, overall, another (Roger) sterling season of serialised drama, with Don’s plot threads proving as immaculately crafted and performed as ever. Can he change? Will he be able to mend his ways? One thing’s for sure, the seventh and final season will be worth watching, regardless. flixcapacitor.co.uk
