movies/tv The Mad Men Finale (Spoilers)

[Mand'alor Dash 2,224]

That was really something, wasn't it?

 

Mad Men was quite a ride. Never before have I seen a show portray such a pivotal era in our history with that level of accuracy and depth. It was like going all the way back to the 1960s for 40 minutes at a time. And now it's over. Sally's off to school, Betty's come to terms with her death, Joan is going into the pictures, Sterling and Campbell are getting remarried, Peggy's found love, and Don...

 

 

I think Don's going to be okay. 

 

Overall, surprisingly on the "sweet" side of the bittersweet ending we all expected. A sense that the world, and the lives of all who inhabit it, is starting anew.

 

TV Dramas may be getting better (in stark contrast to almost everything else on TV), but surpassing an achievement like Mad Men will take some doing.

 

So... What did you all think?

It was a great ending. However, I have to say, Peggy and Stan just doesn't work for me.   I have thought about it before, but honestly, they're just not that compatible. That might be the only thing I didn't like.

Yeah, that kind of came out of nowhere. Maybe if the writers hadn't held off 'till the last moment, it would have resonated a bit better.
