About a month ago I declared Mad Men “a cool show to like” at least partially due to the fact that it was so critically beloved.
A downside of a show being so critically beloved, though, is that it can often get away with doing things other shows would get slammed for.
Boring dream sequences, hastily drawn relationships, rehashing tired plot-lines and shock value are not features we usually like in dramas, and yet Mad Men has relied on them throughout the first five episodes of its new season.
