Don attempts to return to his advertising agency after being put on indefinite leave following a meltdown in the middle of a client meeting. Eventually, his status at the firm becomes the focus of a bitter power struggle between Roger and Jim, both of whom want to take Sterling Cooper & Partners in radically different directions. The highly anticipated series conclusion will, for the last time, follow the complex lives of Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty and Pete as their stories come to an end. It's the End of an Era.
This is the close of seven seasons of a show that doggedly pursued its own vision. Its task is not to give you everything you want, or me everything I want. It's not a test, and the last episode isn't an answer key. It's a story that's over now.
Maybe this Mad Men final episode will take on deeper resonance as time goes by. But my initial impression is that it suffers by keeping Don so far away from the other characters. And his catharsis comes on a little too quickly.
It wasn't particularly enjoyable to watch. After the build-up and the promise and the ever-higher expectations, "Person to Person" was underwhelming and a little bit boring.
As a fan, I was a little heartened by the show's finale. Weiner resolved nearly every character's story in a mostly positive fashion that close watchers of the show are likely to love.
I'm dusting off my hippie beads, dabbing my ear lobes with patchouli oil, and joining Don in a blissed-out, Allen Ginsberg-style meditation of satisfaction that this is the end.
Matt Weiner's rich, characterful drama about the lives of the advertising men and women of New York's Madison Avenue in the Sixties and Seventies went out with a witty, absorbing final episode.
