Still pissed that AMC is splitting this season like they have with other shows, but whatever -- it's what they're doing, and I have to wait a whole freaking year during the mid-season break for it to finish up. Don's life was going down the shitter in S6, so where do we go with him from here?
It seems to have been met with less enthusiasm by viewers -- I think that may be partly because the show is even more heavily-analyzed now than it used to be. Plus, many people are now accustomed to binge-viewing.
This is a show that unfolds slowly, and Season 6, as I had anticipated even when it was airing, fares much better on a rewatch when the whole trajectory is clear. But that's true with each season of this show, and many other serialized shows as well. It's just that Mad Men is so unusually densely-packed, and moves at such a glacial pace.Anyway, psyched.
