Mad Men (TV Series) A Little Kiss, Part 2 (2012) User Reviews

The return of an old friend...

[tbmforclasstsar · 9/10 · 26 March 2012]

You know that feeling when you run into someone you haven't seen for a while and it's a little strange at first, but after a while you feel like you want to grab a drink with them? That you somehow forgot how great of a person they are or that they are extremely entertaining to be around? You may even want to put on a suit and bust out chain smoking with them.

OK, maybe the last part only refers to my feelings last night, but the return of "Mad Men" on AMC, after 17 months of no new episodes, gave me this exact feeling. As the episode began, and we had moved forward a few years in the narrative, I felt like I didn't recognize my old friend. These characters and places are different. Is this still the show I loved for four full seasons?

But it didn't take long for my old friend to tell me some funny anecdotes and draw me back in with some drama we haven't enjoyed together since our younger years. And while each character has changed, new characters have joined the picture, and a lot has happened since we last interacted, this is the same "Mad Men" that I came to love and form a solid friendship with.

Masterpiece episode

Great episode, the hole constellation and interaction of the characters the episodes before accumulate just by handing a baby through the hole bureau. Applause!

Mad About You-Mad Men ****

Excellent episode.

It appears that women at the advertising are mainly sexual objects will be exploited at every turn.

Notice that the agency consists of guys who are good looking since that in itself will cause the customer to buy. Everyone is quite articulate, sly, cunning, you name it.

Don Draper seems to be the most perfect guy. He can't take to turning age 40 and denounces his new wife for throwing a surprise birthday part for him.

Even the senior partner of the firm, our British gentleman, seems bored with life and is ready to take up with the girl whose wallet he has found. It was funny when her boyfriend showed up and counted the money. Whether it's the 1960s or today, people still have that basic mistrust in them of others. It's a dog eat dog world and the advertising business best exemplifies this.
