## Description

Review: Still excellent, even if it does not stand out as the best of the series - Season 5 is another stellar performance from the Mad Men franchise, with excellent acting from a strong cast, and fantastic writing, capturing everything down to the smallest detail. The show still does a splendid job of portraying the world of a 1960s Madison Avenue ad agency and the 60s American life more broadly, this time with LSD, Hare Krishna and the other novelties of the second half of the 60s. It continues to be incredibly well researched, with faultless attention to detail and is great at capturing the subtleties of life and work almost 50 years ago. Don Draper's character again gets more attention, with the new family life and the new marriage changing both his attitude to life and work in many ways, down to the fear of whether he still has what it's got. Pete on the other hand is trying as hard as possible to emulate the Don of earlier seasons, managing not wholly convincingly. The new characters introduced, namely Megan's parents, are an excellent addition, and her father is the source of one of the most memorable quotes of the season. Fans of Peggy may feel she has been somewhat short changed this season, as there is less attention lavished on her. The ratio between life in the office, at home and in 'extra-curricular activities' is still aptly chosen and issues are given adequate time and attention, so as not to fall flat but to be sufficiently multidimensional to actually contribute to the story. The professional aspect of work in an ad agency is interesting for two reasons - for how the realtionships have changed seismically in some aspects and how in others, shockingly litte progress has been made in the advertising field for over 4 decades. Sure enough, new media has entered the scene since but having worked in the field, many of the same approaches and methods are being 're-invented' year in, year out, with the industry on the whole largely standing still. On the other hand both the gender and race issues, that are showing the first harbingers of change in the series, are shocking to observe for someone growing generations later. I'd also applaud the show for not coming across as judgemental but showing a portrayal of the world and allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions. The DVD comes with a fairly eclectic selection of extras, from the famous quotes, to one on the music, and perhaps somewhat surprisingly, on the establishment of Summer Time. Even though habituation to the high quality of the series may make the latest season feel a bit less bombastically good, I still believe that this is the best TV show I have seen so far and can warmly recommend it!
Review: Stylish series with interesting plot - I was hooked to Mad Men from the very first episode. I like everything, from the great opening credits (that music, that falling man!) to the carefully reconstructed sets, to the slow pacing of the plot. But it is not just the perfection of the settings, the costumes, and the period music. It is also a show with a soul. And a much-needed break from either cops or the doctors shows. I also like the fact that it is an ensemble show, even if it often focus on Don Draper. All the characters are flawed and very "human". It is easy to identify with them and with their daily struggle to find happiness or at least some satisfaction in a fast-changing society. This 5th series did not disappoint me. As the time frame is moving towards the end of the 60s, all the characters appear more confused and disoriented. The youth-quake is starting to have an influence on mainstream fashion (and behaviour). Therefore the female costumes for the show were carefully crafted to suit the swinging mood, but still very much fitting the different personalities (very short minis for young and carefree Megan, more conservative for Peggy and young Sally experimenting with grown-up outfits). Drugs are also making an appearance. The music of the young creates a gulf between them and their parents (watch Don listening to Revolver). Among these major changes in society we follow the personal development (or disintegration) of all the main characters. Even if Don Draper has a bad reputation for his womanising, I find him an intriguing character, with a soft and vulnerable side. His kindness shines through in the great episode The Other Woman. Pete is the usual despicable, creepy man, adding another layer to his creepiness. Peggy finally manages to stand on her own feet, after much struggle and humiliation. Joan has to face a difficult choice and Richard goes through some weird experience. I would definitely recommend Season 5 to all fans of the series and to anybody with a sense of style and an interest in human nature.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not the best season but still full of greatness
*by H***J on 21 March 2013*

Something unexpected happened when I started watching season 5. I found myself being bored. The first six episodes really didn't work for me and not having any idea whether it would get better I started thinking I'd just pretend MM ended with S4. But thankfully it is back to its old self from episode 7 onwards, so if you've yet to watch it don't give up on it. Hard to say why the first six don't work, but to me it seemed the observations and psychology regarding personal relationships was somewhat absent, along with any focus on campaigns being minimal. Another issue was that many characters just didn't seem to get quality air time, Betty, Peggy, Sally and Pete, even Don to an extent, and the rest of the agency barely made much of an appearance. But from episode 7 it was back on form, not coincidentally Sally features quite a bit in episode 7, Sally has always allowed for observation of the characters through a child's eyes and it's always compelling. So, episodes 7-13 would be 5 stars, but episodes 1-6 only 3, so an overall 4 stars. The final scene of the last episode is so good I had to watch it four times straight, pure class. Looking forward to S6.
