Review of season two of Mad Men, which is very much a transitional year for the show.
Mad Men S3E13: “Meditations in an Emergency”
“Meditations in an Emergency” perfectly concludes a transitional season for Mad Men.
Mad Men S2E11: “The Jet Set”
“The Jet Set” takes Mad Men to California for a much needed breath of fresh air.
Mad Men S2E10: “The Inheritance”
The end of “The Inheritance” is the exact moment when Mad Men goes from good to great.
Mad Men S2E9: “Six Month Leave”
“Six Month Leave” gives a beloved background character a proper send-off.
Mad Men S2E8: “A Night to Remember”
January Jones’ acting ability can sometimes fall flat, as exemplified by her performance in “A Night to Remember.”
Mad Men S2E7: “The Gold Violin”
“The Gold Violin” has a lot to say about Don Draper, office dynamics and modern art.
Mad Men S2E6: “Maidenform”
“Maidenform” is another beautifully-crafted episode of Mad Men, despite being full of ugly emotions.
Mad Men S2E5: “The New Girl”
An unexpected plot twist leads to an unexpected flashback in Mad Men’s “The New Girl”
Mad Men S1E3: “The Benefactor”
“The Benefactor” is one of Mad Men’s funniest episodes, and also one of its best.
Mad Men S2E2: “Flight 1”
“Flight 1” is, even by Mad Men standards, another slow-moving episode.
Mad Men S2E1: “For Those Who Think Young”
The Mad Men season two premiere picks up 15 months after season one left off.
