New York — Breaking up is hard to do. That is, unless you're "Mad Men," which this season has been free-and-easy in its fragmentation.
By now Peggy Olson and her radical beau are splitsville. So are Pete Campbell and wife Trudy, who caught him philandering one too many times.
Twice-wed Roger Sterling, currently solo, saw his knotty relationship with his mom torn asunder with her death this season, and he's alienated from his daughter and grandson.
And don't forget the latest romantic entanglement of Don Draper, whose marriage to winsome Megan seemed on suicide watch as, every chance he got, he scorched the sheets with downstairs neighbor Sylvia (wife of Don's presumed friend Dr. Arnold Rosen).
The only notable coming-together: the stormy merger of Sterling, Cooper, Draper and Pryce with former rival ad agency Cutler, Gleason and Chaough, which has assembled a bickering band of ad execs only slightly more collegial than either house of Congress.

Mad Men is not a violent show. Or at least, it’s not physically violent. Most of the great modern TV dramas favor protagonists engaged in violent behavior, with major characters frequently killed off: Think of Breaking Bad or Sons of Anarchy or Homeland, or incredibly popular bloodfests Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead. Mad Men is different. Nobody holds a gun. Nobody breaks the law. The show’s transgressions are mostly mental or emotional: Cuckoldry, thwarted ambition, the encroaching sensation that one is all alone in the universe.
Nevertheless, the show has a history of killing off characters.

All right, can I just say that, as much as I love this show and as strongly as I believe in the notion that characters don’t have to be likable to be interesting, there are still times when I fantasize about Don and Pete and maybe five other major characters lining up like dominos and dropping into that defective elevator shaft from season five? Don and Pete’s selfishness dominated “Collaborators,” which was written by Jonathan Igla and Matthew Weiner and directed by Jon Hamm. And oh, what swine they were.Don continued his affair with Sylvia; because she lives one floor below him and her husband, Arnold Rosen, seems (at this moment in the season, anyhow) like a mensch, there’s an acquisitive undertone to the affair. It’s very Ten Commandments: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife. Is Don trying to be Sylvia? My colleague...

Review Frances Roberts 8 Apr 2013 - 18:30
Mad Men returns with a packed multi-stranded two-hour opener brimming with quotable dialogue and existential angst...
This review contains spoilers.
1.1 & 1.2 The Doorway
After waiting ten months to hear Don Draper speak, Matthew Weiner made us hang on a little longer. Eight and a half minutes longer, to be precise, during which time Jon Hamm frowned, smiled, chastised, got high, and drank, but said not a word. While Draper wasn’t talking, director Scott Hornbacher’s camera was saying plenty, mostly about Jessica Paré, and with an overriding take-home message of ‘humina humina’. The now-bearded Stan wasn’t the only one excited about the idea of Megan zou bisou-ing around the beach in a bikini.
Don’s taciturnity continued throughout the two-hour opening episode, broken only to decry over-use of the word “love” in ad-land (let’s hope he never lives to see that McDonalds...

Now that the pitch perfect "Mad Men" Season 6 premiere has aired, so many questions have been answered.
No, Don hasn't been faithful to Megan. Yes, Peggy is kicking ass at her new job. No, the agency hasn't dropped any part of its Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce name. Yes, Betty is still trying to "reduce."
But so many other questions have been introduced.
Showrunner Matthew Weiner has commented that this season is about the last line Dr. Arnold Rosen (Brian Markinson) says to Don: "People will do anything to alleviate their anxiety." In the spirit of that cryptic theme, we're going to break down each episode to track the happiness of key characters over the course of the season.
The "Mad Men" happiness index, week one:
1) Megan: Everything appears to be working out for young Mrs. Draper. She was momentarily concerned that the soap opera she's featured on was minimizing her...
