...so I've watched just about all of Mad Men on Netflix [View all]

I'm up to where SCDP has lost Lucky Strike, and Joan is expecting Roger's baby.

Question: Will the show still be fun in the late 60s? Won't watching Don Draper during the "Summer of Love" be like watching someone shoot fish in a barrel?
