I am watching it and hanging on every word of incredible writing and masterful acting. I only am sad that this is the FINAL half-season. Don's continued sexual exploits have little to do with the show, other than that they accurately portray the era and how an aging 2 time divorcee man deals with his feelings. Instead, I was amazed by Meagan's comments on don's aging, his attempt to buy himself peace with her, the reaction of Don in Diana's apartment, Peggy's best acting to date standing over a photo machine and realizing her own issues with being a feminist and an "Don" type of advertiser. This show makes me want to embrace all of humanity, yet hate everyone at the same time. I hope it never ends, but am happy for the next 5 times I get to feel these feelings.
