7 seasons.
7 flawless seasons.
Im sorry wire but mad men just dethroned you.
I geniunely teared up twice in the finale.
Tuning into the start of a new season of mad men was like seeing a lifelong friend for the first time in a year. You instantly connected and felt you never left.
Even characters you didn't like you were happy to see do well. Because they weren't one dimensional plot devices. They were fully formed people with a million complexities. You felt their struggle and their pain.
The acting between hamm and jones for a simple line "birdie" was profound. They conveyed the entire life of their mistakes in their faces. It brought a tear to my eye because we the audience have been there with for everything.
Don finally breaking down his last wall as he listened to the invisible speech. Don, a man with the gift of speech, who could make an electronic device resonate with anyone emotionally. He could never articulate the emptiness he felt inside. Watching his head perk up during the mans speech was like one of his many clients reacting to his pitches. In that moment he knew he wasn't alone and he just let go of his pain. He cried and I cried too. Because 7 seasons with this man it was an emotional relief to see him not have an outburst at a momdnt of weakness, but truly let go.
10/10.
Goat show.
