Mad Men (2015) – Season 7 “Person to Person”

The series finale of Mad Men didn’t end with a bang; it ended with a serene “Om” as Don Draper, in a seated yoga pose, reaches a new plateau of enlightenment.

Mad Men (2015) – Season 7 “Severance”

Warning: The following review contains spoilers! The second half of the final season of Mad Men has been billed as “The End of an Era.” The show’s eight year run and the end of the 1960s certainly feels like the times (they) are a-changin’.
