http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/MAD-MEN----Shoot.aspx I think I have a hard time writing passionate reviews of MAD MEN, because like the characters on the show, my feelings about it are buried beneath the surface. I can’t rail against it passionately like LOST, or taunt it mercilessly like FOOTBALLERS WIVES. All I can do, is let it wash over me and at the end examine what’s left, like so much gold at the bottom of a sandy pan. (Oh if only this were DEADWOOD!) This week some interesting things happened, arcanely, as is the way with this show. People are always either surprisingly blunt, or politely mysterious. The parsing of motives is what makes the show some thing to chew over long after the episode is finished. This week the writers do something very interesting. Don is being lured away from Sterling Cooper by two big firms; McCann Erickson, and BBDO. They both over him various enticements, but he’s not sure. His boss and pal, Roger Sterling, catches a set of golf clubs meant for Don, and tell him he takes it personally. Roger (John Slattery) and Don (Jon Hamm) have great chemistry; I always find myself hoping they’ll stay together, no matter what. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/MAD-MEN----Shoot.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/MAD-MEN----Shoot.aspx#2418 well, i liked the title..... brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/09/14/MAD-MEN----Shoot.aspx#2418 Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:00:54 GMT
