Mad Men Season 5 is not comfort viewing. It is a punch to the gut. It asks the question we all dread: What happens when you get everything you wanted?

If you’ve only watched Mad Men once, go back. Watch Season 5 again. Notice the cracks in the walls. Listen to the silence between the words. And try not to flinch when the elevator doors close. Mad Men - Season 5
