Dawn vs. Don: Mad Men’s Missed Opportunities
Manage episode 109456341 series 78970
Peggy finally talks about the baby she gave up for adoption, and the team gets back together for one last pitch to save their agency.
It was an episode people have been waiting for a long time, so what else do we expect? Mad Men has taken a lot of knocks for being - perhaps unrealistically - lily white in its depiction of the 1960s. Host Ellen Horne talks about the show's blind spots when it comes to race with Ericka Blount Danois, a writer who's tackled the topic for Ebony, and Gilbert Cruz, TV Editor for The New York Times, who says the show might not have gotten it as wrong as we think.
