Yea, I really ended up hating Peggy.


Although I think Moss is a decent enough actress, the show failed with her character, hitting us over the head with the glass ceiling/misogynistic environment. Certainly it is fair to describe that era as such, but with so much nuance in Don, Roger, even Pete and Joan (who were more 2-dimensional) had some nuance.

The attempts to do that with Peggy just always seemed to fall flat.

Btw, for anyone interested in purchasing the box set on Blu-ray, they never fixed the packaging or the indexing issues from the original release. Skip it.

Buy it one season at a time if you choose to go with the tangible route as opposed to streaming.
