It took me 3 tries to get into this show but now that I did i think its great.

Don is such an enigma....he is a great character and a complete POS.
.

2 things bug me....

1. Why is pete campbell the only one that is showing age with his receding hairline?

2. Why is Sylvia and Dr. Rosens apartment that is a floor above dons so much shittier?

He was the only one willing to shave it that way

I started my first episode last week. Finally decided to see what the hype was all about.

Don starts to show subtle signs of decay as his collapse continues in the later seasons. He never had a hair out of place in the first season but after marrying Megan hes just sloppy looking at times.

Rosen makes several comments about how Don is rich while he isnt.. Plus the insinuation is that Megan designed it

I thought he was great as the youngest version of Glenn.. little weirdo with no parents who collects blonde hair

Older versions of him were not great

I won’t spoil it, but there comes a point where Don does some things that you know are completely despicable yet I found myself mad at the characters for finding out instead of at Don for doing it. Which is incredible writing and acting.

Also, Don is way better at his job than anyone else at the firm. Fight me.

One of my takeaways was that there were very few good people

I don’t think that’s a hot take.

Also, the only person on the show that was ever a threat to Don in terms of talent was Ginsberg

Men go bald at different times. This isn’t some glaring plot hole. The show only only covers a few years of time.

How did Elisabeth Moss convince hollywood that she is some siren that all men are attracted to?

This show and Handmaids Tale, guys are fawning over her, ruining their families, commitng treason....for a mid AF chick with a bird face.

Last season of Handmaids Tale she looked like a linebacker...Specifically Jack Ham...with all her teeth/.

Never thought she was pulling crazy high end guys in MM. the biggest pull she had was probably Pete and it was early season 1 when he was about to get married and was likely just reaching out for the nearest girl he could.

Notice it basically never comes up again after like the 1-2 times they bang. Unless I’m misremembering most of her guys after that are just regular schmucks right?

She’s the perfect character for a go getter who blasts through the barriers set up in episode 1. I think she’s supposed to be specifically not super attractive and more just average.
