Monday Morning Mad Men Blogging: The Jet Set
Seriously, aren't the writers getting bored with Don? I am. It's all the random sex. It's becoming formulaic and lazy. I think the show gets lazy with the sexism as well, veering from historical representation and illumination to just wallowing in it because the writers and producers can get away with it. And no one really questions it, I think, because the art direction on the show is so damn good. Contrast Mad Men with Deadwood, for example, on how to get crass but still remain true to the context and not to appear to exploit it.
