Without a doubt Weiner and the crew were hitting plenty of home runs during season five. Fundamentally, Mad Men is not an ordinary show. It is superbly executed and, due to the nuances and the craftsmanship of Weiner and the crew, it has true replayability.

It exposes the differing pressures men and women face daily due to their gender in the 60s and illustrates the difficulty the older generation faced in adapting to a seemingly youthful and volatile society The structure of the show proves to be another part of its subtle brilliance.
When I first watched Mad Men I was astonished at how I was able to root for a character who originally came across as self-important, privileged and unproven Mad Men is littered with stunning episodes.
Whether it's constant phone calls from the various people in his life or Sally Draper running away from Betty and heading to his office, Don isn't great at keeping his work life and personal life separate, to say the least. This type of drama isn't ideal for Don in the working environment. The other characters never seem to have this many issues at work, and the constant interruption isn't conducive to great work. While his methods might not always make others happy, there's no denying Don Draper has the ability to bring the best out in other people.
Keeping Peggy Olson at work throughout her birthday and making her miss a meal doesn't make him a nice person, the fact she goes on to be so successful proves his methods do work. Don is great at pushing his staff to their absolute limit in order to bring out the best work possible. This is something that he does better than others in the company, and while he sometimes relies on their ideas, it proves he wants to bring the company forward. Don Draper is in a position of power throughout his career in Mad Men , allowing him to be partner, but that doesn't mean he is necessarily trustworthy.
Don is quite an impulsive person who makes rash decisions that can impact the entire company. The decision to publicly write about quitting tobacco or deciding to partner up with Ted is all done without consenting the other people he works with and comes at a big risk.
Sometimes these risks pay off and other times, they don't, but it's more the lack of trust that causes problems. The main reason why Don Draper is considered to be fantastic at his job is because of his pitching ability. There is nobody else in the series that comes anywhere near Don in terms of his skill, because of his confidence and clarity when delivering his pitches. Don is a masterful storyteller and he does a great job at selling people his ideas in order to gain the company as much business as possible.
While his job is in creating great ideas, without a good pitch, these ideas mean nothing, and this is Don's battlefield, with the famous Kodak carousel pitch being a great example of what he can do. On Mad Men , explanatory speeches and dream sequences tend to muddy motivation rather than clarify it. Why did Don suddenly propose to his young secretary, Megan, following a trip to California with his kids?
Or maybe Don proposed because it seemed like a good idea at the time. Was it just residual heat from the near-death experience of being mugged, or was a deeper wish being expressed? She treats him as, alternately, a father figure, a brother, and an overgrown child. What do they mean to each other? It observes.
