We’ll never stop talking about the ending, the beginning, and everything in between, so you'd better hurry up and get on our level if you're not already by watching the series on Amazon Prime's free-with-ads IMDb TV channel. Mad Men asserted itself as the Great American Television Show by being hyper-specific-designed down to the desk stapler-and universally opaque. Pete breaks his life in two so that he can put it back together again.Īnd then there's Don Draper: well-meaning, self-destructive, creative genius Don Draper, who dreams big and falls hard over and over and over again. Peggy discovers that true independence isn't as clean-cut as she thinks.

The series spans many eras as we travel throughout time: the '60s change the people around Don, and the second half of the final season, set in 1970, is momentous. Matthew Weiner knew where it was all going from the start-and the AMC show's creator even warned us in the third-season premiere, via a Don Draper line to Roger Sterling: 'I keep going to a lot of places and ending up somewhere I've already been.'

From Louise Bourgeois references to episodes devoted to fourth-wall-breaking flashbacks, I Love Dick does everything it can to pierce the esoteric-yet-essential idea of art and its inseparable companion: sex. The crass and poetic collide as she pieces it back together, giving Soloway, along with playwright Sarah Gubbins, the opportunity to throw convention out the window. His aura turns the community into a hotbed of intelligentsia and psycho-sexuality, which cracks Chris's world in half.

Based on Chris Kraus's 1997 art-world-dominating memoir of the same name, the show stars Kathryn Hahn ( Bad Moms) as Chris, a failing New York City filmmaker who follows her writer husband, Sylvère (Griffin Dunne), to Marfa, Texas, where he's earned a research fellowship academic sensation Dick (Kevin Bacon).

Transparent creator Jill Soloway's second Amazon series is like screen-printed Warhol take on the fire emoji: syncopated, artful, and satisfyingly vicious.
