Mad Men - Season 7 Episode 9: New Business

Eventually, his status at the firm becomes the focus of a bitter power struggle between Roger and Jim, both of whom want to take Sterling Cooper & Partners in radically different directions. The highly anticipated series conclusion will, for the last time, follow the complex lives of Don, Peggy, Roger, Joan, Betty and Pete as their stories come to an end. It's the End of an Era.

So far, Mad Men is going out with a sullen whimper.
April 13, 2015
After last week's densely packed and symbolically fraught midseason opener, tonight episode ("New Business") felt like a breath of fresh air - or maybe more like a wisp of a breeze, over almost before it started.
April 14, 2015
Yes, it's a bad episode of Mad Men, but it might be a necessary episode of Mad Men.
April 13, 2015
Mad Men offered a winning combination of film noir and French farce in its second episode of its final season Sunday night, as Don (Jon Hamm) ventured into another doomed affair - perhaps his last - and literally had the rug pulled from underneath him.

I loved the opening scene of "New Business," when Don was with the kids at Betty's place, making them milkshakes.
April 13, 2015
"New Business" was an often frustrating hour that again served as a sendoff to one of Don's major love interests.
April 13, 2015
Titled "New Business," this week's hour felt like an eruption of old, bad habits, choppily edited.
April 13, 2015
The craft of the show has been so strong... that I haven't been particularly bothered by Don's inability to grow. "New Business," though, was an episode so frustrating - and, with few exceptions, dull - that I could for once see that point of view.
April 13, 2015
No one can accuse Mad Men of subtlety.

Oh, Don. When are you going to learn that a new woman isn't the secret to happiness?
