¿Sabías que...?
- CuriosidadesWhen Don is approached about Hershey being a potential client, Don is puzzled at first and says Hershey doesn't advertise. This statement is true - until 1968, Hershey did not advertise. Founder Milton S Hershey thought the product was good enough on its own. It has been said that if he saw a discarded Hershey wrapper lying on the ground, he would rearrange it so that the label faced up.
- PifiasThe skyline behind Peter's desk while he's on the phone clearly shows the Pan-Am building just a couple blocks away as if the office were still on Madison Ave. The Time Life building is not that close to the Pan-Am building.
- Citas
Don Draper: I was an orphan. I grew up in Pennsylvania in a whorehouse. I read about Milton Hershey and his school in Coronet magazine or some other crap the girls left by the toilet. And I read that some orphans had a different life there. I could picture it. I dreamt of it, of being wanted, because the woman who was forced to raise me would look at me every day like she hoped I would disappear. Closest I got to feeling wanted was from a girl who made me go through her john's pockets while they screwed. If I collected more than a dollar, she'd buy me a Hershey bar. And I would eat it alone in my room with great ceremony, feeling like a normal kid. It said "sweet" on the package. It was the only sweet thing in my life.

Fundamentally the sixth season is a good one; we have a lot going on with the characters and the central theme is one of Draper's life continuing an accelerating downward spiral. The world is changing and we see him tire of his own cycles, lies and flaws, while also seeing others starting to see him for who he is rather than who he says he is. Across the whole season a lot of things go on with many other characters but Draper is and was the core of the show and season. The reason I say it was fundamentally good is that it is not a season where everything works perfectly. There are a lot of plot lines that are not quite as strong as others and too often I felt like time was being filled by the use of the characters and their situations, rather than really working to draw me in for narrative reasons. Likewise, while I like the direction of Draper in the season, it does feel like a lot is treading water at times. Ironically then, it is also the case that a lot happens quickly – the merger happens really quickly and feels like it happened to create drama rather than being something that would really have happened in this way; meanwhile Draper's self-realisation, while understandably brought on abruptly by events, seems to have been reached and accepted a lot quicker than it should have been.
Such things do not affect the show so that it doesn't work, but it was noticeably less compelling than previous seasons and I thought that key narrative pillars were perhaps not as strong or as well constructed either – even if the broad strokes of it all worked as before. The cast continue to be very strong, with good performances across the board and quite a few really memorable turns at key moments. Generally speaking the strengths of the show outweigh the weaknesses, although it is hard to see this sixth season in the same class as some of the previous. Hopefully they can tighten up somewhat heading into the final season and close out with a high standard.
