The Mad Men series finale, “Person to Person,” (season 7, episode 14) is reviewed. It’s the last episode EVER, but did Mad Men’s final episode satisfy? The episode gives the air that the characters continue to live their lives in a way that doesn’t shock or take a twist, but would it have been better if the episode shot off in a different direction altogether? Many have speculated about Don Draper and where the end of Mad Men would take him, and his ending shows that his arch wasn’t toward irrelevance, but actually the opposite. How did the ending play out vs. Don and Betty’s final conversation? Did Don grown, or is he the same man from the pilot?
