Watching Mad Men for the first time (Spoilers)


Television


So after a long time I picked up Man Men to watch. I do know how things end since I have read spoilers but still watch for the experience.

Don is a special person and the second season really ramps it up, especially S2E3 where he sexually assaults a woman.

The problem here is that the show makes him look awesome and supports him. He...

1.Cheats on Betty constantly (As well as on his mistresses!)
2.Smokes like a chimney and guzzles booze by the quart.
3.Abusive

Yet he is the 'hero' and ends up at peace with the whole Coke song playing.

Betty.

1.Contemplates cheating.
2.Smokes like a chimney and no doubt drinks
3.Abusive

She ends up dying of lung cancer.

I really feel the creators missed something here by not having a clear 'Do not be like Don' sign over him.
