"Mad Men" was my favorite dramatic series of the last decade, so excuse me if this review is biased. The series' last seven episodes end the series on a high note of equal parts melancholy and guarded hope for the future. Without giving too much away, the back half of Season 7 pays off everything set up in the season's first half, particularly how selling out to McCann affects the agency and how Don and Megan's marriage ends. Finally, we see Don pursue his own destiny in an finale that will be talked about (if not debated) for years by the show's fans. All major characters get at least one great last hurrah moment (esp Roger, Joan, Pete, Peggy and Stan) and as usual the show remains challenging but never less than fully engaging. And the period detail, as always, is spot on. There's an scene where Pete Campbell is watching the private eye series "Mannix" and damn if it's not the exact episode that actually aired the night the "Mad Men" episode is set. And the recent passing of David Bowie adds an extra poignancy to "Space Oddity" playing over the end credits of the third to last episode. Per most of the "Mad Men" home video releases (Season 6 being the exception) there are lots of extras including commentary on every episode. If you're a fan, this is required viewing.

Generally part 2 was ok. But the final episode (7of7) was disappointing! The producers spent to much time at a retreat with a women Drapper had hooked up with. Really had nothing to do with overall scope of Madmen.
