shittiest "acclaimed" series ever that only fedoras watch
>>70801498
Matthew Weiner's creative control over every aspect of this series is unrivaled. Historical accuracy, design, etc. Amazing.

The only argument he lost I can think of was the decision to switch from 35mm to digital. He was really against it, but fucking AMC wanted to cut production costs wherever they could.

interesting, i was lucky enough to attend a panel last year w. him and the cast and he talked of how The Suitcase was created quickly out of need for a bottle episode re: financial constraints. Lemons to lemonade.
>>70802719
I think switching to digital added to the atmosphere, like its clearly different from the earlier seasons. The 60's ending and more bright 70's on the horizon also times are changing and Don is getting old. It reminds me of The Sopranos Season 5-6 where everything goes bleak and sepia like.

I think Weiner made the best out of every constraint and complication, like in the example of The Suitcase which that anon pointed out.
I'm an autist when it comes to film, but the different look of digital was surprisingly well-integrated in the show and contributed to the shift from the early part of the decade to the late part. Film could have done this too, in my opinion, but to a different degree. Regardless, it all worked out for the best.

Jesus, the 70s looked terrible.

The end of that episode feels like a deflated bag, the first half with Pete is great then it ends like a wet sock
:_;

Happy endings for everyone except Betty
>>70803308
Which season is this extra from?
>>70803313
Honestly? Good. Fucking fine. I sympathized with her for the first season or so but then she quickly became trash. TRASH.
>>70803308
too bad the song came out a year after the plane crash on the show
>>70803575
Cry about it, you little bitch.
>>70803575
it came out in 1961 in japan.
I regret spending so much time watching this 5/10 series
