You should see him in The Nice Guys. Bruh got his s*** off in that one. He was good in The Big Sick too.

BD32The setting and backdrop of the 60s in Mad Men is misdirection on the part of Weiner. That much is clear by once you get into the early episodes of season 2. Rather than functioning as an exploratory work into that time period, Mad Men uses that decade of rapid change to symbolize the lack of control the main characters have while in the midst of their identity crises, despite their own perception of stability in their quiet suffering.
Here's a series that brushes over several landmark events with stray dialogue here and loose radio clippings there in an attempt to convey their own message, and it's why an episode like The Flood, portraying MLK's assassination through the lens of upper class white people is extremely disingenuous.
It fits in the landscape of Mad Men because they had spun a meticulous web that ensured it wouldn't look out of place, but what purpose does it actually serve other than Weiner beating his chest that he's a good showrunner?
And it's funny because Mad Men actually highlights racial tension/race issues in the first minute of the series and sporadically returns to it with the elevator scenes, Y&R waterbagging etc. And there's Dawn, a character with a lot of potential that goes absolutely nowhere from the beginning of season 5 all the way to The Flood because of Weiner. It's an episode that should've been an obvious climax of sorts like JFK but fizzles out into nothing because they were tending to other roads they had already been on.
That episode to me symbolizes how Mad Men had started to lose their way in season 5 and became an excruciating watch for a lot of season 6. It's my favourite show of all time, but it's an arrogant, flawed series especially when it comes to representation.
This is extremely nitpicky. The whole show is about upper class white men, it’s the only lens it offers. And even in this small slice of the population the show still manages to speak volumes about people’s attitudes towards racial issues at the time
You’re just gonna ignore Pete being openly disgusted with Harry? The dynamic there represents most of the characters in the office. Pete was always the one progressive guy and he was true to his characteryes there is a point to be made about racial diversity in mad men. But at the end of the day it’s a show about rich white men. And it is still incredibly nuanced on its dissection of human nature
Season 5 and 6 are brilliant. The show never fell off

I love Mad Men but you can't actually think that it does well in how it deals with the humongous elephant in the room that is racism in the 60s by wealthy white Americans.

For a show as meticulously designed as Mad Men, broad criticisms don't apply. You also can't complain about half-baked opinions and then say that my take is too specific.
And the show isn't about rich white dudes. It's about self-identity: "What I want versus what's expected of me" as Faye Miller made it abundantly clear in season 4, otherwise the inner-workings of the advertising business wouldn't be featured in the show at all
Rich white dudes are one of the preferred mediums of the show's message but the most intriguing character developments towards the end of the show are Peggy, Sally and Joan's so it's a stretch to even make a general statement like yours.
The Flood is Mad Men at its worst. Yes, compared to an average show, seasons 5 and 6 of MM are still vastly superior but it loses much of its charm and meaningfulness here.
