Wow. What the hell has happened to this show? Did they change writers/showrunners? This season is screamingly pathetic. People smoking chronic, Joanie singing. Uggghhh. Seriously Mad Men?! No cohesiveness or direction in the story = FAIL
Haven't seen episode 3 yet, but I really enjoyed the first two. Mad Men seasons always seem to meander at first, then become focused as the characters find their arcs. In retrospect, it seems pretty seamless, so it's easy to forget how widely the creative team explores their world. And yes, it's the same creative team.
