Why the last episode ruined Mad Men for me!!!
I must have been 14 or 15 and my family was pretty poor, we couldn’t afford the luxury of cable or streaming sites so let’s just I FOUND a way to watch the whole series online. Anyways, I’m finally watching the last episode and it ended with Don giving his car away. I was floored to say the least. It felt like he was letting go of Don Draper and starting over again with nothing. It made an impression on that young man watching that I think was for the better.
Years go by.
I’m with my partner and we love to binge watch shows, she’s never see Mad Men so we decide that it’ll be the next one up after we finish GOT or maybe The Sopranos, I can’t remember. We get through the whole series, we watch the finale where I keep glancing over at my girl to see her reaction of Don starting over again. Credits roll, we’re about to get into a deep post episode discussion when at the bottom right of the screen a little rectangle shows up with the word “Next Episode”

I died a little on the inside that day. 😂😂😂
