'Mad Men' Recap: Homesick
Posted in: Uncategorized
What will I miss most about “Mad Men?”
The fact that each and every episode felt like it was taking a stab at perfection and every once in a while it succeeded.
One of those times is “Lost Horizon,” the show’s third-to-last episode and an exquisitely-crafted, devastating, hilarious, tear-jerking 47 minutes of TV up there with the best ever. “Lost Horizon” might be to “Mad Men” what “Ozymandias” was to “Breaking Bad,” a late episode so good not even the finale could surpass it. But in a way Matt Weiner goes one better by doing what he does without any of the trappings of Great TV Moments — deaths, births or weddings — but through the continuing transformations of characters we’ve come to know and love over seven seasons.
