While the character of Don takes up much of the discourse surrounding the series, there are moments where Pete Campbell (played by Kartheiser) and Peggy Olson (played by Moss) force themselves into the protagonist spotlight thanks to the depth and complexity of their characters.
Well written, great cast, beautiful set design and fashion, sorrowful and humorous – perfect to watch during dark winter nights.
