Nothing is as sexy. Nothing is as provocative. Nothing is as it seems. Everything about Mad Men is stylish, even when it's all falling apart. And in season 3 of this Emmy-winning drama, many things fall apart--marriages, childhood, even the ad agency itself--but the unspoolings play out delicately and tragically, making for utterly compelling television.
Don Draper Jon Hamm appears to dedicate himself to being a devoted family man, with the impending birth of his third child with Betty January Jones , but the premiere episode, "Out of Town," has him right back to his philandering ways. While the Drapers do enjoy a romantic interlude during a business trip to Italy that makes you wish those darn kids could just work it out, the writing's on the wall that this marriage is sputtering out.
Adding to the complication is Betty's discovery of Don's identity-switching past, her own dalliance with a politician, and their oldest child Sally's growing petulance as she observes her world crumbling around her 9-year-old Kiernan Shipka is a revelation. Meanwhile, the Brits infiltrate Sterling Cooper after a merger, leaving Pete Vincent Kartheiser and Ken Aaron Staton competing for the same job; Conrad Hilton Chelcie Ross brings in his business and his idiosyncrasies; the closeted Sal Bryan Batt nearly gets pushed out of the closet by some compromising situations; Peggy Elisabeth Moss asserts herself in the workplace and experiments with loosening her collar this includes a surprising fling ; and Joan Christina Hendricks, arguably the sexiest woman on television finally leaves the agency to be a housewife, only to find herself looking for work when her doctor husband comes up short in the promotion department.
As usual, the comic relief lies in the reliable hands of the razor-sharp John Slattery as agency partner Roger Sterling, whose marriage to the much-younger former secretary of Don's drives tension between the once-chummy colleagues.
