This series, on the other hand, has returned for its latest series as compelling and unpredictable as ever. Who would have thought, after we didn’t see January Jones’ Betty Draper at all in the season premiere, that she’d dominate last week’s episode so heavily? (And, in part, I mean that literally.) Mad Men prides itself in going in all sorts of unexpected directions, yet maintains an air of consistent surprise. Tonight, for example, Jon Hamm’s Don Draper is caught in an elevator in a compromising position – but is he going up? Or going down?
