This season takes place between Memorial Day 1966 and Spring 1967. The season focuses on Don Draper and Megan's relationship and how distracting it is from his job, and most of the main characters are facing painful new beginnings and realize it's a "dog-eat-dog" world. The season starts out light (probably because of how dark season 4 was), but by the end of the season things are gloomier than ever. So never fear, Mad Men isn't going soft.
Don - one reason I enjoyed season 4 so much is that we had a break from Don being in a dramatic, serious relationship. He was just casually dating and we were able to see more of SCDP. Now he's married to Megan, and that opens up a lot more storylines. You'll either love or hate Megan. She shows signs of being very independent and mature, but then will surprise you by suddenly doing something very stupid and childish. The big question is: how long is it until Don cheats on her? I don't believe that Don will be in a monogamous relationship for the rest of his life. It's also interesting how it's reminiscent of the beginning of his relationship with Betty. Betty was a beautiful young model and Don swept her up. When Betty got older and he got bored, he lost interest. Megan is also a very young girl, an actress, and pretty (in Don's eyes). What's going to happen to his fidelity to Megan in a couple years? Or 10? Or even by the end of the season? When Don loses respect for someone, a lot of feelings for them deteriorate quickly.
Don also has to deal with Megan's Canadian parents, who have a very bizarre marriage and her father is not a total believer in Don. He thinks Megan took the easy way out by marrying a rich guy. Megan's mother is also incredibly insecure, which is a recurring theme throughout the season.
Betty - since January Jones is pregnant, they decided to put her in a fat suit to hide it, and turn that into a storyline. Perfect Betty has to deal with being overweight, which makes for some interesting television. Her appearances are very sparse, however, and you can go episodes without seeing her at all. There is a lot of pressure on Betty to compete with Megan, especially when her children are involved. As far as Sally goes, she goes through a lot of childhood development this season. Glen the creepy kid also makes a couple appearances, and their relationship is really open for interpretation. Kiernan Shipka is also a great young actress. We also get to see Henry Francis' mother a little bit, especially when she babysits Sally.
Pete - Pete is...well, Pete. But cockier than ever. He feels that all is owed to him, even as only a junior partner. He gets incredibly demanding this season and enters into some interesting affairs. Pete is honestly one of the most difficult characters for me to empathize with, especially this season. Almost every thing he does is just obnoxious, not to mention he is a total hypocrite. Vincent Kartheiser is great, however.
Peggy - as my favorite character, I liked what they did with her this season. She has to balance romance and work in a very sexist society, and makes some life changing decisions several times throughout the season. I love how strong Peggy is, and in these days she would easily be a partner already. Peggy also is Megan's boss...which is really quite inappropriate and causes a lot of awkwardness in the office.
Joan - remember that jerk she's married to? Yeah. They're still married when the season starts, unfortunately. Joan is strong though, and without spoiling anything, she makes some very questionable and life altering decisions this season regarding her romantic and work life. I think her and Peggy learn the most this season about how when it boils down to it, it's every wo/man for themselves.
Lane - bitter about not getting the greatest deal out of this partnership, Lane makes some...questionable business decisions this season. He becomes much more prevalent later in the season, and without spoiling much, he gets into a very....entertaining "discussion" with Pete. I think Jared Harris is amazing for this role.
Roger - talked into taking LSD with Jane, Roger has a very memorable and insightful trip. Although the acid trip was a little stereotypical, there's nothing funnier than watching Roger doing acid. The trip also has longer implications for him in the season. Additionally, Roger enters into a very odd romantic relationship with an unexpected character.
And it's not just the characters that will suck you in and keep you watching. The context of show is amazingly interesting. We get to see references to the Richard Speck murders, Charles Witman's shooting rampage, toxic clouds of smog over NYC, the Hare Krishnas, and the Rolling Stones. Also some interesting clients this season: Heinz, Jaguar, Mohawk Airlines, American Cancer Society, Manischewitz, Dow Chemical, and Virginia Slims.
You could watch this show for the amazingly intricate characters, the interesting portrayal of life in the 60s, or both. This show is highly entertaining, addictive, and one of the best on television today.
Don starts this fifth year of the show on his 40th birthday where his 26 year old wife (Jessica Pare’ who’s as pretty as the former Mrs. Draper and expresses far greater warmth) throws him a surprise party (which he loathes) and performs a seductive song and dance routine for him and the crowd (Google it, she does a nice job). He seems to be happier than we’ve ever seen him, not drinking as much, and amazingly not indulging in the serial infidelity for which he’s become famous. Picking up the slack in that arena is Pete Campbell; always a bit of a jerk he’s bringing his “A”-game to work but his personal life is not satisfying him. Trudy’s made him leave NYC for the Connecticut suburbs so their new baby can grow up in the fresh air and Pete hates it. He has an unexpected encounter with the wife of a fellow commuter from the train (played by Alexis Bledel of “Gilmore Girls” fame who in mid 60’s wardrobe and coif looks like a young Jackie Kennedy) and tries to put the moves on an 18 year old in his driver’s ed class. Lane Pryce faces his own personal troubles of a financial nature and makes a very poor decision that will have serious ramifications for him.
As usual, the attention to detail in set dressing and wardrobe is incredible. If you were in your youth back then you will recognize so many things from that time which will have you waxing nostalgic. For example, Howard Johnson’s is a client so Don and Megan pay a visit which gets Don excited about eating orange sherbet. Ho-Jo’s were ubiquitous back then with their famous orange roofs and today there’s only one restaurant left operating, so sad. Watching Pete on the train seeing the Long Island Rail Road logo in the car brought back memories growing up just a few stops away from his in Cos Cob home. Don’s pitch of the Jaguar campaign really connected with me; he describes testing the iconic XKE Jag and passing a 10 year old boy staring at the car as he passes by. I had that same experience and can remember seeing an E-Type Jag for the first time, it started a lifelong interest in automobiles for me.
Some fellow reviewers didn’t like this season and didn’t think much happened which is surprising. There was lots of character development and we got to know more about almost every key player at SCDP. Also some dislike Ms. Pare’ and don’t think she’s attractive or find the role of Megan annoying but to me she was a welcome change from the frosty, detached Betty (January Jones). Jon Hamm and Elizabeth Mos are just excellent and keep getting better in these parts. John Slattery plays Roger as such a lovable rogue you can’t help but like him. Vincent Kartheiser tackles the challenge of playing Pete Campbell and takes an insufferable butthead and manages to make him engaging (you’ll still enjoy the thrashing he gets not once, but twice). And finally, Christina Hendricks as Joan has evolved into a complex character who can get by on her looks but has plenty of brains and isn’t afraid to use them. I’m looking forward to seeing where these terrific actors takes us in Season 6.

It continues to be incredibly well researched, with faultless attention to detail and is great at capturing the subtleties of life and work almost 50 years ago.
Don Draper's character again gets more attention, with the new family life and the new marriage changing both his attitude to life and work in many ways, down to the fear of whether he still has what it's got.
Pete on the other hand is trying as hard as possible to emulate the Don of earlier seasons, managing not wholly convincingly. The new characters introduced, namely Megan's parents, are an excellent addition, and her father is the source of one of the most memorable quotes of the season. Fans of Peggy may feel she has been somewhat short changed this season, as there is less attention lavished on her.
The ratio between life in the office, at home and in 'extra-curricular activities' is still aptly chosen and issues are given adequate time and attention, so as not to fall flat but to be sufficiently multidimensional to actually contribute to the story.
The professional aspect of work in an ad agency is interesting for two reasons - for how the realtionships have changed seismically in some aspects and how in others, shockingly litte progress has been made in the advertising field for over 4 decades. Sure enough, new media has entered the scene since but having worked in the field, many of the same approaches and methods are being 're-invented' year in, year out, with the industry on the whole largely standing still.
On the other hand both the gender and race issues, that are showing the first harbingers of change in the series, are shocking to observe for someone growing generations later. I'd also applaud the show for not coming across as judgemental but showing a portrayal of the world and allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions.
The DVD comes with a fairly eclectic selection of extras, from the famous quotes, to one on the music, and perhaps somewhat surprisingly, on the establishment of Summer Time.
Even though habituation to the high quality of the series may make the latest season feel a bit less bombastically good, I still believe that this is the best TV show I have seen so far and can warmly recommend it!
