Show of the week: Mad Men
The end nears.
The end nears. As Mad Men enters its so-called final season, the 1960s are drawing to a close and women are in control. With Don Draper (Jon Hamm) on indefinite leave from his Manhattan ad agency, Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) has continued her career ascent by moving into Don’s office. Don’s second wife, meanwhile, gets to decide if he’s worth forgiving.

Sunday, April 13, at 10 p.m., AMC
