It was , I’ve heard Hamm and Weiner say it was in interviews, the show got a little weird the last season , got a little out there but I still loved it.Loved it. That coca cola commercial at the end is widely considered to be one of the greatest ads in history, so if you buy the interpretation that Don became enlightened, then you can conclude he came back to produce the greatest ad in history.
That ad also had huge social interpretations as well.
One thing that bugged me about the show was how they handled Peggy and Pete's baby. But I think that was design.
I actually really enjoyed the ad stuff ,the strategy and pitches. Don being an absolute mess fatigued me at times , his reckless behavior was nerve racking lol. By the middle end of the show you realized he was never going to change , total sociopath. But genius at the same time.
Show won four straight Emmys but gets slept on as a great , all time show.
I might go back for a third lap around the show , I loved it that much.
