Netflix has added the final episodes of Mad Men to its streaming service today.
This release comes on the heels of a Golden Globe win and an Emmy win for lead actor Jon Hamm, who had been previously nominated for the latter for his role as Don Draper seven times, every year between 2008 and 2014. Similarly, the Screen Actors Guild has nominated Mr Hamm for Outstanding Performance by a Maler Actor in a Drama Series, a category in which he was nominated and lost every year between 2007 and 2012.
Matthew Weiner, a former Sopranos writer, did the Mad Men pilot screenplay on spec in 2000, but the idea was tabled for several years after HBO and Showtime both passed. It was only when AMC was looking to make an entrance into original programming that they, as AMC Networks President Ed Carroll puts it, “took a bet that quality would win out over formulaic mass appeal.â€
All ninety-two episodes of AMC’s Mad Men are streaming now.
