Mad Men Season 8: Plot
The plot of Mad Men series revolves around its main character Don Draper. He was initially working as a director in “Madison Avenue” and later became a founding team member of the advertising company. The last season of the series had several untold and unrevealed stories, which are left to be resolved with a new season. The show takes you inside the lives of people working in a reputed ad agency named Sterling Cooper.
Don Draper is known as the incredibly talented show protagonist, has stunning looks, and is coy. Don does justice to the roles of creative writer in an ad agency. The show strives to entertain both the characters’ professional and personal lives where Betty, Don’s wife, plays a significant role and is showcased as a mid-century typical homemaker.
The expected storyline and plot for season 8 is yet a question mark. But it’s most likely to start where it was left off. In the previous season, the episode ended with Don Draper’s medication at Hilltop. The last season ended with uncertain predictions and mysteries, which still need to be answered.
Some are like the cancer treatment of Megan, Roger, and Marie marrying, instances of its employees’ relationship. Also, when Draper receives an offer for a Coca-Cola advertisement in a peaceful area. All these remained doubtful to the audience and were left open on their imagination.
