As a Black woman revisiting the series, I already knew that the immersive world-building of a 1960s ad agency — constructed using sharp scripting, artful acting, attentively accurate wardrobe and set design — would only be punctuated by characters who look like me. But the show’s objectification of its Black characters punctures the integrity of otherwise meticulous writing. It left me all too aware of how “Mad Men” — set during the prime of the American civil rights movement and whose run ended as Black Lives Matter was emerging — opts for the easy way out with regard to race.
