Have you ever noticed that in almost every episode, they plant some little moment that makes you realize that it was a different time? I'm not talking about the clothes or set decoration.
Little stuff. Peggy is having a phone conversation but has to pick up the phone and carry it across the room because it almost slid off the table because the cord was too short. That seems like nothing but I definitely noticed it.
Remember when Betty Draper was sitting around with a bunch of women smoking? While pregnant?
Every time they pour hard liquor drinks during a meeting I'm reminded about the era.
If you think they dropped the ball, then you're not really paying attention.
