I've finished my first rewatch since the original broadcast and still love this show.

Is there an in-universe explanation for Don not stinking of sex when he goes back to the office or home for dinner? I can't count the number of scenes where he jumps out of bed and into his suit. Maybe everyone sweated constantly in 1950's New York?

Parts of the score were much heavier handed than I remember. In season 6, I'm sure the music was quite dramatic when Sally caught Don cheating because the scene - with Don's arse waggling about - could have easily come across as funny otherwise. In season 7, they had to go over the top to make Don - who had just received his 'You're fired!' letter - walking around the office and looking for people seem exciting.

Anyway, Pete was still a poo poo but I felt a lot more sympathy for him this time around and was less impressed with Don in the earlier seasons, which I think was both a mix of knowing where the characters end up and also having entered the working world since I first saw it, where anyone who presents themselves as an immaculate person or professional is invariably full of poo poo.
