Second Season of MAD MEN

MmM

Here's in my experience how good the characters are at handling their situations. By "good" I mean both heart and brain. The ways they behave ethically I try to give as much weight as the ways the characters feels charismatic. Sympathic actions and impressive attractiveness is included in the same estimation. This is not about how well-played the characters are (everyone is well-played) - this is about the characters.

After each episode I give twelve actual characters points from 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2 to -1, -3, -5, -7, -9, -11. Some (mostly the MAIN CHARACTERS) are going up and down like an elevator, probably in line with the intentions of the manuscript. While others (mostly the minor roles) have less dramatically established a stable position. Since their personal problems and developement are shown in different proportions, this list of course can't be a completely fair portrait (if any interpretations of people ever is).
