The Second season premiere is a slight slow-burner, but at the same time contains everything that I would wish this show to have.
It starts with a delightful opening, showing certain characters dressing up and getting ready for work. With the song "Twist Again" playing in the background.
Although it may feel like not all that much happens, it is the beginning of what is to come. There is brand new technology over at Sterling Cooper and Duck orders Don to hire new, younger staff.
We witness a more confident Peggy, trying to teach Don's new secretary; Lois, how to be a successful secretary. There was no mention of what went on after the last we saw of her. But the ad guys sure are gossiping about it, and we notice her painful reaction to Pete's question on whether she would want children or not.
Betty's character is also given much spotlight. Her marriage is just getting boring, especially for her. Don cannot even get it up for her during valentines day.
The book 'Meditations in an Emergency' gets mentioned a few times in this episode. and the closing scene is a quote straight from the book read by Don as he, presumably, sends it to Anna Draper.
Overall, it was a strong episode that Pro and sparked much interest for the second season.
I give it **** stars.
