This series tries making young hippies with their left wing ideals look good, I think, but they're all as shallow and hypocritical as those beatniks that Don chewed-out the second to last time he was with Midge...
These kids say the same thing, the same dialogue, the same political motivations, but it all seems written by a young person who dreams having nothing, with money...
Last episode was Roger's spoiled daughter turned hippie dropout, and here it's Don's "niece" who was always a pretentious hippie chick but now she's out of that evil thing called money, and, just know that not all young people were like this back then...
Also, from the beginning of the horribly overblown Ginsberg character, giving him and his dad their own story before he himself even got his feet wet on the series, has been forced upon viewers, and is able to scream at his bosses and be rude and he's just not a realistic character; just a wannabe Al Pacino "Attica" type seeming in his own movie separate from this series.
As for the rest... This season is much, much, much better than the last one. Season 6 of Mad Men was pretty awful and this is good stuff here, back to basics yet progressing at the same time as Don starts over...
Also the whole thing with Lou creating a comic book is confusing; why is this so awful and humorous? The comic is not about rich kid hippies blowing up buildings so that's something to bag on? That whole thing is just kind of odd... But there has to be a way to get Lou out of the office, which makes sense because he's keeping Don from his rule.
