Sex & Nudity
-
- Sex is somewhat common, though it is always brief and more romantic than sexual. Not much actual sexual activity is ever shown but there is lots of kissing and cuddling.
- The main character Don Draper is shown having lots and lots of sexual encounters with women.
- There are one or two scenes in a strip club. There is never nudity or anything too explicit. Women wear lingerie and have tassels on their breasts.
- 5x1: naked woman sleeping her buttocks partial visible
- Multiple scenes imply sex. Examples include people under the covers, Kissing, and lying on top of each other, or just the start of the scene. There are some scenes of thrusting and moaning, however. But nudity is never actually shown during these.
- When women are shown without clothes, the camera never shows anything below the upper chest so no breasts are seen.
- Lots of sexual references, mainly pertaining to the women of the 1960s-ish era.
- The most graphic nudity we ever see is the naked man's rear, we do not even see one nipple.
- Sexual dialogue occurs throughout the series. The purpose of this dialogue is to show that men in the sixties were sexist and objectified women. Furthermore, most of the main characters are married men who are openly carousing with other women. Women are encouraged to objectify themselves by wearing more showy clothing in order to please their bosses. A frequent theme of the show is that women are treated like tramps if they act the same way that men do.
- The main characters are often seen making out with their partners. In some instances, they tease the other by placing their hands at the other person's crotch or kissing the chest.
Violence & Gore
-
- In one of the show's most violent scenes, a man is shown strangling a woman to death. This is during a dream sequence.
- A flashback shows a man is killed by getting kicked in the head by a horse, his face is fairly bloodied
- Two scenes of the men getting into fist fights with one another, resulting in bruises and bloody noses/lips.
- Don is held down by two men and smacked in the face twice with a phone book.
- A woman defensively stabs a man in the stomach after being accidentally scared.
- 1 or 2 flashbacks of war. The most graphic flashback is when a man is completely blown up by an explosion. We see his extremely charred up body and his completely disfigured face. This scene is sort of out of focus but very noticeable at the same time.
- In one episode a hung body can be seen. The head is shown multiple times. Not graphic but quite intense and sad
Profanity
-
- There are 14 uses of "fuck" throughout the whole series.
- Streaming versions of the show have uncensored F-words.
- The vast majority of the profanity is very tame limited to "damn" or "hell".
- Sometimes stronger language such as "ass" or "shit" have been used.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
-
- Drug use becomes much more prominent as the show progresses.
- Several men try speed in their workplace. It causes them to act hyper and sweat a lot.
- Several men smoke marijuana in an office and a woman joins them to fit in. They all have very mellow reactions.
- Pretty much every scene shows a man smoking or drinking alcohol. Some episodes include drug use and the side effects are shown. Later episodes can get extreme on the drug use at the workplace, at meetings, and at bars. Drugs like cocaine, speed, hash, and LSD, and other drugs are used.
- Shows extensive alcohol and smoking. Several of the characters drink and/or smoke constantly: at work and at home.
- Characters smoke marijuana a few times throughout the series.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Rated R for sexuality, drug use, language and some violent images.
- Occasionally heavy themes (such as death) take presence in the show and it may be depressing to some.
- The range of such themes and content include the heavy consumption of alcohol and tobacco, especially by Don and Peggy under stress; the abandoned engagement in illicit sexual affairs by various key characters such as Don; the use of prostitution as a business tackle most notably by Joan for the Jaguar account that also landed her a partnership in the firm; and a mans suicide.
Spoilers
Sex & Nudity
- Every single married male character in the show except for Ken Cosgrove cheats on their wife, most of them constantly, especially Don.
- You can very briefly see a female character's breast as she is getting out of bed.
- One of the secondary characters, Sal, is a married but closeted gay man. In Season 3 Sal is seen being physically intimate with another man. While on a business trip, Sal momentarily loses himself in a sexual tryst with a hotel worker who comes into his room to repair the faulty air-conditioning. Sal is taken by surprise when he is kissed by the male worker but succumbs to the moment and allows the man to undo his belt buckle and place his hand into his underpants. The men are interrupted by a fire alarm and there is no further development of any relationship between the two.
Violence & Gore
- While recklessly playing with a lawn mower, a woman accidentally runs over a mans foot. Lots of blood sprays all over three men. The foot is all torn up with blood dripping from it. It is later mentioned the man lost the foot.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Don smokes a hefty amount of Hash during a party. He then has a lot of weird hallucinations. While he is on Hash he imagines Megan as a hippie and being pregnant. It is implied that while he was high he fell into the pool and almost drowns.
- In the very last episode, Joan and her new boyfriend try cocaine. They each take two sniffs and react happy.
- A significant scene depicts Roger and his wife Jane consuming LSD in an after-party dinner at her psychologist's home. The drug LSD was prescribed as a way to deal with their marriage troubles. The elderly hosts hand out the joints and 'sugar cubes' to their guests like after-party desserts. The scene also depicts the surrealistic effects of LSD on the consumers. Some users became somewhat pathetically sad and spaced out, while others, like Roger, experience euphoric lightness. The overall tone of the episode is somewhat humorous.
