Mad Men Season 6 sticks to Don Draper's personal dramas, agency power plays, and 1960s period details without modern political framing or character swaps. This keeps it neutral, story-first entertainment at a low 2/10 woke score.
Mad Men Season 6 centers on Don Draper's personal affairs, agency mergers, client pitches, and family tensions across 1967-1968, with plot points like the Heinz campaign, Sylvia relationship, and firm power struggles driving the narrative.
The sole notable period element appears in episode 5 'The Flood,' which uses Martin Luther King's assassination as historical backdrop for character reactions rather than modern systemic-oppression framing. Casting follows the established 1960s Madison Avenue setting with leads Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss, Christina Hendricks, and Vincent Kartheiser in roles unchanged from prior seasons, showing no race- or gender-swapping of established characters.
