The Suitcase

This episode is pure gold, and the way the actors play Don and Peggy against each other is nothing short of genius.

This episode ( The suitcase) is definitely the best episode of the series. First it show how brilliant the actors(Jon and Elisabeth) are and second it shows the excellence in writing of the episode.

This the highest peak of 'Mad Men', a little past the midway point of the series' seven season run. Plenty of great episodes lay ahead, but in a way only relevant to the Mad Men series, its downhill from here. Downhill on Mad Men still beats all other TV Drama series (including Matthews Weiner's warm up creation 'The Sopranos' which is as good as it was, ranks behind Mad Men).

The pinnacle of Television Drama is here. X marks the spot.

I have read a lot of online reviews that this episode is by far the best of the series and the ratings on IMDb confirm this. It is certainly the highlight of the series. The true chemistry in this whole series from season 1 to season 7 is what's between Don and Peggy. It's way more intense and real than any love affair Don had with his women. When I had started watching season 1, I never predicted that Peggy would take such a central role in Mad Men, and she has done it with such charm and ease. Bravo. This episode shows depth, humanity, people could identify with Don, they could identify with Peggy and probably for the first time they could so clearly see the world through their eyes, could feel what they feel. An episode that defines the whole series. lovely.

The Suitcase was an excellent episode, possibly one of the finest in the series. No, scratch that! THE best episode of the series to date. I am sure Mad Men fans will look back upon this episode as the best, or at least one of the best.

The Suitcase showcased Don Draper and Peggy Olson's relationship, one that is very rare to Don in his type of life. It showed how important they are to each other, and it showed both Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss at their finest acting, and their amazing chemistry really comes through. Their vulnerabilities that they are able to express to each other is rare to both. Both Jon Hamm and Elisabeth Moss have proved over time, this episode in particular, that they are the finest actors on the show, and it is about time that they get their due. The writing in this episode is masterful, and I am sure that upon next year's Emmys the episode will be on the list of nominees.

The Suitcase keeps adding on to an amazing fourth season that, if it keeps on this path, will probably stand as the show's best season. I feel like giving this episode a standing ovation, because it is not every day, or every year, that a Television episode this amazing hits the air waves.
