Безумцы The Good News (2007–2015) watch online HD

This episode featured two actors operating on full steam: Jon Hamm and Christina Hendricks. The episode, ironically named "The Good News," contains some news that is the worst we've heard in the season so far. Anna Draper, Don's first wife (it's complicated), has cancer. As her niece puts it, "It's everywhere." Not only that, but Anna doesn't know about it.

This is very simply the best acting I've ever seen from Hendricks. In particular, I'm referring to the two scenes she shares with Lane, going from quietly angry to furious to furious at someone else.

The episode is also far from humorless. Don and Lane's drunken spree is some of the funniest writing in the show. Sandra delivers "I don't know what that means" perfectly. And of course, Joan actually falling for the diversion before a needle.

But of course, it's all on the backdrop of an event that rocks the foundation of the show: Anna's cancer, and the fact that Anna doesn't know about it. It presents a moral question that seems easy to answer at first, but in their shoes it would be a difficult task to ask yourself this. Do you tell Anna about her cancer? Our instincts say yes immediately. Of course you tell her. I'd rather hear the bitterest truth than the sweetest lie. But on the other hand, it seems hopeless. She doesn't have very long to live. There's no chance of even a partial recovery. Why taint her final weeks with dread? Let her live our the rest of her life unburdened. Then again, it feels creepy to keep her in the dark. After all, as Don puts it, "What's your plan? One morning she wakes up in agony and you tell her it's over?"

And behind all this is New Year's. It's interesting, because it's a holiday, and this is (I think) the first episode where we don't see Betty even once.

The creators should be proud of this one.

Don is going to Mexico for a business trip and makes a stop to see his first ex-wife who knows him as Dick. There are a lot of complications as Don finds out she is ill and near death. He gets the news from a surprising source as he does not suspect it is coming.

Still, he wants to have his 3 kids with Betts visit her, but considering how long she has to live, this might not happen. The news has a profound effect on Don as at first he wants to stay longer, but then suddenly decides to cancel his business trip to Mexico and get back to the office.

While all this is happening, with the woman that allowed him to create Don Draper by standing aside for a divorce from her dead husband Don Draper, you can almost feel Don's concern with her health and then the complications that could come with her death for him. This might develop into something later in the season as Betts knows about his double life.

When Don comes back, he finds out about Lane's problems and developing divorce too. The two of them look to each other for support as Lane needs support from someone who has been there.

Don Draper's plans for the end of the year is a trip to Acapulco. To our surprise, he makes a stop to see Anna in California. He finds her at home with a broken leg. Anna's sister Patty comes in with her daughter, the beautiful Stephanie, who stays behind with her aunt. Anna's husband was the real Don Draper, whose identity Dick Whitman stole after an incident during the war.

After dinner, Don took Stephanie home. He makes a pass at the young woman, who clearly rejects his advances. Stephanie goes on to tell Don about Anna's cancer, a condition that evidently caused her fracture. Angry, Don has an argument with Patty the following day. Don is too overwhelmed in finding the news. Instead of going to Acapulco, he heads back home to New York.

Joan goes for a consultation with her Ob/Gyn doctor. He assures her it will not be any problem in spite of the previous abortions she had. She is in perfect health, after all. At the office she goes to Lane Pryce to ask for a few days off to be with her husband Greg, who is on duty during the holidays. He denies her request. After Lane tells her she cannot have the time, he feels guilty and sends her roses, but they come with the message intended for his wife, who is in London. A furious Joan goes to his office and throws the flowers at Lane.

Don returns to the office late at night. He finds Lane there as well. They talk and Don offers to take him to dinner and a movie. During the course of conversation Lane reveals his wife had left him and is staying in London. Don tries to remedy the situation by calling two female escorts. They end up at Don's apartment where each man take a woman to a bedroom.

The third episode of the season was directed by Jennifer Getzinger. The screenplay was written by Jonathan Abrahams and Matthew Weiner, the creator of "Mad Men". The end of 1964 has a different meaning for Don who is showing signs of fatigue, complicated by the shock of knowing that Anna, the woman he owes so much will be dead soon. Jon Hamm, Melinda Page Hamilton, Cathy Lotz and Susan Leslie have some good moments in the California sequence. Jared Harris and Christina Hendricks added pleasure to our enjoyment in watching this chapter.

Mad Men

Mad Men; one of the most acclaimed series by critics, loved by the fans and buzzed at the award shows, is a character driven series created by Matthew Weiner depicting the inner world of an ad agencies set in '60s in New York. The writing is sharp, elaborative, adaptive and exquisite that keeps the audience tangled in its not-so-likable and faulty world on the edge of their seat.

It is rich on technical aspects like projecting the chemistry among the characters, stunning cinematography, beautiful camera work, references mentioned in the conversations and the classic tone of the series that makes it supremely watchable.

The primary reason why the series stands alone is not only its nature to work in a metaphorical way but to weave out a poem from the sequence, is the genuine soul behind it that attains a certain closure in each episode. The performance objective is score majestically by the cast especially by the protagonist Jon Hamm who is supported convincingly by the cast like Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, January Jones and John Slattery.

The practical conversations, the whistle-blowing dialogues, three-dimensional characters, excellent execution, finely detailed set-pieces, alluring costume design are the high points of the series that helps it enter the major league.

Season 04

As much as aware they are of their each character's perspective, the fourth act seems to have unexpected and bold decisions that leads to both disappointing and an exhilarating experience especially the track that depicts the repercussions that Hamm's divorce breeds on his family.

The Good News

There are few daft sequences that may be gripping and mature but at times is questionable and isn't justified to that extent but as far as the performance and execution is concerned the news might actually be more than good.
