My wife just sent me this, and it really hit home with me. Something has consistently bothered me about this show, and I think it might be what is described here: that the main character essentially does nothing that isn't in his self-interest. Either way, it's an interesting read:

Critic's Notebook: The Devil in Don Draper

I love TV shows with complex characters, I dunno what's so horrible about a show revolving around someone that isn't a white, shining great person.

Nothing at all, but really, the more I think about it, I can't come up with anything that he's ever done that wasn't somehow self-serving.

It's weird, watching him in flashbacks where he's not commanding people to do things, or where he's maybe down right timid.
