Final seasons come with a surplus of anticipation, and a show that has cut as deep a journey as Mad Men has a ton riding on its closing season. The seventh season has begun in Mad Men’s traditional steam-building fashion and has done a lot of things right thus far. Here’s what dedicated and critical viewers should be thankful for as we round the corner on Episode 5.

Girls does something many shows have done before: present a set of characters whose personality and choices are rarely admirable or at times even forgivable, and still craft a world where we care about what happens to them and agree to follow their comical/tragic misteps.

'Ja'mie: Private School Girl' has hope if, beyond the premiere episode, Chris Lilley can weave in characters who offset the character of Ja’mie, challenge her and hopefully humble her. But should Ja'mie be allowed to run rampant, the show may not be as likely to succeed.
