There are reasons why someone doesn’t remember the 1960’s. Too many boogie nights with a bong and other mind-expanding pleasures are just one excuse for such cultural amnesia And then there is Matt Weiner who was likely a toilet-training toddler when Broadway Joe
first owned New York. In episode 3, references to the tumultuous times are forced and expository–Roger makes a quick crack about Nixon; Don claims to be a “writer who’s against the war”. There is little political passion (as in none) and more creepy sex. I’m not quite sure where the narrative is going but I fear it may be to Plato’s Retreat– (a New York swinger’s sex club of the era).
