“Mad Men” reached the end of its second season, but producers say they will take a break for the moment. The men of Sterling Cooper, who are in between the threat of nuclear annihilation and social insurrection, will slow down a bit with their happenings. It seems that “Meditations in an Emergency” by Frank O’Hara has been a real source of inspiration for the show’s many coy.

Matthew Weiner, the producer of the series, tries to revive a vision from the early 1960s and to emphasize the moment that signaled the waning of American supremacy and optimism. The series started with little echo and ended with a great popularity. It even won an Emmy awards and grew higher expectations.

“Mad Men” is some kind of drama but with a comic edge in the end and a break could attract many things by it. The second season started off two years after the first one and managed to gain a lot more field in the area. The 1960s revival moments are over and the Kennedy administration is damaged by the civil rights movement.

A new generation is up in the second series. The women claim their rights and the teenagers begin listening to Bob Dylan and read Frank O’Hara. They don’t fell shame for homosexuality or love and even if it’s 1962, it’s still the man’s world. Still, the old limits start to shrink a bit.
This second season was centered on women and their rights, being so little to laugh about.
