Mad Men: 'It's Not Women's Lib, It's Just a Bitch Session'
We can all agree that Mad Men has had its share of intense episodes, as it’s explored every hellish crevice of the virulently unscrupulous and morally bankrupt.

Mad Men might be ending, but Peggy Olson is not done breaking glass ceilings. Elisabeth Moss, who plays Olson on the show, is rumored to be the top pick for the lone female lead in season two of True Detective. Advertising, law enforcement — is there any profession that Peggy can't conquer?
