Yeah, I mean you can already see by the end of season 1 that Peggy is moved to the copywriting team, so her journey is sort of the spine of the series. I also feel like the more you see of the business side of things, the more interesting it seems to get, or at least seeing how characters react to the ads reveals things about them that is interesting.

Also, "Don Draper is cool but troubled" slowly starts to drift into "Don Draper is getting uncool but very troubled" and that's kinda fun as well.

The show leaning a bit more on the technical business side of things will be a welcome change of pace for sure. I much prefer that backdrop for character development to occur instead of the expected (and aforementioned) 50s reasons.
