I don't think it's bad writing, I think they are recreating the uncertainty of the times... as you know, the late 60's were so "What's next... how are we supposed to deal with all this craziness and form a coherent direction in life?" that it's infusing these characters and the story with a lost at sea vibe, IMO.

No, there's no honesty in the acting. Draper has his moments and as I've said, Pete is putting down a pretty good character. Even Sally does a pretty god job of being the rebellious kid. But most of the rest of the cast wouldn't know a business office from a beauty salon.
If Draper was facing down a character played by Clint Eastwood, you'd see something happening in their eyes. AFA the current cast, they are vacant and I don't think the writing is good enough to actually call for that.
OMG, when what's his face was dumping Peggy, her reaction was worse than a CVS cashier when I don't have enough money.
