Recently watched the episode featuring the Benjamin Speck murders, a particularly nuanced one showing various aspects of morbid fascination. Things that stick with me .... Sally freaking herself out reading the newspaper by flashlight under blankets, Ginsberg's revulsion at the sick jokes being made, Peggy seeming to ignore it emotionally and reveling in shaking down Roger only to have a spasm of guilt over her reflexive concern for the cash in her purse latter that night....And Betty's mother-in-law, such a gem, with her anecdote of being abused by her father as good life lesson ....the underlying misogyny throughout, the episode, (and series) there, and with Peggy identifying with racism, and Joan with her asshole husband.
