Does it pick up pacing?

I remember pacing being pretty consistent throughout. What sucked me into the show was that late 50s, early 60s aesthetic, office environment, and the cast. Hamm and Slattery are brilliant, and it's fun to have a peek into the culture of the time through an advertising perspective.
There are some frantic and WTF moments that shove the plot forward, but if you're looking for it to build towards finales like Better Call Saul you may find it plodding. It's a character drama that gets better each season as you invest more in the characters, IMO.
