The 'Mad Men' series creator Matt Weiner has confessed that he was dubious about the recent ending of the AMC show.

The 49-year-old director admitted that he had a ton of doubts, adding that he'd spent the show's final weeks in his house covering his face as he struggled with his confidence, the Fox News reported.

Weiner added during the panel at the Writers Guild Foundation event 'Inside the Writers Room with Mad Men' that he just didn't know and didn't want to end the show in an argument as one can't defend himself.

He noted that his mental hand wringing was alleviated immediately as he watched the finale with the cast, crew and about 1,600 strangers in a screening at the Ace Hotel.

Weiner, who goes through the same process of anxiety every time, said that he had an amazing experience at the screening and knew he would not need to go online no matter what was written because he felt everybody kind of emotionally react to the end of the show.

He added that the fact is that he thinks people got it and totally understood it, and they may not be able to express it in words, which was like "cherry on the sundae.
