Overview
William Masters and Virginia Johnson are real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality. Their research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a midwestern teaching hospital to the cover of Time magazine and multiple appearances on Johnny Carson's couch. He is a brilliant scientist out of touch with his own feelings, and she is a single working mother ahead of her time. The series chronicles their unusual lives, romance, and unlikely pop culture trajectory.
Review
Masters of Sex
The first two seasons of this show are interesting and really delve into the research. The third season enters into more interpersonal aspects that are all fictitious. It’s so bad that they felt the need to add a disclaimer to the credits, stating that all the kids are completely made up, but that the main focus should be on the research. So… why distract from the research? I gave up. Maybe I’ll come back some day. Maybe not.⭐️⭐️⭐️
