This series about the exploration and legitimization of human sexual response has fallen victim to what so many relationships do: a sense of stagnancy.

As has become usual with this series, Masters and Johnson's own human sexual and emotional responses to each other have become central, even predictable.

Masters of Sex is, and to some extent always has been, a broader, soapier period piece than its kissing cousin, Mad Men, and this more melodramatic tack certainly has its delights.

Real life might have been glittered up a little - but the ends justify the means - this is a quality bit of television.

Masters of Sex eventually finds its groove in Bill and Virginia's work, which continues to explore new ground, only this time under more intense public scrutiny following their bombshell book.

July 14, 2015
They may not be running from zombies or flying through space, but the Masters and Johnsons have become one of the more interesting families on TV.
July 13, 2015
The culture at large is also questioning the forces -- or the libidos -- that Masters and Johnson together have unleashed. One more variation.
