Showtime‘s new Masters of Sex TV series has received some very positive reviews. Will the viewers love it as well or will the show be cancelled after one season? We shall see.
Masters of Sex revolves around the personal and professional lives of two real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality. The series stars Michael Sheen, Lizzy Caplan, Caitlin FitzGerald, Nicholas D’Agosto, Teddy Sears, Beau Bridges, Allison Janney, and Julianne Nicholson.

great
Masters of Sex is being polled by too young an audience. Really 18 y/o’s? The polling shouldn’t even begin till at least age thirty! Most of the audience in the poll weren’t even born yet as Masters and Johnson’s work became well noted in medicine; and well know by the general public. This is a great show.

are fantastic the best Series 2013
Please DO NOT cancel this series! I AM HOOKED!!!!!! The first couple of episodes seemed like the series was a no go but by the third episode I was rearranging my schedule to make sure I was home to watch this series. Give it a chance!
It’s educational, written well and time for our puritanical society to be open and accepting. It’s a joy to see a show like this instead of another crime-ridden series.
Great Show! The best series I have ever seen!
I’ve watched the show from the beginning and think it’s a great show!! It should absolutely be renewed!!
I did read the book. Not sure the TV audience is ready for what amounts to (so far) soft porn in prime time. It’s a good show with wonderful actors playing great characters. However, it just cannot hide the fact that it is basically about a voyeur’s attempt at making something men slink into dirty, creepy places on the edge of towns to pay money for and watch, too, a mainstream activity. With all the great material Showtime had to choose from, I think this might have been something they should have waited a few years to attempt.
FYI, if you’d like to know more about Masters and Johnson — or my book “Masters of Sex” which is the basis for the television series — please contact ThomasMaierBooks [dot] com. On this website, there is a lot of material about the making of this new show from my biography. You can also obtain the book “Masters of Sex” at the Showtime website.
