Masters of Sex - cancelled, No season 5 (p5)

Episode 7 was amazing. I loved how subtly the time jumps were handled. And another excellent performance from Michael Sheen.

My missus is big fan of Scandal, Revenge etc. Would she get into this show or not?

I just like her to shut up for few minutes :dread:

50% of the episodes end up in my wife feeling horny afterwards, so I would say get her to watch it.

No thanks. avoid

Quality episode this week, great work by Sheen and his brother in the show was pretty good as well. Lizzy :wub:

Good end to a mixed season. Season three will be better with Barton and Ethan (and presumably Barton's wife) back. Their returns were both handled brilliantly too.

I thought it was outstanding and better than Season 1 in every regard. Can't say I missed any of the absences since all of the new characters and elevated previously minor ones were so good.

Might be a bit down on the 1st season but that was mainly down to less study stuff and I didn't care about the Flo & Langham scenes. Thought they might deal with 1 of the affairs in the finale but only did partially with the revelation from Libby that she's known for years. Instead we had the surprise that Bill killed the TV Show which really strawberry floated over Virginia.

What was fictional this season from Hitflix's review of the finale -

Ashford acknowledges that she had to fictionalize the Masters and Johnson story much more of this season than in season 1 — including Bill's time at both Memorial and Buell Green, the return of Frank, Libby's relationship with Robert, and even Bill's impotence — because she wanted to return not long after the events of last year's finale, but which landed her in a relatively dull part of their career. In some cases, she extrapolated from history (Frank was, in fact, a plastic surgeon in Kansas City who had little to do with Bill as an adult), while others were invented out of whole cloth (Ashford understandably wanted to give Libby something to do, but there's very little recorded history of what she was doing or feeling during this time).

I don't believe that Ashford has an obligation to maintain 100% fidelity to the facts (nor is it possible to do so), but I also don't know that it's a coincidence that this season was much bumpier than season 1, which also deviated from history but in less central ways — and which tended to tie those deviations more directly to Bill and Virginia's work. Barton Scully is an invention, for instance, but one crafted out of pieces of people Bill knew in his career, and his story reflected both what Bill was trying to do with the study in the '50s and what he would do in the more controversial later phase of his career. Some of season 2's inventions were along those lines — Bill's stint at Buell Green, while shorter than it probably should have been (since it was a better way to integrate the civil rights movement into a show about human sexuality than Libby's time with CORE), helped dramatize his decision to give up a life as an obstetrician with hospital privileges to focus primarily on the study, while Frank's visit helped address Bill's abused childhood — but many more seemed there entirely to give characters like Libby, Betty and Langham things to do when they otherwise weren't all that integral to the main story.

Lots of meandering nonsense in season 2 but I'll stick with it for another season

Casting addition -

1st episode has leaked. I'll probably wait until nearer the 12th to watch it.

I couldn't even find a working copy.

EDIT: Actually wait I've just found a copy in my downloads folder. I don't know what I'm doing.

Good return although the time jump and all the kids were a bit confusing. Liked the way it split between the press conference and the past. Not sure where they're going next but I'm sure I'll enjoy the ride.

Been a good season so far, maybe better than last season. Last weeks episode was excellent, will watch this weeks later tonight.

This week's was the best so far. Beau Bridges and Allison Janney deserve all the awards!

Any news on a UK air date yet?

Seems very quiet from any searches I've done. I know the first series aired her in October but last year it was a week or so behind the US. Although it moved from ch4 to more4, so not sure how well it's doing in the ratings.
