Took a number of days throughout the week, but slowly plowed through 12 hours to complete the first season of Masters of Sex.
Found the show to be incredibly rewarding to watch. In addition to exploring human sexuality and gender roles - it came around and explored the strains and complexities that sex has on relationships.
I haven't had a chance to read any recaps on the show yet, but I'm curious to hear if anyone else is excited about this show possibly occurring within the confines of a 10 year (on screen) period.
I'm not suggesting that there should be 9 more seasons of this show - but the core of the show is the study itself and I would really like to see this show not overstay its welcome. Something that Showtime shows have traditionally done in the past.... (Californication, Dexter, Weeds... for example)
Anyhoo - things I'm looking froward to seeing in Season 2.
Dr. Masters - must find a new place to continue his work. The last scene between him and Virginia in the rain was pitch perfect. I'm curious if we get to learn more about what his father did to him...
Virginia Johnson - is the most interesting character on the show in my opinion. Not only is she the most sexually confident and tuned character on the show, she's an emotional compass for the show. There are so many things pinned to her character and her performance was flawless in the first season. Every decision she makes in season 2 will be closely watched...
Mrs. Masters - the character wants to grow more... Motherhood will undoubtedly keep her busy - but there's much more to explore there. She's on to the connection between Virginia and Dr. Masters... Something has to give.
the Study - really curious to hear what myths get debunked next...
