Excitement - Plateau - orgasm - regression

In the decaying 1950s, former country singer and single mother Virginia Johnson finds (Lizzy Caplan) a job as a secretary at the hospital at highly renowned gynecologist William Masters (Michael Sheen). Although this is a capacity in the obstetrics sector, but his true passion is sex - strictly scientific course. However, this interest - gynecology out science ago - in the fifties an extremely sensitive. The one-sided tilt of his young wife Libby (Caitlin Fitzgerald) is achieving very little, otherwise Dr. Masters is emotionally quite be described as strange. But he decides to brave the monstrosity that time: studies on active objects. Virginia will thereby soon become indispensable ...

I should not take notice, but will not hide it: Despite its proximity to the historic Masters and Johnson, the perfect 50's features and the issues Sex & Science - Masters of Sex is a hospital drama! With doctors, nurses, patients, diseases and all as a finished product (plus this very Sexkram. Sometimes in the modern series about too much sex is gemosert, such objections may raise forbid). Just as hospital drama friends always point out their favorite series was indeed "very different" from the hospital series usually are, I AFFIRM as non-hospital drama friend here same.

In the feature articles was "Masters of Sex" sometimes called plagiarism of "Mad Men" because of the obsession with the equipment, or rejected this accusation, however, is always a reference made. My feeling is here a great prequel was created. Both series show the changing relationship between the sexes in a phase that is substantially shaped the present. Me at least make both series a bit humiliating when hasty Blame supposedly backward societies in other parts of our world - so long bad we are not yet modern, as can be seen here. In setting is Masters of Sex is not as high gloss, as are the Mad Men (or "Pan Am"), which still muffigeren decade and the less glamorous surroundings will do justice; the BBC series "The Hour" (also located in the '50s) looks because of quite similar.

The real Masters and Johnson described the "human reaction cycle" (see title), the women freed from the burden of "false orgasm", undergoing therapy, the "disease" homosexuality or helped weary men with "surrogate partners" on the jumps, conducted research to into the neuziger years. Because so much remains controversial material for subsequent seasons.

"Masters of Sex" has entertained me in the first season, authentic effect, humorous, and it made me towards the end also affected. I have something to criticize? Yes, Virginia is still advised arg perfect, more dream woman does not get much. A few quirks mastersche would also have done well. But maybe she really did not. Or they come.
