Master of Sex Review

Sex is not love

Bill Masters is not your typical OBGYN, and Virginia Johnson is not some ordinary secretary.  Set in the late 1950’s, Masters of Sex Season One stories the every famous Masters and Johnson sex studies.  Masters uses his acumen to conduct his studies in examination room 5 at Washington University.  Masturbation, sexual attraction, and male genital size are just a taste of what Masters documents when it comes to physiological responses. Be that as it may, studies so advanced and ahead of time come at a cost.

Love, inferiority, deviate behavior, childhood haunts, temptation, lust, and disillusion navigate, Masters Sex Studies as well.  Libby’s craftiness leads down a road that gives her what she wants; however, at what cost with Bill? Virginia confronts her separation of love and sex. Margret learns of her husband’s demon that makes her feel that she was robbed from her potential. Ethan knows whom he loves. and shows it. However, will whom he loves allow it to approach?  Lillian has much to learn from Virginia, and her driven advocacy for every woman to be able to get a Pap smear accounts her uphill contest. 

When it comes to sex, Masters of Sex publics that women don’t bear all the responsibility.  Shortcomings, trust, ambition, and philandering are all parts of the lays of sex.  Masters of Sex is a must see series.  I rate season one ★★★★.

Season 2:

The spirit for Masters of Sex season two was not as captivating as season one. I say this because Bill and Virginia did not come across syncopated as season one. Now, this is not to say that the season was a flop, but Virginia’s relationship sorting is what felt off-speed. The reintroduction of Betty was an unexpected zigzag, and the tensions Bill goes trough at Memorial coupled with an ambiguous gentile birth and confused parents plays very well.

Libby learns to face her own fears, and she grows from an unnerving witness account. Walls crumple, and respect is earned for what she has to offer.

Virginia’s compassion is levied with DePaul’s decisions; and in an attempt to help Barbara, she finds herself well over her head.  This allows her to see her for herself.  Virginia also learns that her life’s priorities are not first place, and an surprising short straw is drawn as a result.

Flo and Dr. Langston (yes the sexaholic podiatrist) collide in business and bed, but Flo’s affluence trump card triggers Langston to think again.  I rate season two ★★★.
