Masters of Sex: Interiors
Masters of Sex falls into something of a more routine pattern this week after the last two episodes hurtled the drama at breakneck pace. The danger in returning to the norm is that there is something of an unavoidable letdown after the intoxicating feats the show gracefully undertook. This week’s episode – Mirror, Mirror – …
Masters of Sex: Seismic Shifts
I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t quite figure out what Masters of Sex intends to do with its second season. All of the pre-release press I’d read focused largely on the heavy African-American influence, which made sense considering this is a drama set during the 1950s. The era was on the precipice …
Masters of Sex: ‘Giants’ Among Men

However, this being an acclaimed cable drama, the titular fight is clearly a (slightly heavy handed) metaphor for the verbal sparring that happens between Bill Masters and Virginia Johnson over one of …

It’s not nearly as accomplished or sophisticated as its 50s era cousin Mad Men, but it manages to deal with similar subject matter less densely, less ponderously. The jury is still out for me on the direction of season two, …
Masters of Sex: Sex Ain’t Love
Showtime’s Masters of Sex returns this week after receiving a smattering of Emmy love, three nominations in acting categories including a well-deserved Best Actress Drama nomination for Lizzy Caplan. In a less competitive environment, season one would have easily tripled its nomination tally, but such is life. I do think it is guaranteed to triumph …
