Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Members Share Posted December 19, 2013 Great piece on next season from the EP http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/12/16/masters-of-sex-season-1-finale-postmortem/ And an interesting piece about how much of the show is based in reality (I'm sure nobody will be shocked by the answer) http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/12/15/masters-of-sex-season-finale-real-life/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2014 Nice to see the Emmy nod for Caplan. I thought the season 2 premier was great--and I'm glad critics who have seen early episodes think it's even better than last year. Nice to have the show back.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted August 6, 2014 Members Share Posted August 6, 2014 I'm thinking of tuning in (I dismissed it as a bootleg Mad Men when I saw the promotion for it), as I glimpsed parts of the last episode (when they went to the Black hospital to start their research at the end) and was a bit intrigued. (For the record, I don't care for Showtime series in general, as something about them always falls short of what they pride themselves in being.)

Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2014 I think Showtime is starting to improve with that. While I get why the deliberate pacing and style of both Penny Dreadful and Masters of Sex aren't to everyone's taste, they strike me as a step up in the so-called "prestige drama" attempts Showtime has been doing for a while now and some of the other shows in the pipeline at least seem intriguing--but I definitely agree with you that in the past, more often than not their shows felt like they somehow missed the mark compared to other cable stations (they worked best for me with some 30 minute "dramedies"--what a stupid word--like United States of Tara.) I thought the last two episodes were amazing--I had to watch them back to back due to travelling but between episode three which was nearly entirely a two hander between the two leads in one setting, a hotel room, and this past one... (I hate to see Libby's passive aggressive racism towards Coral, but it seems realistic--especially given how Libby herself is in such an awful situation that the way she gets out her frustration is taking it out on the only person "beneath her" in terms of social position.)

Members Faulkner Posted August 9, 2014 Members Share Posted August 9, 2014 Yeah, Libby's nastiness and racism ring true to me. I'm loving this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted August 9, 2014 Author Members Share Posted August 9, 2014 The hotel room episode was penned by Amy Lippman (of course co-creator of Party of Five and once upon a time one of the myriad of Loving headwriters.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
