Masters of Sex (Showtime)
*cue critics' unfavorable comparisons to Mad Men*
I am definitely interested in this. The cast is great. I am a big fan of Michael Sheen, and I would love for this to be a rewarding, nuanced lead role for him.
It premieres at 10pm on Sunday, September 29th.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
Showtime failed yet again (Ray Donovan) so while I hope this works, by virtue of being on the Charlie Brown of cable networks, its guilty until proven innocent.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
I have a feeling this will be poorly received, but I am interested, especially with hottie Nicholas D'Agosto (Final Destination 5) having a big role on it.

I think that Showtime just has the most bland names for their tv shows.

Lizzy Caplan should win an Emmy for this.

Very true about Showtime.
I'll give this show a chance - looks decent and like the era it is set in.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
The Borgias stayed largely consistent over its three seasons, in my opinion.
This series won't have Homeland style pressure to blow people's minds and up the suspense and twist ante to an ever more absurd degree.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
The third episode was the best one yet. Lizzy Caplan is so wonderful in this.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
There's a fair amount in the pilot but not as much as you might think. Lizzie Caplan does have a surprisingly perfect body. Amazing.
Overall, I really really enjoyed the pilot. Looking forward to the next episodes.

Lizzie Caplan is very hot. That is all I currently have to say on the subject of this show.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
I love this show. I thought the last episode "Fallout" was the best one yet. Sheen and Caplan are fantastic and have great chemistry. Their scenes together are the highlight of every episode. Especially Sheen has grown on me a lot since the pilot. I'm into all of the storylines so far and hope this show sticks around for a while.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
I've been binging this over the past two weeks or so and it's great. Just watched episode 9 this morning. Should be done with the season by the season 2 premiere on Sunday.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
The season premiere was absolutely fantastic. Maybe my favorite episode of the show thus far. Really set up a lot of interesting plot dynamics for the next few episodes.
I do hope this isn't the last we see of Beau Bridges and Allison Janney though. Their scenes were amazing and heartbreaking. Barton begging for Margaret after his electroshock therapy and his suicide attempt were hard to watch.
I was also surprised to see so many of last season's recurring characters pop up, especially since most are in-demand actors. Impressive on casting's part for getting everyone's schedules to work.

Re: Masters of Sex (Showtime)
Loved the Season 2 premiere. I wish Bill and Virginia would put an end to this affair. Bill has been a total asshole lately. I'd like Virginia and Ethan to be together but she isn't in love with him, which is too bad as he's a really nice guy.
