Masters of Sex

William Masters and Virginia Johnson, real-life trailblazers in the study of human sexuality, sparked the sexual revolution with their groundbreaking research. Their work propelled them from a teaching hospital in the Midwest to the cover of Time magazine and frequent guest spots on Johnny Carson’s show. Masters, a gifted scientist disconnected from his emotions, and Johnson, a forward-thinking single mother, are at the heart of this series, which explores their extraordinary lives, romance, and unexpected rise to pop culture fame.
