Masters of Sex Season 2

I tuned out in Season 1... I just didn't seem to care about any of the characters or what they were doing. Every week, I would watch it and wonder why... yet, people seem to love it and found a show that eluded me. Go figure...

People on here said I tuned out of Hannibal right when it turned a corner and got good, though. But Masters of Sex was pretty well-received from the beginning...

I'm still watching, but I can't say for how much longer. It's difficult when I don't LIKE any of the characters.

I'm watching and expect to all season based on how season 2 has begun. I very much like a bunch of the characters (and if I don’t like them, I at least really enjoy not liking some of them). I think a number of the story lines this year have already had winning moments (both Alison Janey and Beau Bridges are terrific in their scenes as the Scully’s). And I though the story line about 18 year old Rose was very well-played and also heart breaking. Love Annaleigh Ashford’s Betty (and totally understand and sympathize with her) and thought her interaction with Rose was telling (about herself and Dr. Masters - “I’m not my worst part” is a very powerful and empowering sentiment (as is giving a young women an IUD)). I also really enjoy the relationship/friendship between Virginia and Dr. DePaul. I’m a little intrigued to see where the Libby and Coral relationship goes (although I am not much of a Libby fan), and her passive aggressive “axe” call out, along with her totally inappropriate monologue about Bill’s relationship to and about their son made me cringe. And, in addition to all that, I’m crazy enough about the fashion and set/décor to watch for a while.

Yeah I really enjoy this show, too. It's not my favorite drama airing at the moment, but it rarely disappoints and is always worth the hour. The acting and the production design is impeccable, and the stories really fascinate me.

Sheen and Caplan are a fantastic duo, a yin and yang of sorts in so many ways. I also love Julianne Nicholson, what she's bringing to her role is as good as Janney and Bridges (who are giving career-best performances here, by my reckoning.)

It's not that conventionally structured; it's really taking its sweet time to set up stories and unfold them, but I enjoy that in this case because the characters and their time is so interesting and a relevant lens through which to view our lives today.

Talk about bumping an old thread! Is anyone still watching?



I needed to bump because I am in the middle of this week's episode and had to stop watching for a moment. I am so stupidly invested in Betty & Helen and it sounds like Helen has pre-eclampsia and a breech baby. So, unless they go for the surprise, less dramatic ending, they are going to kill Helen and Betty has no rights to her kid. This is really hard for a lesbian non-bio mom to watch. I hope I am wrong, but couldn't finish the episode before blabbing about it and don't know anyone who watches.



And, I was right.
