The Showtime series offers an account of the careers of Masters and Johnson, a tale that is at times stranger than fiction.
The Big Picture The Showtime TV series Masters of Sex offers a raunchy, semi-fictionalized account of the lives of Virginia E. Johnson and Dr. William Masters, where its four seasons chart both the controversial scientific research and personal affairs of its stars. Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan take on the show’s leading roles as the Masters and Johnson duo, in a show loosely based on the 2009 Masters of Sex biography by Thomas Maier.
The Real Masters & Johnson Had a Brilliant Meeting of Minds Two years into his research, Masters hired Virginia E. Johnson as his secretary, and together their groundbreaking work involved measuring physiological responses during masturbation and monitoring anonymized couples having sex through a one-way mirror.
'Masters of Sex' Took More Creative License with the Real Story The TV adaptation presents a fairly accurate depiction of these key events. But as the seasons progress, more creative liberties are taken with the source material. Less is known about Masters’ wife Libby, where depictions of her involvement in the American Civil Rights movement are likely to be fictional.
