OK, what can be great about the movement that started people looking at other people as objects, that's not love, is about selfish pleasure at anyone's expense. We should not use Gods gift for selfish reasons. Look what it had done to families and kids. Unwed pregnancy is thorough the roof, divorce is all time high, sexual abuse is out of control, cheating, teen suicide, std's, and lack of religion in general. You are lost and confused if you think this is good entertainment. Just think about what I've said

The actors are all wonderful. I chose to give the show a chance since I can remember my textbooks, teachers, and Cosmopolitan magazine always quoting Masters and Johnson. lol I must admit the second season was moving so quickly that I often was disappointed in the show. The first season was very interesting but the third season was superb. If you aren't open-minded you will want to skip it (brief nudity, sexual toys, sex, the topic of sex, a small amount of cursing, smoking, etc.). The show is interesting, sometimes funny, written quite well, and the person/team in charge of wardrobe, makeup, and setting is EXCELLENT. The characters of Libby and Betty definitely go through quite a few wardrobe changes to express the current time period and they look amazing.

Sex is sex period, it happened before the creation of religion. If you are private about your sex life, it doesn't matter what you are doing as long as it's not illegal and there is consent. That being said this show is nothing more than a deluded Mad Men.
