Real life might have been glittered up a little - but the ends justify the means - this is a quality bit of television.

Unlike Mad Men, a '60s-set drama that was free to bend its make-believe action figures every which way in pursuit of story, Masters sees every flight of fancy yanked rudely back in line with the public record.

They may not be running from zombies or flying through space, but the Masters and Johnsons have become one of the more interesting families on TV.

Masters of Sex eventually finds its groove in Bill and Virginia's work, which continues to explore new ground, only this time under more intense public scrutiny following their bombshell book.

It's still one of the best dramas on TV.
