Masters of Sex S1E9
WARNING: This review contains spoilers.
Performance evaluations are due this week.
Masters of Sex delivers a great episode, as the characters continue to develop into real people, with real successes and failures. Michael Sheen continues to shine (see what I did there?) as the titular lead and Masters, no matter his past or station in life, still comes across as an asshole. Sheen plays Master's peculiar nature perfectly, and it is a testament to his portrayal that the viewer, after nine episodes, still does not like him. This is not a guy you want to have a beer with or take fishing.
