About
William Masters and Virginia Johnson are real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality.

He is a brilliant scientist out of touch with his own feelings, and she is a single working mother ahead of her time. The series chronicles their unusual lives, romance, and unlikely pop culture trajectory.
