Michael Sheen’s 2013 drama branded “a cracker” is one of UK streamer’s most popular shows right now

The 2013 drama titled “Masters of Sex,” praised as a “cracker” by critics, currently ranks among the most-watched programs on Amazon Prime Video UK.

Drawing inspiration from Thomas Maier’s biography, “Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson,” this series narrates the story of Masters (portrayed by Sheen) as he embarks on groundbreaking research into human sexuality in collaboration with Virginia Johnson (played by Lizzy Caplan).

In the United Kingdom, you can stream all four seasons of this period drama on Amazon Prime Video, and it’s currently one of their most popular TV shows.

Originally airing from the 1950s to the 1960s, the show initially aired between 2013 and 2016. However, given its enduring popularity on Prime Video, it’s evident that conversations about this series are still happening.

At the moment, the TV series titled “Masters of Sex” boasts a commendable 90% score on the review aggregator platform, Rotten Tomatoes, based on 59 reviews. Critics have been using words like “evocative” and “clever” to describe it.

In his critique, Andrew Anthony from The Observer stated that while the show’s title is disappointing, the narrative itself is excellent.

Us Weekly remarked that this fact-based drama is particularly captivating when it illustrates how the discoveries sparked the feminist movement, making it highly engaging and thought-provoking.

Entertainment Weekly stated: “Masters of Sex” manages the unique feat of being both intellectually stimulating and entertaining.

The article from The Guardian stated, “Without a doubt, there were many aspects to appreciate in this drama that portrays one of the significant moments in the sexual revolution. One particular aspect worth mentioning is its compelling dialogue.

According to the Los Angeles Times, this movie is simple to watch and highly recommended. It’s generally wholesome in nature, boasting a range of nuanced performances, and hardly offends one’s intelligence.

The show is exceptional when it moves beyond its subtly sensual portrayal of relationships and instead immerses its characters deeply into the significance and eerie allure of the unexplored territory they are investigating, according to Slant Magazine‘s critique.

All four seasons of Masters of Sex are available to stream on Prime Video UK now.
