    Bill is a prat with everyone though. In fact with some of the other characters leaving the show for one reason or another, it has made me realise that Bill & Virginia's relationship is least interesting aspect of the show in my opinion.

    Bill is coming across as being unpleasant to people who care about him
    and want to help him (Virginia, Libby and his mother). It's a testament to
    Michael Sheen's acting that we still have some sympathy for him.

    So is Libby going go and help the Civil Rights activists?

    Also, I'm starting to like the Flo Packer character.

    I've already watched the first 3 episodes, I was hooked after the Pilot.

    Absolutely love this drama, recommend everyone watch this as it's so engrossing! :)

    I concur as I too have been enjoying this series. I think the 2 leads are very good. I can not believe this is the same actress from Hot Tub Time Machine. She is a very strong co lead in this programme.

    Best

    It's a sad reflection on British viewing habits that a great series like this got relegated from the main C4 channel after the first series, meanwhile the 'reality' pap such as Towie gets a whole new channel to itself (ITVBe).

    That is so true.

    This completely disappeared from my planner and didn't record! Then I couldn't find on 4od! thought they'd shelved mid-season, but then I found it. Thank goodness, now to find a couple of hours to watch it in between work shifts. Wednesday mornings are my only 'free' time, grr.

    Yeah. I'm a little uncomfortable with this angle (did the real Libby Masters had
    an extramartial affair? Because if not, it feels wrong to depict her having one :o ).

    Not to mention the whole idea s felt a bit like something outta
    My Secret Garden (Unhappy suburban housewife has passionate, forbidden sex
    with black man).

    Having said that, Caitlin Fitzgerald gave a great performance.

    As for the other characters: even though Flo is an awful person, Artemis Pebdani's
    performance makes me feel a bit sorry for her.

    I haven't read the real life story, but I would not be surprised if that was added for drama.

    To be honest I think this this has been on the cards ever since Libby was visited by that black handyman in Season 1. I actually thought that they were going to get it on back then, but it seems we had to wait another season for the inevitable to happen. I'm hoping that eventually Bill will find them in bed together as the expression on his face would be priceless if that would happen.

    I really cried this week when Virginia realised she gave up custody of her children for nothing. Such a good performance from Lizzy Caplin.

    Sad we'll have to wait for a new season. I hope it's not cut completely from the schedule. It's fantastic viewing.

    Yes it was a good season. Dr Masters is so selfish, doesn't seem to realise how much he hurts other people

    Yeah. I loved that chat in the bar with Barton where Bill tried to justify his
    behaviour. Having said that, Gini's whole strategy to keep her kids was
    risky- would she really be judged a good person simply by making a good
    impression on TV?

    EDIT: The "Dr Kaufman" seen in this episode was a real person, and
    "Man and Sex" is a real book.

    Although the book doesn't to have made any of the impact Alfred Kinsey
    or Masters and Johnson's books did.....

    Still one of the best, most grown-up dramas of recent years.

    Is there a UK air date for series 3?
    The States are already up to episode 4.

    (Not sure why the 720p torrents are over 3GB and I can't see any 1080 ones, so maybe I'll wait for More4).

    Looks like we're not getting season three. One and two are on Amazon Prime, so we may get lucky there.
