William Masters and Virginia Johnson were the real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality. The series chronicles the unusual lives, romance and pop culture trajectory of Masters and Johnson.
Their research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a mid-western teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine and nearly a dozen appearances on Johnny Carson's couch.
