Showtime just debuted a new series called Masters of Sex, starring Lizzy Caplan and Michael Sheen. It's been getting plenty of buzz and it's clear why: the show is based on the 2009 book of the same name, which delves into the lives and research of William Masters and Virginia Johnson, who started researching sexual behavior together in the 1950s.
