Obstetrics is an important discipline in a show about the study of sex. Season 1 focused largely on Bill Masters (Michael Sheen) and his wife Libby (Caitlin FitzGerald) struggling to conceive.
“Masters of Sex,” which premiered in September, averaged 4.8 million weekly viewers for each episode, up double digits versus the first season of “Homeland.” It was honored with Golden Globe and Writers Guild Award nominations.
