I see no discussion f this. I like the series but I am curious about how accurate the backstory is.

I watched the first few eps and liked it.
.
Had recently seen a BBC 3-part documentary, where Masters & Johnson were featured in one part.
Masters Of Sex seems a more detailed telling of the story.
.
To follow it better, I decided to wait and watch the shows in a marathon, later.
 
Okay, just finished season one.
Apparently it carries on next year.
It's more drama than documentary, which may suit you fine.
Since the series is from some book, I will assume the backstories are reasonably accurate.
I guess I'm engrossed, and look forward to marathoning it again next year.
 
Keke Palmer Joins 'Masters of Sex'

She will play Coral, a nanny hired by the Masters to care for their new baby. Masters of Sex stars Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as real-life pioneers of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson. The series chronicles their unusual lives, romance and pop culture trajectory.

Having a realistic black character in a series set in those days could be challenging.
Portraying the everyday racism won't be pretty.
.
But, I like the show, so I'm looking forward to seeing how it's handled. ;)
