Though it tries your patience at times, this series is still worth a viewing. A fascinating character study that finds new ways to deal with sex, longing, jealousies, and all the subtleties of love. Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan are riveting. Dealing with sex from such a clinical perspective is like a new toy for the writers, and they've found places to bring these characters I have never seen before. Nuanced and seductive, it captures details of the era seldom seen on television. For someone born thirty years after the era, it is the closest thing to being there, at first portraying the era as a more innocent time, then gently plumbing the depths of the characters to show that all is not what it seems. This is not the Wonder Years. Highly recommended.
