Satisfaction: Season 1
C**2
Highly Recommended. Family dynamics theme. Check it out for yourself.
I earmarked this series as one I could fall back on when all my other shows ended their seasons. I was pleasantly surprised to find this highly entertaining. The concept is new and different and the writers did a good job of making it highly believable. The cast is well chosen with the two main characters having the sex appeal needed to pull off their roles. Good supporting cast as well. Check it out, I highly recommend it. There are a few sex scenes but nothing too graphic. Very little bad language either. The show revolves around a couple who have been married 16 years and have lost the sexual spark, which normally happens with couples married this long. They both lead busy lives and their relationship suffers. They have a teenaged daughter who adds to the family dynamics, being neglected by the dad, who is an important character to a teenaged daughter. Both husband and wife are distracted by relationships with other people. The wife pays a 'male escort' for sex and the husband discovers them together, thinking the wife is having an affair. On confronting the 'male escort' he discovers the truth. The husband, through a series of events, ends up playing the role of a 'male escort' himself. He gets too close to his female 'pimp', which leads to problems. As I said earlier in this review, I thoroughly enjoyed this show and I highly recommend it. Check it out for yourself.

This was an interesting show that kept me glued to my TV.
May be spoilers below.I recorded two new shows from this network. This was the second one I watched. I very much liked it.It is about a man, who decides his life needs to change. Right when he realizes this, things unfold for the man. Things with his wife lead him to do things he probably never thought he would do. Then, you get the feeling they love one another, until the story continues. Very interesting.I wondered though, what they would do to continue this story. I am very excited to find out. One of the most interesting, likeable shows I have seen. I have found a new favorite. Give it a try.I was sitting at my grandparents and started thinking about this show. If it were on something like, HBO, it would be a different show. You would be able to see and hear a lot more. But, the fact that it is on a network like USA, I think makes it better. It is what you do not hear that really leaves your imagination free to see and hear things in your own way. Fantastic job USA. This is a great new show.

Not What I Originally Expected... But Excellent
I saw the commercials and thought the premise of this show was ridiculous and that it would flop horribly. After the first few episodes-- I was hooked. They chose PERFECT actors for this show that make you "feel with them" and it does give us a look in to what happens behind closed doors...... The plot isn't original, it's honest and edgy. If you live in the land of "sunshine and unicorns"-- you may not like it. If you are a realist that isn't lost on the fact that over 50% of couple cheat-- give it a try! It's something different!

Solid good Modern (Post-Modern
Solid good Modern (Post-Modern?) series for our times.Makes you think about Life and choices & our level of commitment to our choices. Are we brave enough to escape? To even think about it?Are you?Love that he really did give that speech in conference room and that it wasn't a tired 'dream moment'. He dodged bullet and then later grabbed the gun himself.Nice to have a show that shows women's needs/wants and that pays attention to our sex drives.Like Matt in FL show he shot; he's great in this too. Lots of places to go with this premise and actors are great so far. Great show for Atlanta market. As an actor I divide my time between L.A. (hometown) & Atlanta & NY now, so would love to work on this --spoiler alert--Ending: you hope he goes in and f*cks her! Perfect ending is for him to see she was reaching out to Simon, but he can give her the goods too. One great screw won't solve all their problems, but in my experience, it never hurts either.... ;)

I've enjoyed feeling unsympathetic towards these effete upper middle classers
Although I'm partial to Matt Passmore's character in Glades...I've enjoyed feeling unsympathetic towards these effete upper middle classers.Their trials and tribulations are pathetic...and Neil's attempts at "finding meaning" has no sincerity. (I love the monk though...wicked funny he is)All in all it's a wonderful cliche of what those with upper wealth are "suffering". poor babies...give away all your wealth and belongings.....live on the street for a couple of years...would do you some good.As aggravating as this show is...I'll keep watching...isn't that sick?

Topnotch Acting, Writing and Directing
Amazon has the star listed incorrectly; Matt Passmore is the star of this very polished show. He brings such believable acting to everything I have seen him in. Actually all the acting is topnotch and the subject is a welcome change to other dramas. Deep at the core it is celebrating the unique contributions that each person can bring to their relationships. It is honoring individuality and intelligent inner thinking. Well done to all involved, they really need to keep shows like this running for many seasons!
