The story of the impeachment of President Bill Clinton in 1998 for ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’. The charges for which Clinton was impeached stemmed from a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones and from Clinton’s testimony denying that he had engaged in a sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

The series explores the research and the relationship between William Masters and Virginia Johnson, two pioneering researchers of human sexuality at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Indeed, it’s down these side streets, casting a brief light on a passing character (patients, prostitutes, a provost’s wife), that the show finds many of its best moments.
