Set in a high class brothel this new series creates a hyper reality whereby we are privy to the private lives and emotions of five beautiful young women.
Seen as a sort of midlife-crisis Risky Business - with a grown-up instead of a teenager learning to say "What the heck?" - the show has its funny and sexy moments.
Provocative and sexily surprising, reminiscent at times of HBO's Hung, only more entertaining than depressing, the Trumans' story plays out with a funny-sad poignancy that rings true even when some of the details feel off.
In general, Satisfaction's pilot does a nice job of illustrating the frustrations that both Trumans have without damaging any interest we might have in them as a married couple.
Nice to finally see a show nailing what it wants to be and say, in continually discerning work from Passmore, Szostak and series creator Sean Jablonski ("Nip/Tuck").
Satisfaction is sensitively written and acted; with characters that seem like real people going through conflicts that echo those of many adult viewers.
I have to admit I've not been this intrigued by a pilot in a long time. Delving into the depths of middle age and marriage, even with a somewhat unrealistic bent, is a gutsy move for USA Network.
Where the classic USA drama has been clean, light and almost always buoyant even when it deals with serious issues, Satisfaction has an air of restless trouble. That's the goal, and the show is well made.
