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.July 17, 2014
I honestly can't figure out where Satisfaction goes from its overwrought premiere, and, worse than that, I don't particularly care.July 17, 2014
Satisfaction thus turns itself into a surprising drama about ethics, aiming to be more than a mere montage of climaxing clients.July 17, 2014
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.June 21, 2018
It goes against our common values, and even makes us question those values just a little. But I think that's what makes this show so fascinating.July 15, 2014
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.July 17, 2014
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.July 18, 2014
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.July 17, 2014
Satisfaction is sensitively written and acted; with characters that seem like real people going through conflicts that echo those of many adult viewers.July 17, 2014
[It] dives into some of the more uncomfortable sides of human nature and monogamy.July 17, 2014
I ended up liking Satisfaction a lot more than I thought I would, having been exhausted by USA's endless line of "buddy" comedies and dramas.July 17, 2014
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").
