    I watched the next to last episode last night. What a farce! It is disjointed and goes nowhere. I have no interest in the season finale because it is obvious that it will be the same, leaving any resolution for a possible next season! Satisfaction gives me no satisfaction!

    "Satisfaction" provides me with no satisfaction! I am no prude and enjoy all kinds of sex, including various types of foreplay. Even having engaged with the first revelation type of sex that "Neil" (played by Matt Passmore) accidentally found Grace (played by Stephanie Szostak) sexually involved in with Simon, a young for hire escort (male prostitute), I still found this scene disgusting"Satisfaction" provides me with no satisfaction! I am no prude and enjoy all kinds of sex, including various types of foreplay. Even having engaged with the first revelation type of sex that "Neil" (played by Matt Passmore) accidentally found Grace (played by Stephanie Szostak) sexually involved in with Simon, a young for hire escort (male prostitute), I still found this scene disgusting in the context of the setup for the pilot for this series.
    How Neil could not have (after recovering from the initial shock) demanded an immediate divorce is beyond my comprehension. I would have never wanted to see Grace again, ever!
    She flatly betrayed Neil with no conceivable reason, rather than discuss her dissatisfaction
    with the weaknesses of many aspects of their marriage, all, or most of which could have been easily dealt with (or, corrected, or worked out in some other manner than resorting to infidelity) between two persons who clearly could have toe love that resulted in their marriage many years earlier.
    What of their daughter? Great example!
    I am disgusted and very angered with Neil's puny initial confrontation with Simon, Who Neil should have easily beaten the crap out of, with an elementary knowledge of martial art and his strong physical build.
    Finally, except for a long string of "enjoyable dalliances", how do the producers expect to resolve the issues in this series. Is it even worth watching? There can be no reasonable "satisfactory" ending to this series, except, perhaps a weak apology between Grace and Neil.
    This is a worthless, insoluble series with weak apologies with Neil and Grace resurrecting their very highly potentially very valuable marriage, probably never regaining the previous
    quality of their relationship, or a clear divorce end.
    I would never accept Grace again, as there is no excuse whatsoever for her indiscretion! Recall that Neil never had an affair prior to Grace's foolish action.
    Only a string-along for the audience interested in the sexual intrigues of the actors will save this series for awhile.
    I am already loosing interest in the series and the plastic characters performing in it.
    There cannot be "Satisfaction" in watching all of this. Good work USA channel and producers! Hope you make lots of money (in advertising, and perhaps residuals, of course) in spite of the collapse of this series.
    Again, No, I am not satisfied!    … Expand

    I am very disappointed in this show due to the juvenile shallow behavior of these so-called adults. I wish Hollywood would create shows with moral character. Haven't we seen enough immorality.

Haven't we seen enough immorality. Isn't anyone sick of it yet? Plus Neil is not even good looking. Grace is a slut. The only way they try to "fix" their problems is to fornicate as much as possible? The divorce rate in our country is high enough. This show encourages the breakdown of marriages at a time when our culture is trying to redefine marriage. Good grief, grow up. I'm tired of paganism and hedonism exhibited by the media.… Expand

    Poor Matt Passmore. Had a perfectly good crime drama gig that got cancelled and now he's on this piece of garbage. What's up with all of the shows about cheating and all of the central characters delving so deeply into their feelings? The show is all about infidelity and the dumbass that puts up with it. It's so unrealistic as to be laughable. Pretty much nothing that happens in the storyPoor Matt Passmore. Had a perfectly good crime drama gig that got cancelled and now he's on this piece of garbage.

    As of Sept 21, the last four shows have been droll slow boring and tedious. Too much slow shallow talking about boring things with boring energy. Zero spark. I thanked my remote, for fast forward.
    I really liked this show when it first came out, it had surprise suspense and drama going on a tight and free fall roll, then it splat, just stopped to a dull idle.

    Passmore was an engaging lead on "The Glades" and he is not bad here but the scripting of Satisfaction is leaden and unbelievable. Again, we’ve seen it before. And, at least in the premiere, there’s not enough entertainment value to see it again.

    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.

    Passmore's too bland to pull off the many dynamic emotional shifts Neil goes through, and the whole thing feels shapeless, providing little idea of how the series functions going forward.
