I should know better than to base an opinion off of one hour, but the previews – this time – didn't fool me. Maybe after I binge watch the entire season I'll feel differently. Now they're both just on a.what? Sexual adventure to make sure one last time they've chosen their forever home? Grace walked through that door already as well. Neil admitted he learned a lot about himself. Neil and Grace sowing their wild oats before they ultimately decide to return to one another, as that's what they have both decided they want anyway. I could be entirely wrong, but I'm expecting a far more outward (read: sex-fueled) journey than the one Neil experienced while visiting with the Zen master during Satisfaction Season 1. Why did she skip the trip to Milan? Is she in the middle of a tit for tat with Neil? Wasn't that how this all got started in the first place? Adriana's motives have always been a little more transparent than Grace's, the latter of whom is difficult to understand. The most unexpected alliance of the season will likely come as a result of Grace and Adriana. But he was unaware of the relationship between Grace and Adriana. It was a decent twist that it took a gun for the truth to start pouring out, and pleasing that once Neil started, he was unable to ebb the flow of reveals. It was fun discovering, at long last, exactly what went down when Mallory's husband showed up, how the blood got into the pool and how the secrets were spilled. They are going to put the lovely Stephanie Szostak into fetish wear very quickly, after all.

This was always a series about adultery and business of buying sex, so tossing in a little bit of violence, like Simon roughing up Adriana (he's a peach) and the idea his family might be a bunch of wealthy, but ruthless, types puts Satisfaction on par with other evening soaps. Passmore bought into Neil's journey of self discovery, but while he was filming, he didn't seem to believe that journey included being with Grace.Īnd honestly? That's fine. Now, when Neil was out at the music festival and tossing the band manager on the bed in the bus or giving Victor a piece of his mind at the office? Those words rang true. Even Matt Passmore didn't seem as though he was convinced Neil really wanted that life anymore. Not Grace's as shown above nor Neil's when he earlier exclaimed to Adriana, "I want Grace! I want my life back!" He wasn't believable because the words were hollow in their delivery. While watching "Satisfaction.Through Release," I found myself pushing back at both Neil and Grace. But if you kill the spark, so goes the discussion. It was an interesting way to open dialog about lackluster relationships and keeping the spark alive. It was easy to understand where the characters were coming from, even when their choices were dramatic and edgy.

It was the adult side of the conversation that was so very enjoyable about the series and felt different than everything else on television. To keep Neil and Grace together in any way would probably have been considered a bore by most people. Satisfaction has been pegged as sexy, racy and pushing the boundaries of traditional marriage since it hit the air. Simon was just a door for me to try and find this part of myself. Let's just not make this messier than it is. Simon was just a door for me to try and find this part of myself so I could come back into our marriage and fight for us. Neil: I'm still hoping we find our way back. Neil: I was terrified that if we talked, I mean really talked, that everything we were would end. And the verdict is right here in this quote:
