SATISFACTION is from Universal Cable Productions (UCP) and executive producer/creator Sean Jablonski (SUITS, “Nip Tuck”). Michelle DeShon (“Hollywood Heights”), Katherine LaNasa (“The Campaign”) and Blair Redford (“Switched at Birth”) also star. Through the lens of one couple, Neil Truman (Matt Passmore, “The Glades”) and his wife, Grace (Stephanie Szostak, “The Devil Wears Prada”), this series answers the question, “What do you do when having it all is not enough?” by delving into their shocking and unconventional choices. Should be twice as good as one HBO show, shouldn’t it? Well…Ī provocative drama that explores modern marriage at its midpoint. Sounds a lot like HBO’s Hung, too, doesn’t it?

And when he finds himself in possession of said escort’s phone, he soon discovers the surprising number of rich single and married women prepared to pay him quite a lot of money for sex, too. Because along the way he discovers his unsatisfied wife, Stephanie Szostak ( Iron Man 3), is paying an escort for sex. Sounds a lot like HBO’s Enlightened with Laura Dern, doesn’t it? Every other channel just has to play catch-up.Ĭase in point is USA’s Satisfaction, which sees Matt Passmore ( The Glades) growing increasingly dissatisfied with his job and life before erupting in rage and giving it all up, hoping to seek enlightenment, before reclaiming his life. Since premium cable has the biggest budgets and the most creative freedom, it gets the best pitches and makes the most innovative shows. If it’s on premium cable, it’s liable to be top quality and have as much swearing, nudity and violence (aka ‘adult themes’) as your little heart desires if it’s on basic cable, it’s probably not going to be as good as premium cable, but it’s still likely to be a cut above the usual and then there’s the potluck of network TV at the bottom – could be good, could be bad, unlikely to be great.Īs a result, there’s something of a ‘trickle down’ effect with this pyramid.

There is something of a pyramid of US TV networks, which has premium cable at the top, basic cable in the middle and network at the bottom.
