Great realistic dialogue and great chemistry between Rosamund Pike and Chris O'dowd. Half of me wants more episodes that are longer and where we follow them into the counseling session. The other half of me is satisfied with these short snapshots into the life of a married couple trying to save their marriage.

Fast paced and purely entertaining from start to finish. The moment an episode ends, it'll leave you wanting more! Great performances and brilliant writing.

State of the Union

This was masterful writing, whilst we had two actors on screen seemingly representing two characters, there was in actuality very little or no differentiation between them, this was in fact, a soliloquy for two (duiliquy), or if you like a "talking head" in the form of an Alan Bennett monologue.

There was one single stream of sparkling undifferentiated thought ruminating over trust, betrayal, relationships and the human condition, split equally between the two protagonists. It was all served up using the device of metaphors often instigated by a single simple incident.

The chemistry was palpable between the two leads it was endearingly delightful, and they emanated the half of a whole relationship throughout.

Of course this is aimed at a very sophisticated viewer, the concerns expressed were the anxieties of the metropolitan bourgeoisie.

Brilliant writing, brilliant acting, brilliant directing 10/10

Much like everything is life relationships require maintenance and communication. Both authentic lead performance roles reflect the reality of a long term coupling. Occasionally partners & friends get lost in the fog of time. Some people decide that this is a sign of a terminal decline; whilst others voice their inner feelings and try to resolve the impasse. There are just two camps : (stay) putters and leavers. I can strongly empathise with both characters in this show. Neither wants to cast the other overboard. By talking things through most issues can be overcome. Sadly in reality some people don't want to make the effort. I'm glad Chris & Rosamund did. A ten episode ten minute snapshot of their journey ensues.

I found this series brilliant - refreshing, smartly written and presented, on point and dipped in the most delicious British humor.

It's the story of a couple who've hit a tough spot and start going to a therapist. We see their interaction in the 10 minutes before going in for their weekly sessions.

In the beginning I was extremely curious about what was going on in the therapist's office, hoping we would get a peak into what was being aired in there, but as the series evolved I felt more and more pulled in by the characters, their honesty and my appreciation for what we were being shown grew.

I started noticing and loving the fact that we only see what is actually relevant, the way in which the couple's rapport evolves in real life, in between sessions, family, work and all else. I felt like we were seeing what is actually most relevant, what these two people have to say to each other when it's just the two of them. Beyond the drama and the life they've built how do they actually connect to each other, communicate, miscommunicate, what do they feel about their lives together when all is said and done?

I loved the main characters, the actors' interpretation of them, the idea, the length of the episodes, the way they related to/mirrored the other couples coming out of the therapist's office.

This series showcases beautifully, humorously and matter-of-factly subtle personal, couple dynamics that we all use to cope with life's disappointments and unexpected turns. And it does so without wasting any time ;)

2 people, 2 different vision on life together... and a 3rd character: divorce knocking at the door. 10 short but nice conversations, where little alcoholic drinks become "the glue" that makes you ask yourself each brake (between those 10 conversations) if they will finally stay together or not.

Here is a splendid format for witty dialog, exceptional acting, a new premise, thoughtful skillful writing. The first season was good, the second exceeds that marvelously. Patricia Clarkson is among the best and Brendan Gleeson is wryly surprising. This is some of the best TV ever.

These two display more on camera chemistry in 9 minutes than many other couples muster over multiple seasons of a show.. my god. What a quirky, charming and poignant work.
