Togetherness - new HBO series (1 Viewer)

[Wingnut]

Just watched the first 5 or so episodes on demand...I kind of dig it.

Anyone else watching?

Yeah I enjoy it.

It's decent, but I don't love it. There was one really funny episode, the one where the wife does the dominatrix thing. I think I'm one episode behind.

Not must watch, but entertaining in its way. Noone on the show is blowing it away, but they're all pretty good. But then again, I don't think the actors are playing characters that would have any reason to blow it away. There's been a couple of really good rants/monologues/scenes. Standard Duplass brothers fare. Solid and muted.

Mark Duplass is weird....I really don't care for his character/delivery in The League....but I've like it him in just about everything else he's done.

I've caught at least parts of every episode so I'm not a great barometer... trying to get into it but I just don't think I like the story lines at all. I expected to laugh a lot more at the mushrooms stuff in the last episode and I just really didn't.

I dig it. I think it's (purposely) honest and uncomfortable. Again, not "blown away by it", but at 30 minutes, it's in my rotation

It reminds me of that Fx show married that was on a year or two ago. Funny enough and shows ####### so I'll keep tuning in.

I get what it is trying to do, but that sex scene with the husband and wife in the hotel room trying to reconnect sexually was so unpleasant (on purpose I know), it kind of turned me off to future viewing.

I agree that it's decent but certainly not great. I'm interested in what happens to the Brett and Michelle characters but not the others.

Decent first episode of the 2nd season.  Think my initial assessment still holds true.

This is a good show. Best I've ever seen Amanda Peet.

Just started watching this and enjoying it.  Makes up for that fail of a show called Vinyl.

HBO didn't renew it for a 3rd season

 

[belljr]

:(

  on the cancellation.  I felt like it was just hitting its stride.  Love the characters and the honesty.

I'm disappointed by the cancellation. Very authentic show.
