Available on
With each episode just 10 minutes, British director Stephen Frears and writer Nick Hornby deliver an exacting, fleeting and excruciatingly funny examination of a marriage in crisis. In the first series Chris O’Dowd and Rosamund Pike were razor sharp as a couple reeling from her affair. In the second, Patricia Clarkson and Brendan Gleeson shine despite their looming divorce.
