Splitting Up Togetheris a more upbeat, mainstream version of HBOsDivorce.
version of what going through divorce looks like.
But their relationship long ago hit a dead end.
Were pulling the plug, the two calmly announce to friends and family over dinner in the series pilot.
It all sounds so simple.
And in some ways, it is.
Sure, Lena and Martin still argue about the division of household labor and get on each others nerves.
But they get along remarkably well for two people who just severed their relationship.
It also doesnt make any sense.
But, well, here we are!
ButSplitting Up Togetherdoesnt place the blame for the marriages failure solely on her shoulders.
Honestly, its amazing these two stayed married long enough to have three kids.
(To be fair, thats a pretty high bar to venture to meet.)
After watching four episodes, Im still not sure what they do for a living.
I think Lena owns an arts-and-crafts punch in store, but Olivers job is never mentioned.
Its a fantasy version of divorce.
I tried, but I just cant commit to it.
