    Season 01: Very satisfying

    Both have done outstanding job. The separate life they have developed, and the chemistry that once those _characters_ shared but now don't is portrayed very beautifully _with_ chemistry between actors.

    Have to say it: Rosamund Pike. Divine.

    Will watch again.

    State of the Union: 1 good season 1 bad season

    State of the Union follows a couple who meet in a pub immediately before their weekly marital therapy session. Each episode pieces together how their lives were, what drew them together, and what has started to pull them apart. Season 1 is pretty good. It follows Tom and Louise, who are trying to figure out how to do their marriage work if they even can. Both characters are complicated and relatable. And Chris O'Dowd and Rosamund Pike have great chemistry. Season 2, on the other hand, is hard to watch. It is just two people fighting. I didn't like the characters or care if they made it work or not. Plus, it was basically the same every episode. They also tried to add in extra characters, and there just isn't enough time in ten-minute episodes for more than two characters. Brendan Gleeson is a great actor, but he doesn't have much to work with. It was so bad I don't imagine I would watch a third season.

    Season 1: 8 Season 2: 4.

    Total rating : 7.

    Hilarious & Brilliant.

    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.

    Really Enjoyable

    Everything about the show is great but one thing that kind of bothered me is the low amount of sequence shots and crazy amount of cuts in the cafe scenes. Considering the episodes are only ten minutes long, I don't know why didn't opt in for more continuity. The cuts honestly distracted me a lot. But at least this gets better after episode seven.

    Regardless, everyone should give the show a try, whole season is 100 minutes and worth every minute.

    10 for season 1 ZERO for season 2 = 5 rating from me

    WHY!?!?! PERFECT season 1 + WOKE season 2 = RUINED my favorite series.

    Why does Hollywood insist on destroying a great thing just to push liberal agenda down everyone's throat? It doesn't work. Disappointed. Sad. Another one bites the dust.
