Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Dreadfully Boring

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I started watching the series Divorce with expectation of a comedy. The actors and the theme seemed promising. I should tell you that in just 4-5 series I stopped watching it. Don't take me wrong. I do appreciate the labour and the efforts of everyone working on this series and that's why I will tell you exactly what I didn't like: 1. While I was watching, I thought that almost each character is lobotomised. I can't believe that all of them are represented as irresponsible and reckless and at the same time - so dear, sad, sensitive and nice. These features of person's character are not compatible. Watching the main character in Divorce was like you are watching children who have adult problems - scared, naive and helpless at the same time. 2. You can learn nothing new in "Divorce". Its not a comedy, but a deep, deep drama with no answers to real life. To me it was total waste of time.I wouldn't mind give it a chance if you change the main 3 actors - Parker, Tracy Letts, Talia Balsam.

Over the course of the first season, there is a massive shift in tone. The first few episodes are sweet, charming, funny, and full of heart. By the end of the season, the show is dark and the characters become flat and unlikable, even loathsome. The first 3 episodes were written and directed by the same people, but as others step in to take over these roles, the dynamic of the show is irreversibly altered, and for the worse. The original writer steps back in for the last two episodes, but by then, it is too late, and the damage has been done. The relatability of the characters has been completely removed and the connection to the audience is lost. Rather than having hope for the characters, both the main characters and supporting cast, the viewer is left hoping they would all just perish in a fiery car crash. I, for one, will not be tuning in for the second season.

I stuck with it for the season finale, but I wish I had not. These characters are poorly written, unlikable , not very interesting- and annoying for the most part. I was OK with Robert in the beginning, he was quirky and spontaneous- funny sense of humor. His absurd social random outbursts make me wonder if he has high functioning autism? His often lack of empathy at odd moments is too random. Francis is where it all goes bad for me. She's a married woman having an affair in the first episode, tells her husband at a party (no less) that she wants a divorce, changes her mind when her lover rejects her because he likes things the way they are in his life. It's difficult to like anything about her. Even the kids were unlikable for the first couple of episodes. Her lover "Julian" unlikable. Unless someone can promise me a war of the roses ending I won't be back for season two- this fiasco's likely final season.

When Divorce came out I read a review comparing it with creator Sharon Horgan's other series, Catastrophe, and wound up checking out that one before Divorce. I haven't quite decided what I think of it, but there's a great chemistry between the leads and some good jokes.While some critics seemed to consider Divorce a fitting follow up, it only has the somewhat depressing aspects of Catastrophe, which can feel a little claustrophobic, without the jokes or the good chemistry.In this series, incomprehensibly billed as a comedy, a woman fed up with her husband decides she wants a divorce. She's a very unsympathetic character who is full of resentment and goes back and forth on the divorce in a very dishonest way. I thought she was awful, but then, so was everyone else. The first episode of the series was absolutely nothing but awful people being awful, each in their own, awful way.I wouldn't say this is a really terrible show. The acting is competent. The writing is economical. There are occasional moments of a sort of sour wit. But I certainly wouldn't want to spend any more time with these people.
