Splitting Up Together (2018–2019)
5/10
Truly a fence sitter on this one
1 April 2018
It has potential because I am neither completely turned off nor excited for the next episode to come out. As someone who was in this situation back in 2008 (in addition to having a shared business decimated by the recession as well), I'm both annoyed I didn't write this series & concerned that I'll nitpick any holes I see in the story. For example (too general to be a spoiler) ... when Lena gets the text, there was no lead-up to show that there was any possibility of it being from a potential male suitor. And when the splitting couple says they hadn't had sex in 2 years, I find it hard to believe that there was no cheating (or agreed open marriage). I don't think my ex cheated either, but it was 3-4 months not 2 years. Maybe I'm not "in the know" about the realities out there with other couples, but this seems unbelievable to me. And even with fiction, I think you have to have a believability factor unless you're going for parody, farce, etc.
