Watchseries; Another bland Hollywood melodramatic series that has no identity. The acting is fine but I feel like this show is that teenager who read their first Poe snippet and now thinks that they're deeper than the ocean.
This show is shallow. It lacks perception. It takes itself WAY too seriously without offering any substance in the characters. Was expecting so much more and left empty. Not sure what others are watching to give a 7.9 right now.

Scenes from a Marriage watchseries. Not fully sure yet what to think but it's definitely not a 3 like someone like else reviewed it. Oscar Isaac is easily one of my favorite actors so that already got me interested before release he's perfect for a drama series like this! The writing and acting seems smooth; might not get enough appreciation but I think it's got a glorious start that deserves a chance. HBO hardly ever has a bad series in my opinion and impossible for them to be over the top unless it was deliberate like a comedy regardless I love the pilot!
I had my hopes up. Good cast, HBO, all that. Have to admit, I dont know the original, but maybe that's a plus sometimes. Got snacks, a drink ready to immerse myself in hopefully a future classic. It started alright, acting was great, cinematography good, nothing wrong there. But after a while, during the dinner with friends scene I was getting more and more annoyed. I just didnt care for these people and I thought they were adults behaving like emotionally underdeveloped, egotistical highschoolers. And yes, some people are like that, fair enough, but why would I watch that voluntairaly in my spare time?
Now usually there is an overarching plot, a developing story that gives you at least a reason to keep watching. Nothing like that here, just people complaining how hard it all is for them without any respite. Now I dont care if this is true to the original or not. Darn, that series was from 1973 so I feel its completely fair to judge this product on its own merit, and after 40 minutes I really couldnt think of a reason to keep watching this and turned it off.
If you ever wonder why we are divided as a county just watch the first episode. People like this actually exist and only travel in their own circle. They way they communicate, how they speak and what they feel is important is baffling to the average American. The acting is very good but I 100% can't and wouldn't want to be alone with these people.
He is a philosophy professor who does not know the difference between description and definition. She is some high end tech exec with the decisiveness of a paper bag. They are emotionally stunted and cannot handle anything. They are monsters of entitlement and what does this have to do with Bergman (not that he was not a monster of entitlement, but his characters were a bit better thought through)
Both Jessica and Oscar are so eye opening so amazing making these 2 characters so alive so genuine so far this is a definitely amazing show GOOD JOB HBO!!!
