This series has both elements of hope and doom. It will either make you want to get a divorce, or reflect both roles leading up to ome.

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.

Stick with it...SJP is not the prettiest actress but she is so true to life and this series does have some laugh out loud moments.....SJP is the villain and if you take morality out of it than you can see why she had an affair. The husband gets better and you do start to emphasise with him a bit... any one who's ever been a couple will resonate with what both parties do in either seeking a little bit of revenge or at least how to alienate your partner...... I've only watched three episodes to date and not seen much of the children but I would say watch it as it's 25 minutes of loose entertainment with some real funny moments

The only reason to watch this series would be Sarah Jessica Parker, that is if you're a big fan (and like most Hollywood actors she could not resist some unfortunate face changing Botox). Otherwise the male lead (T.S. Church) is quite unbearable: really mediocre acting, miscast, boring and unlikeable character. The script is slow and tedious at least after the third episode. The husband's never ending angry comments are not only exaggerated and tasteless but delivered in a totally unconvincing manner. There is definitely no chemistry between the two and no hint of humour -which is too bad because SJP's kind of acting is generally better suited for romcoms. The story is in desperate need of something: a better rhythm, a different male protagonist, a better dialogue or at least a decent subplot but even that wouldn't be enough to save it. I don't think the series will last long.
