I hated it and then it all came together in the last episode.

I thought the writing was great I think NW was mis cast though and I hate Sean Bean in everything as I can't get past the wife beating.

Have you watched any other Stefan Golaszewski stuff? If you have and you liked it then I’d say yes stick with it.

I thought the same, just not my cup of tea. I need something to happen and it just seemed like watching an ordinary and originally couple go about their daily life. Hardly riveting stuff. I know some people like that kind of fly on the wall type stuff, it reminded me of The Royle Family that everyone raved about but I thought it was so boring.

Guardian review says it's as boring as a long term marriage. Make of that what you will!

I’ve watched the first two but won’t watch any more. It was dire.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 17/08/2022 20:35

NO!! Awful.

Coastalcreeksider · 17/08/2022 20:37

I'm watching ep3 now but I just can't get into it. It's all silences and stilted conversation and Sean Bean is just so awkward all the time.

I'll carry on but I just can't see why it's being raved about.

That weird theme tune as well ...

sunshineandshowers40 · 17/08/2022 20:37

I've watched all 4 episodes and still aren't sure if it is worth the watch. Very slow, but also quite sad.

Coastalcreeksider · 17/08/2022 20:42

Thank goodness Shetland is on soon, I'll leave ep4 of Marriage till tomorrow now.

AnyFucker · 17/08/2022 20:44

I stuck with it and glad I did

MsTSwift · 17/08/2022 20:46

Why does he wear that awful coat? It looks like something a 90year old would wear

DangerouslyBored · 17/08/2022 20:47

Turned off after 15 minutes. Sean Bean was terrible, I found it embarrassing to watch, the lack of chemistry.

NW is great but always plays the same part, either a middle or working class version but generally always the same.

ZooMount · 17/08/2022 20:52

Got halfway through the second one and decided life was too short for that drivel.

PatsyJStone · 17/08/2022 21:03

Watched all four episodes, don't bother. Think trying to be a bit Alan Bennett, but really not succeeding. Nothing particularly exciting or thought provoking happening. Over acting, a bit too try hard and just doesn't work.
Think they both have acting skills but this isn't their best performance.
