Marriage

I can only imagine the poor reviews are from people who haven't been in a long term relationship and can't understand the dynamic.

From the word go I was amazed by the subtlety of the acting and the reality of the writing. The argument on the plane was perfect and only made better when they held hands on takeoff.

Beautifully written and perfectly acted.

Wonderfully observed banality of everyday life and love. Superb characters and actors pushing the boundaries of what goes for normality and the resulting paranoia leaves one feeling like a voyeur. Great stuff. Ignore those that can't see this and just get disappointed by a slow burn.

Could of done with a car chase. A random unnecessary sex scene, a few explosions or even a kidnapping or two.

Don't understand where the low rating come from, its a well written and it banality is it's charm.

When Marriage was advertised on the BBC I said to my wife "That doesn't look very interesting " but. I like Sean Bean so we gave it a go.

What's it about ... well nothing really, a bit of jealousy, a difficult parent, a death and redundancy all mixed in to create a fly on the wall drama of a marriage.

The director was quite brave to show someone stacking a dishwasher in real time. Yet it is hypnotising, you get sucked into their world and want to know what happens next.

I understand a lot of people will get bored but I really enjoyed it.

I can understand the initial negative reviews for this show. I've never seen a show like it. Nothing happens and there are long periods where there's no dialogue. Anyone expecting car chases will be disappointed.

It's the most realistic portrayal of marriage Ive ever seen.

Sean Bean and Nicola Walker are absolutely stunning, the best in their field. I join others in hating the theme. I thought it was appalling. You grow to like the characters and their flaws. Sean Bean plays a somewhat pathetic character.

This show deserves kudos for the brilliant acting and the fact that it's so different. For those who wanted action it was like watching paint dry. For those who appreciate brilliant acting it was a Masterclass.
