    Diagonaldi Very well executed
    Nonureva Really Surprised!
    InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
    Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
    RileyOnFilm After watching two series of this show, I find myself quite invested and almost sad it was not renewed for a third season. The Duplass brothers really created a touching world here that takes us into the lives of its characters.In a marriage, things can get stale and it's up to the 2 spouses to breathe life back into it. It can be challenging. That's the position we see Mark Duplass' character go through with his wife. Both actors play these topics incredibly well. They are believable and I almost felt as if I was there with them playing Mark's role, trying to get the sparks back into my marriage and failing.There is a lot of ridiculous stuff here that's wonderful as well. A puppet show based on 'Dune' is one example. The Duplass brothers have a way of making childlike fun out of real world serious situations. Amanda Peet is at an all time career high here. I would have loved to see more episodes from her character alone. All the characters left me deeply invested and hers was equally so. I've seen her in several films and I think this was her best character yet.I recommend this for anyone with small kids or just getting into a relationship. Apart from that, you may or may not like it. As for me? I'm almost sad it's been cancelled but I sure enjoyed the 2 seasons they managed to produce.
    asc85 Although the critics loved this show, I was a little wary of watching it, due to the fact that I strongly disliked Mark Duplass both in "Safety Not Guaranteed" and "Your Sister's Sister." The fact that he wasn't just acting in it but was one of the creator's made me feel like this wasn't going to be a fit for me. However, the show is fantastic. Amanda Peet, as the wild, unmarried sister is the best of the four leads, in my opinion. One of my favorite songs in college was the song, "Slit Skirts" by Pete Townshend. Although I liked it, it was difficult for me to understand everything that the song meant until I revisited the lyrics 20 years later. It's about growing older and more specifically, dealing with love and sex as you get older. I've heard lots of different theories about what best describes "Togetherness," but for me, that's what this show is primarily about. Actually, working "Slit Skirts" into one of these episodes down the road would be serendipitous. Are the Duplass brothers listening?
    Danny Blankenship HBO has scored another winner with this new series from brothers Mark and Jay Duplass it's called "Togetherness" and it's about the life and relationships of two couples one married one not all living under the same roof. It's a funny comedy drama that shows how people differ in life and true life is up and down with struggle and uncertain. Set in Los Angeles married couple Brett(Mark Duplass) and Michelle(Melanie Lynskey) have two small children and their marriage is rocky especially in the bedroom as Michelle is insecure and a little different and it's tough for Brett to come home after his hard work on movie sound stages and make hot passion! Now enter Brett's best friend from school Alex(Steve Zissis)a guy who's near 40 and he's watched his acting dreams fade away to nearly no jobs at all after getting out of shape as now only off beat advertisement companies call for his service! Now enter the sugar and spice of the series and that's Michelle's younger sister Tina(the always hot and sexy Amanda Peet)who follows big sister out to L.A. and this blunt free spirited colored bra wearing woman still can not find the right guy for some reason! Will Alex be her man? Overall wonderful series that's funny showing that life, sex, love, and family is all a challenge and a struggle that's worth it and it shows how each person is so different still different people have to interact with one another to find love. "Togetherness" is one series that should keep all together in a fun happy way!
    Fernando Conti First of all, I don't ever have to see another glance of Melanie Lynskey's bosom. The director seems to want to throw that in every 2 minutes. It is inappropriate and has nothing to do with the story, only seems there to bump ratings.Second, what is Amanda Peet doing in a mediocre TV series like this? Apart from having much more star power her character is not very plausible. She gets dumped in the first episode by some loser schmuck although - with a better makeup artist - she is still a stunning woman that can have her pick of any man she wants.Then finally, the story arch's are not interesting. I don't care about these people and there little problems. Producers: please stop wasting money on bad scripts and show runners that want to make a quick buck.
