SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

aj Somewhere in the deep recesses of heaven a light shines, and the god of TV says, "Man, I knew I should've sterilized that character at birth!" At its heart, this show is about a man too selfish to get out of his own way. His selfishness infects everyone, and they become hyper-needy. There's a lot of talent in this show. I hope the main character grows up soon, because I'm losing my patience. This show provides the view of life you don't want to explore, a life so selfish all joy gets smothered. In my opinion this show needs a female EP, and a sharp-witted female co-write. It's proof positive that men really DO NEED female friends. Darn, and I was really going to try and use humor to soften the blow. The characters are lovable... if you've got the patience of a saint!. ;-)

Mikey N As a big fan of the Duplass brothers I consider this to be their - and longtime friend/collaborator Steve Zissis - greatest production yet. Me and the Ms. really long for the episodes to get released, and savor the experience once we get to follow the life of the Piersons and their friends."Togetherness" feels real, on every level. From laughter to sorrow I feel with all of the characters in everything that happens in their lives. I haven't seen a relationship portrayed this real since Blue Valentine with Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams.The relationship between the Piersons is what keeps the show together, its gravity if you will. But it takes the turbulent relationship between Alex (Zissiz) and Tina (Amanda Peet does the role of her life here) to really make the show shine. The chemistry between the actors is almost magical, and the balance between the characters so well scripted it hurts. At the time of writing this there's only one episode left of the second season, and all of the ones released so far have been fabulous. I read in an interview that the script for the third season is pretty much done, as long as HBO is interested to renew. I really hope that this'll happen, 'cause shows don't get any better than this.

Aktham Tashtush So the show is weirdly funny ,, the relationship between the couple Brett and Michelle is a bit complicated to understand at first . the comedy stands between Alex and Tina ,, "Steve Zissis" is really hilarious, the Drama in the show conceal the comedy in many scenes, between a sexless marriage and a midlife crisis the show will lose the laughs, i'm a man of science so let me say that the average of laughs per episode so far is 1.02 no more ;) i don't really get where this plot will lead to !! a cheating (i hope not)!! or maybe a new love plot between Alex and Tina !! unpredictable in a good way.... the nudity is cool but still is misplaced in some scenes "like when Tina shows her boobs to Larry (Peter Gallagher) and ask him if her top goes fine with her Jeans" !! i mean ..i was like .. okay .. then what !!! anyway,, since the show has been renewed for 2nd season i hope the writers gives us more comedy bits , and who knows ! maybe HBO will find a way to a 3rd season. "Mark Duplass" is in FX comedy "The League" i mean he should bring us some of that ... :)

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?
