Aside from an opening joke a about too few
bathrooms, a coffee canister and a garage, one of the most memorable parts of “Divorce”,
the new comedy series from HBO starring @SJP which aired last night on Showcase
in Australia, were the comments of the husband who has just found out his wife
has been cheating.
Robert calmly tells his wife "You know that
divorce you wanted? I want one too. But that sneaky, easy, friendly way that
you were hoping for - you can forget it. Because I'm going to make you
miserable, and more to the point, I'm going to make your children hate
you."
@samwollaston called it “a truthful depiction of
midlife discontent”, which we think sums up nicely a pilot episode which
included a woman trying to shoot her husband on her 50th birthday.
It will be interesting to see what else writer Sharon Horgan has in store for these
forty and fifty-something characters as the series unfolds. It’s sure to be
dark, funny and likely to touch a nerve or two. All the hallmarks of well written
