Anybody else watching it? Amanda Peet is the best…the whale guy is a close second…the other female isn’t too far behind.

I’m watching- not sold on it yet but has some good parts.

Melanie Lynskey has really never been equal to her debut in Heavenly Creatures- I keep hoping that actress will show up in her roles but it could be that the roles she’s cast in don’t have that much potential. However, I did enjoy the couple trying something new in the bedroom scene in Ep 2. Fun times…

I haven’t checked it out yet, but plan to give it a shot despite my increasing Duplass fatigue.

Seriously, guys. You don’t have to be involved in _everything_.

It reminds me of Married. a sitcom on FX featuring a married couple in Los Angeles and their friends. Like Togetherness, the couple at the heart of the show are having marital and financial difficulties.

I saw the first episode and didn’t think it was particularly good or bad. Haven’t decided whether to give it another shot.
