I'd forgotten that THC was in it. I'll watch him watching paint dry any day. Love THC. I didn't think it was depressing, at least not unrealistically so. The show is called Divorce, so I expect downer themes and scenarios. But it also managed to have funny moments. I think THC is perfectly cast. He's someone who's mere presence is comedic, even when the lines he's delivering aren't funny. Interesting how they've made him look like a stodgy old fogey. I think of him as the oversexed goofy permanent adolescent.
What surprised me is that Frances, the main character, came across as a d*ck, only because she expressed her love for the Aussie, which turned out to be silly, and right after telling her husband she didn't love him, only to then do an about face with the husband after the Aussie snubbed her. Made her look sleezy and self centered, to the point I was siding with the husband when he locked her out.
I thought the first episode was realistic, showing how couples in failing marriages are, how cruel they can be to each other, and how things can turn on a dime.
