Not sure why it took so long for me to get around to watching this series. I guess I kind of thought it was some dry humor thing set in New York City. It's not. Based on a novel, it's a limited series about a man getting a divorce. It's also about a woman who's not sure she wants a divorce. It's about raising children, facing middle life, being Jewish, finding happiness, making peace with the life you have chosen, figuring out what love is ... and so much more. Actors are great (although Jesse Eisenberg's frenetic patter is beginning to feel a little old). The story is compelling and identifiable and not too dark. It's just very real. There are some knowing smiles along the way. It was a worthwhile weekend binge.
