State of the Union

State of the Union

2019 English 2 Seasons TV-MA

Trailer

Winner of three Emmy® Awards, this star-studded series from writer/creator Nick Hornby and director Stephen Frears is a witty take on contemporary relationships. Each 10-minute episode is set immediately before a couple has their weekly marital therapy session. Unacknowledged and unanalyzed, these stolen moments may help build bridges back to what made them what they were. Acclaimed actors Rosamund Pike and Chris O’Dowd star in Season 1, with Brendan Gleeson and Patricia Clarkson in Season 2. “Delightfully wry, bittersweet comic drama” —The Wall Street Journal.
