Ellen DeGeneres serves as executive producer of this comedy that is based on a Danish series of the same name. Lena and Martin were certain enough that their marriage was over to make it official and go through the complicated untangling involved in filing for divorce. The last thing that they expected was to be brought back together by the experience, but they find their relationship strangely reignited by the experience. Together, they navigate their evolving relationship with open minds and newly reopened hearts.
Splitting Up Together — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Splitting Up Together tries to make light of divorce, but its commitment to genre tropes keeps it from being very fun or funny, despite the always charming Jenna Fischer's best efforts.

Best of all is [Jenna] Fischer, who was the normal soul of The Office and has a satisfying way of commanding attention without asking for it, of seeming not to act, which is of course ... acting. Go to Full Review Jen Chaney New York Magazine/Vulture 03/29/2018
It's a fantasy version of divorce. I tried, but I just can't commit to it. Go to Full Review Caroline Framke Vox 03/28/2018
3/5
As Fischer ably proves, she's been long overdue her own spotlight, so she's gonna make the most of what she gets. Go to Full Review Calum Henderson New Zealand Herald 04/23/2018
This is what happens when you try to adapt something remotely edgy for a network (ABC in the US) and timeslot that requires not only bleeping out the F-word put pixelating the swearee's mouth when they say it. Go to Full Review Ashley Bulayo The Young Folks 04/02/2018

Of course, each show needs to find its niche, but there are some shows that will make you want more and Splitting Up Together isn't one of these shows yet as it still hasn't found its footing. Go to Full Review Kimberly Roots TV Line 03/29/2018
Consider it conscious uncoupling for the somewhat financially strapped set. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

08/03/2020 The only positive thing I can say is that I absolutely want to live in their Craftsman house. Has anyone else who's watched this show wondered what it would take to get such a house? Because for whatever problems Lena and Martin have, they seem to spend virtually no time working. See more 05/12/2019 Cute show! Hopefully ABC doesn't cancel it so flippantly and they give it a chance to gain its footing. See more 04/21/2019 This is an experience. I really love the show and the though in it. See more 01/12/2019 Quirky fun. I actually don't think it would be quite as good without Oliver Hudson and Jenna Fisher. See more 09/29/2018 I love this show so far and can't wait for the next season. I love the story of making light of people divorcing. The writing and story's bare hilarious.
