More Critic Reviews for Togetherness Season 1 All Critics (43) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (40) | Rotten (3) The series has a sharp take on the anxieties of being in one's late '30s. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review… Tom Conroy Media Life Top Critic Togetherness spruces up the sexless marriage plot by being particularly attuned to the female point of view. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review… Willa Paskin Slate Top Critic Togetherness... quickly blossoms into a deeply enjoyable series that is as heartfelt and honest as it is funny. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Togetherness is indeed one of those "observational" shows that purport to draw the comedy from the shallow depths of shallow lives, except that these lives aren't exactly shallow, nor are they always comical. Jan 9, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Jay and Mark Duplass make watching everyday life not only exciting and affecting, but also joyously unique. Jan 9, 2015 | Rating: A | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The balance of comedy and character drama in Togetherness is remarkable. Jan 8, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic There's a sweetness and familiarity underneath all the mid-life crises that causes us not only to relate to these seemingly ordinary people, but also to want to follow every step of their seemingly ordinary lives. Mar 7, 2017 | Full Review… Patricia Garcia Vogue The ordinariness of it all makes it compellingly relatable. Sep 13, 2016 | Full Review… Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) Even in its first four episodes (with a current eight-episode order, that's half of the season), Togetherness displays some unshakable charms, particularly when it comes to Peet's work as Tina, which is the highlight of the series so far. Jan 9, 2015 | Full Review… Kate Erbland Film School Rejects There is, like so many of the shows in this indie comedy wave, a sense of great intimacy to Togetherness, as if we're spying on these people as they watch their lives fall apart and try to reassemble them. But there's also assured storytelling. Jan 9, 2015 | Rating: A- | Full Review… Alan Sepinwall HitFix View All Critic Reviews (43) Audience Reviews for Togetherness: Season 1 AldoG Super Reviewer Surprisingly a refreshing comedy drama about a dysfunctional family joined by the husband's friend and the wife's sister. It may seem dull at the first glance but it's actually a heartwarming drama full of hope and dreams.
