The spark in parents Brett and Michelle Pierson's marriage is all but extinguished. When his best friend, out-of-work actor Alex, and Michelle's sister Tina move in with the Piersons in Los Angeles, the four adults try to remain good friends/siblings/spouses while achieving their personal goals: Sound designer Brett, pushing 40, wants to rediscover himself; Michelle wishes to rekindle passion for life; Tina tries to get her bounce-castle business off the ground; and Alex takes yet another shot at an acting career.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Togetherness is a delightful surprise that interweaves day-to-day life with moving, dramatic characters who have an affinity for deprecating, squirmy humor.

Togetherness immediately establishes itself as something that could be pretty special, with seven more episodes to bear it out. Go to Full Review

Togetherness perfectly straddles the dramedy lines, but such is life - some moments make you cry-laugh and others just make you full-on cry. Go to Full Review
Patricia Garcia Vogue 03/07/2017
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. Go to Full Review
Alison de Souza The Straits Times (Singapore) 09/13/2016
The ordinariness of it all makes it compellingly relatable. Go to Full Review

The dark humor found in people behaving badly and in painfully recognizable ways - humor that hits a little too close to home. Go to Full Review

Alfred B @RT25736031 Sep 2 Shockingly bad. A mystery why there are good reviews. I watched the whole thing out of respect for what the Duplass brothers have done in the past, but this show sickened me. Four unlikeable characters, swaddled in privilege, weak, indecisive, irresponsible, relentlessly whiny… we’re supposed to feel something for these characters, yet each episode only adds some new reason to be disgusted and by them. Oh, and spectacularly unfunny too. See more 05/23/2020 Wow. Hollywood has done it again in splitting up american families. First women want to stay at home with their children while the dads work to provide for their families, then women want to, "be equal," so they complete collage and obtain awesome jobs, then they want to be equal at home with the children, so they become unhappy with their decisions and cheat on their husbands and its OKAY because they are justified. I am by no means masculinist, but please stop polluting America with this propaganda and get back to ethics and make American families stay together!!!! See more 05/30/2017 The pilot felt a little different from the rest of the season, at least to me. But it was still good, despite not being exactly what I wanted. There was something else I was gonna say about that, but forgot. I liked the second and fourth episodes a little less than the rest, and the third episode not as much as any of the rest of the episodes. The second half of the season definitely felt different than the first. Also, this wasn't necessarily bad, but there was a sequence in episode five that felt a little out of place, or maybe just not like something the Duplass brothers would do. It was obvious, well actually made it more obvious, that it was from a different director. The only episode not directed by them. Oh, and also, the end of the season (mostly talking about the last episode, and mostly mostly talking about the last scene/sequence/couple of minutes) was a bit weird, and different from the rest, and but still I'm excited for Season 2. See more 02/02/2017 All of the characters in this show are annoying See more 03/08/2016 The complaint has been out there for years that men do not write for women very well. Well the Duplass brothers don't know how to write men at all. By that I mean that they write such weak willed, uptight, morose, barely alive, male characters that they could hardly be described as men. They write men with the testosterone levels of a depressed, alcoholic 1st grader. It should be referred to as "Togetherness" due to the assimilation of these males into the female gender so that we may all be one... a Female Borg society,"together". The wife is begging the husband to be more adventurouss in the bedroom..."But how?" his subcontext cries through his ineptitude although she draws him a map more precise than google earth. Sorry poor "male" character...the only way you will learn how to be a man is to be written by a woman next time., or at least not by the Duplass Brothers.
