	Author	Review
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: Being able to devote your full attention to a 10-minute episode and come away with as much as you can here (...) is so refreshing"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[2nd Season Review]: It has a lot to recommend it — and nothing so much as how easy it is to coast past a stretch of so-so episodes when they’re only 10 minutes apiece."	POS
United States	LaToya Ferguson The Wrap	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 is not as funny as Season 1, but Gleeson, Clarkson and Jouléy are able to make Hornby’s dialogue perhaps even more engaging"	POS
United States	Tara Bennett Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: [It] continues to be a fascinating peek into the psychology of marriage"	POS
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[The episodes] brim with shrewd and twisting wordplay as well as hard wisdom about long-term relationships (...) We never get tired of hearing this couple’s arguments"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A funny and savagely clever use of the shortform format (...) For viewers who want to pay attention, it's a master class that aspiring filmmakers would do well to study."	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"A charming, insightful, and well-acted short-form series (...) [O'Dowd and Pike] are both magnificent, as is the script and Stephen Frears’ confidant, clean direction."	POS
