Divorce (2016)

"Divorce" is the HBO dramedy that follows a New York couple picking apart the wreckage of a marriage gone cold. Sarah Jessica Parker leads as the wife stumbling through separation. She mixes her trademark wit with something rawer and more bruised. Katja Herbers shares the screen as part of the extended circle caught up in the fallout. Magdalena Poplawska also turns up, adding another layer to the show's tangle of infidelity and second chances. The series doesn't shy away from letting its characters get physically exposed when the writing calls for it. That adds up to 4 scenes in the archive, spanning nude and sex scenes that push past the show's comedic surface. Each clip catches a different actress in an unguarded dramatic beat. Together they show why "Divorce" earned a reputation for candor beyond its punchlines.
