Togetherness (2015)

"Togetherness" is the HBO comedy-drama digging into the messy intimacy of marriage and friendship. It also explores middle-aged restlessness among two couples sharing a house. Amanda Peet anchors the series with a performance that leans fully into that discomfort. She bares real vulnerability alongside real skin. Melanie Lynskey rounds out the household with her own unvarnished honesty. She matches Peet scene for scene throughout. The site carries 5 scenes pulled from their run on the show. That includes a topless scene and several tangled, unglamorous sex scenes. Those clips mirror the show's whole thesis about desire fading and flickering back to life. It's a quieter watch than most prestige comedies. Still, the willingness of both actresses to go there gives the collection a raw, unpolished charge. That charge is worth seeking out.
