    Of course, Nat Faxon and Judy Greer are great. That's what they do. The episodes that stick to real-life situations tend to be the ones that work best. However, this couple is faced with (or causes) a lot of really ridiculous situations that make it impossible to empathize or care. It also has a handful of really unlikable supporting characters.

However, this couple is faced with (or causes) a lot of really ridiculous situations that make it impossible to empathize or care. It also has a handful of really unlikable supporting characters. It pains me to say, because I like Jenny Slate and John Hodgman, but their characters, along with Brett Gelman's, are all pretty terrible people. That's not necessarily a bad thing if there is something redeeming or that one can relate to, but I am just not interested in watching a show about narcissists who totally lack self-awareness and whose problems are all self-inflicted. It makes it very hard to care. I live in LA and am in my early 40s. I have friends on the spectrum from just getting by to extremely successful. This show is basically about people living similar lives to me, my friend's and their families, but it just doesn't feel like my life or anything I could fathom being my life at all. So, it makes me say to myself "Who are these people?" constantly... but not because I want to actually know, but because I don't believe they exist. I'm still watching, because I sense they could be onto something, but I am still waiting for it to come up to my expectations.… Expand

    The Married pilot is forced, mostly unfunny and tragic in that you immediately want to root for Faxon and Greer, two very funny and very likable comic actors, to have better material.

    A grisly wallow in domestic dysfunction that reaches for indie-film cred but collapses under a toxic barrage of bleak vignettes of gamy misery.

    Sitcoms, far more than dramas, are about chemistry rather than premise. Faxon and Greer have chemistry, with each other and with the very strong supporting cast.... [The characters] may not like their circumstances, but at least they like each other, and that makes them good sitcom company.
