Season 1 Review:
But because the series repurposes so much from Bergman, it would be impossible not to measure it against the original and find the new version somewhat lacking. The performances, as crucial here as they would be in a Shakespeare adaptation, are solid. ... It’s a better-than-average TV show adapted from a masterpiece that you can still watch in the comfort of your all-too-delicately constructed home.

Season 1 Review:
It’s all well observed and exquisitely acted, yet this "Scenes" seems to have defied Tolstoy by finding an unhappy family that is unhappy in a very familiar way. ... If you have [seen the original series], this "Scenes" feels less like a reimagining than like a highbrow stage revival — movie stars spending a few weeks doing Ibsen at a summer theater fest. ... Of course, "Look at these talented stars in this classy production" has been a successful draw before. Whether it’s enough for you may determine whether you call it a wrap before "Scenes From a Marriage" does.

Season 1 Review:
The high-emotion sparring between stars Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain is spectacular and provides some reason for viewers to invest in this stressful series. ... The strangest thing is that Levi seems to be completely aware that he’s remaking this property in the least interesting way possible.

Season 1 Review:
The writing and direction tend to undercut the reality of his and of Chastain’s work together, making the show engaging to watch as an acting exercise by two gifted former theater students who are game and willing to try anything than it is as an examination of contemporary marriage.
