    There's some good acting in here, but something feels off as if Isaac and Chastain are acting within their characters. I still don't know if this direction taken by the showrunner will pay off, but I'll definitely keep watching.

    Edit: Second episode is just too much too handle. Updating score just for that.

    Updated to the 21st century, Scenes From A Marriage ran aground on the leads’ striking lack of chemistry. An inertness hung in the air between Chastain and Isaac, which made it hard to buy into the idea they had ever been happily married in the first place.

    Scenes From a Marriage might be an unnecessary update, but when it’s at its best, Chastain and Isaac make it feel essential.

    Lacking the humanity of Bergman’s version, the dispassionate tone of Scenes From A Marriage doesn’t move you but it’s worth staying with for spectacular performances from Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac.
