Scenes from a Marriage teases the viewer in the first two episodes, threatening to explore and reveal a relationship without apologizing.

And then, early in the third episode, the tone shifted and dullness overwhelmed the remaining episodes. Repetition may well be a marker in all relationships, patterns that help to define the partners' strengths and weaknesses. But this mini-series is repetitive to the point of medium - and the Chastain character suggests multiple personality disorder, so swift and unexplained are her moods, actions and self-righteous outbursts. Isaac's male begins with a sincerity and openness that commanded my focus, but then vocal mannerisms kicked in and too much of what followed was predictable and, sadly, annoying. These people are not especially fascinating - nor are they compelling enough to get past their self-absorption. Chastain, and maybe not is the writing rather than the actor, strikes attitudes that make no sense. Her escape to a younger man, played by Michael Aloni (totally wasted in a role that the writers couldn't breathe a nona-second's life into), served only to underline the threadbare ideas behind the hyper-real mumbling between Him and Her.
What a shame that the first two episodes couldn't inspire more than the sum of its parts.… Expand
