Togetherness is a likable enough show about likable enough characters portrayed by very likable actors. Lynskey and Zissis, in particular, portray mundane and exhausting sadness so believably that you want to reach into your screen and give them a hug. But the same can’t be said of Togetherness as a whole.

[The first season of ] Togetherness found something fresh and new to say about marriage, relationships and insecurity in the ‘10s. The problem is that season two starts by saying the exact same thing.
-
Much of the new season’s happiness and levity is whimsical and spur-of-the-moment (and the moments of sojourn, reverie, and revelry are visually sumptuous). They are earned as much as the sadness is, though their time is so much more fleeting. What’s left is that most of the dark, awkward, painful, naval-gazing realness of the rest of the season fosters less of a sense of universal togetherness, and more of a desire to retreat away completely.
