Season 1 Review: Its characters and situations are alternately aggravating, humorous and, to a lesser extent, poignant. Parker and Church are fully in charge throughout as a perfectly imperfect duo. Yes, they’re both that good--in a series that demands just that. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Overall, Season 2 is less divisive than Season 1. ... Divorce is still authentic, still focused, and still telling stories few other series are willing to explore. Read full review

Season 1 Review: HBO's other new Sunday comedy Insecure is more consistent and sure of its voice, but I laughed a lot more watching Divorce, even as I kept feeling frustrated that it didn't seem willing to fully embrace the awfulness of its premise, or its entire cast of characters. To be as good as it can be, it has to be more willing to be bad. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Though the central relationship is captivating, Divorce makes missteps with its comedy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It would seem that Horgan has a fixation on anxiety-inducing titles, but “Catastrophe” has an upbeat pulse that permeates its humor that is sorely lacking in Divorce. ... [The] best scenes in Divorce aren’t carried by Parker, which is a shame and an error, considering her role as the center of this off-kilter miniature galaxy. Instead, Church generates most of the comedy in the show’s opening episodes, which is terrific. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Divorce in the early going is not just dark but also slow and mopey--sometimes downright depressing. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Frances and Robert are just irritating, and you really need more character complexity and a better actress for irritating to be funny. They deserve each other, but, alas, they don’t deserve us. Read full review
