STATE OF THE UNION
May 13, 2019  | By David Bianculli

Sundance, 10:00 p.m. ET

 

This is the start of the second and final week of this marvelous mini-miniseries: 10 episodes, about 10 minutes each, running weekdays, starring Chris O’Dowd and Rosamund Pike as a married couple meeting for a quick drink, and chat, before their weekly marital therapy sessions. We never see the sessions, but the pregame show is so raw, funny and revealing, State of the Union has become one of my favorite TV shows of the year – and so far, it’s less than an hour long. Catch up on line or On Demand, and tune in for tonight’s Part 6. Nick Hornby wrote all 10 episodes, and Stephen Frears directed them all. Hornby wrote the High Fidelity novel that Frears directed as a film, and this TV series displays the same flair for dialogue and credible, interesting character interaction.
