In this episode, we provide a spoiler free recap of HBO's Scenes from a Marriage (2021). We'll explain what we thought of the show and whether you should watch it. HBO describes the series as "a modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name, centering on Mira (Jessica Chastain), a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac), an accommodating, hyper-intellectual philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact. The five-part limited series re-examines the dilemmas probed by the original, and flips the script on traditional gender roles to explore love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple."
