Marriage (2022 Creator / writer Stefan Golaszewski)

What's wrong with Marriage? Well unlike Stefan Golaszewski's Mum, with which it shares certain similarities, its episodes are 60 minutes rather then 30, Nicola Walker isn't Lesley Manville and Sean Bean isn't Peter Mullan. You can see it's all about what's not being said, but the end result is really quite irritating, from the horribly annoying theme music on. Similar ground was covered in Dawn French's Roger & Val Have Just Got In, with Alfred Molina.

Easily the most irritating programme on television. Walker's boss is as vile as he can be at a conference - yet she still wants to go back to his hotel room. Why? Why? And then why does Bean turn up and smash the boss's car up?

These questions remain unanswered, but at least it's only four episodes. Ridiculously over-praised, also.
