Divorce is HBO‘s new half-hour dark comedy centered around Frances and Robert (played by Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church), who are navigating the choppy waters of a long, drawn out divorce. While it may sound like a show to avoid, the writing is impeccable, the characters are engaging and there’s enough comedy sprinkled throughout to make it a must watch show.
