An American comedy series follows Martin and Lena, a couple who got married then suddenly decided to get divorced. After many of court hearings, they have to stay with the children at the same house because of financial problems.
...the attractive leads... argue with irritating regularity. They fell out of love, and the sitcom feels like a long, forced push to get them back together.
Lena and Martin aren't as much fun as the series would like them to be, and their kids don't have much in the way of personalities to warrant any real interest in them early on.
Splitting Up Together allows itself to grow beyond the limited confines of the genre: It's not just about a couple, but two people trying to find themselves and at the same time raising their family in an unconventional way.
Best of all is [Jenna] Fischer, who was the normal soul of The Office and has a satisfying way of commanding attention without asking for it, of seeming not to act, which is of course ... acting.
ABC has far more family-driven sitcoms than any of its rivals. Splitting Up Together shows that the network is still finding new ways to make them work just fine.
