COMEDY

-

Sky Atlantic, 10.10pm This neatly observed comedy created by our very own Sharon Horgan, and starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church, is back for a second run.

Suburban exes Frances and Robert have been dividing their lives for months and now the deed is done. One last wrestle over the collection of Eagles albums and the pair sign on the dotted line. Divorced.

But no one had really considered what should happen next. Frances starts thinking about the future and immediatel­y stops sleeping. The kids are not impressed that they now have to bulk buy toilet roll and eat (God forbid) unbranded cereal.

Meanwhile a cash-strapped Robert moves ahead with his house-flipping venture.

She gets a hair cut, he shaves his moustache. But has that much really changed?

The scenes when the exes face each other sizzle the most, but this is still a brilliantl­y awkward, sometimes intense, but amusing comedy about a life-changing event.
