TV show description:
This single-camera comedy revolves around four middle-aged people in Los Angeles who are reconciling their dreams with their current personal and professional lives.
A husband with two kids living in Los Angeles, Brett Pierson (Mark Duplass) has hit a speed bump — both personally and professionally. His marriage to Michelle has lost its sexual spark; he’s unappreciated in his job as a sound designer; and he’s so run down that a family day at the beach represents a distinct kind of psychological torture.
A stay-at-home mom with two children, Michelle (Melanie Lynskey) constantly feels exhausted and unfulfilled. Realizing her marriage to Brett is in turbulent waters, she’s glad to have her sister Tina Morris (Amanda Peet) around as a sounding board — even if it means that Tina moves in with Michelle and Brett.
Tina is a free spirit who’s grappling with being single and getting older. She relocates from Houston in hopes of finding love in her life and success in her bouncy house business.
Brett’s best friend is Alex Pappas (Steve Zissis), an overweight, out-of-work actor who’s debating if he still has a shot at being successful. He’s ready to give up on Los Angeles life but agrees to stay put at the urging of Brett. After being evicted from his apartment, Alex finds himself on Brett’s couch and, thus, de facto roommates with Tina in the living room.
Each adult fights to sustain his or her own passion without skirting responsibility. As the two couples find themselves living under one roof, the series explores the significance behind every day moments.
Episode #16 — For the Kids
Michelle is inspired by the kids as the foursome makes a last-ditch effort to save her charter school plans.
First aired: April 10, 2016.
What do you think? Do you like the Togetherness TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Yet another great show being whacked before it can gain the acclaim it deserves. My wife wanted to cry when she found out they cancelled it. Only found out tonight when we saw series finale in the promo. HBO is not supposed to be like NBC and give up on great shows too early.
this is a great show. Why is it being cancelled. Its ridiculous.
Shocked this show is being cancelled. Best acting and plot ideas. So disappointed.
I’ve looked for this show for the longest time! I really enjoyed it, waiting for new session, now I learned it was cancel!! I’m so disappointed!!!!!
I am so disappointed to hear that this show has been cancelled! It was my favorite show and I look forward to it every week. The acting is beyond excellent! I am receiving free premium channels for a year with my cable network (which includes HBO) and would have renewed HBO when it expires in September. Now there is no reason to.
This show is the highlight of my week on Tv . please renew . ask kelly ripa she talks about it and watching it over and over on tv at least once a week
Please explain why togetherness is getting cancelled.. It is a great show that shold stay on TV!!!!!
Please don’t cancel this show. My husband and I binge watched it on HBO go and absolutely love it. Give it another chance, please!!!!!!
Love love this show!! I am a big fan and yes it should continue on for its 3rd season and so on.. All the characters are so great .
Please reconsider renewing Togetherness! You are letting a jewel slip through your fingertips, so to speak. Give us a season 3!
NOOOOO. Please reconsider! I just discovered this jewel of a show. Maybe HBO should have promoted it better?! The show fills a niche & I am convinced it will attract more viewers as people learn about it. PLEASE SAVE THE SHOW.
I really enjoy this fresh and funny series and am very sad to see it go.
Its terrific. My daughter and I absolutely love it!
I am pleased its been renewed it is a breath of fresh air
ABSOLUTELY LOVE this series. It is a terrific combination of comedy and real life drama. All the actors are terrific. Hope this is around for a long time.
I like togetherness I hope stays
