Togetherness: The Complete First Season

Togetherness - The Complete First SeasonHBO® Comedy Series from Brothers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass called TOGETHERNESS: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON is available on February 16th, 2016 on Blu-ray™ with Digital HD, DVD & Digital Download.

Prolific indie filmmakers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass make their TV debut with the “funny, poignant” (San Francisco Chronicle) HBO comedy series Togetherness. The “complex, pathos-filled and very funny…” (Wall Street Journal) series follows four adults living under one roof struggling to keep their relationships and dreams alive as they approach the age of forty.

In Togetherness, Brett (Mark Duplass) is a straitlaced sound designer trying to rediscover himself while his wife Michelle (Melanie Lynskey) is eager to rekindle her passion for romance and life. Their lives are shaken up with the arrival of Michelle’s sister Tina (Amanda Peet), who comes to stay with them as she desperately tries to find a husband and get her bouncy-castle business off the ground, and Brett’s best friend Alex (Steve Zissis), who decides to give his stalled acting career one last try. Blending laughter and pathos, Togetherness shows the tragically comedic struggle to follow personal dreams while still remaining good friends, siblings, and spouses to each other.

Our Thoughts: My husband loves comedies and Togetherness was one of his favorite ones to watch last year. Matter of fact, I don’t think he missed an episode! One of the things he loves about this TV show is that these family & friends are dysfunctional but yet…they all care about one another. Since they are dysfunctional, all of their fun times together and no-so-fun times are extremely funny to watch. Some people have life figured out and everything seems to go their way…these people do NOT!

This is comedy at it’s best…it’s not slapstick comedy at all and this show will definitely get you to laugh. On top of being funny, each episode has a great story line and you can see the characters grow throughout the season.

The DVD set includes several bonus features:

* Inside the Episode – Jay & Mark Duplass provide perspective on each character’s journey through the season.

* Amanda & Steve – Hilarious interview & behind-the-scenes footage with Amanda Peet and Steve Zissis.

* Deleted Scenes – From the first season.

You can buy the complete first season of Togetherness starting on February 16th, 2016. It’s also available on Digital HD & DVD.

  1. I don’t have HBO so have not heard of this but I like the story line of this DVD. I like Amanda Peet so would watch it since she’s in it. I can relate to her predicament also so it would keep my interest, and bonus that it’s a comedy too.

    I never watched this show and I think I would enjoy it. I like the fact that it combines comedy with real family relationships and struggles.

  3. I have not heard of this show but now I have to check it out. I really like HBO shows but they seem to end their series always too soon.
