HBOners Season Three - Scenes from a Marriage

It’s the fifth and final episode of Scenes from a Marriage, and we’ve been waiting for this moment since five minutes into the first episode. Four years since their breakup, two former lovers reunite at the house we only just escaped at the end of episode four. But in the words of Jack from Lost, “We have to go baaaack!” Ingmar Bergman's classic 1973 film continues to deliver gut punch after gut punch in this updated HBO version, with Oscar Isaac (Star Wars) and Jessica Chastain (Lady in the Water) dealing out the majority of these emotional blows. Like Groundhog’s Day, Poe and Casper seem cursed to replay the same emotional beats over and over again until they can figure out a way to change. But for these two characters, it seems there can be no lightbulb moments, no internal transformations, no happy endings. So are these onetime spouses finally ready to call it quits, or will they continue to torture each other from now til Kingdom Come? Only God knows. But Chasey and Stevin are still here to stumble their way through these topics and more on this week’s episode of The HBOners!

Also starring: Nicole Beharie (Sleepy Hollow), Corey Stoll (The Many Saints of Newark), Sunita Mani (G.L.O.W.), Tovah Feldshuh (Lady in the Water), Maury Ginsberg (Manifest), and Susan Pourfar (Scandal).
