Scenes From A Marriage focuses on an American couple facing troubles in their marriage, as they struggle to handle the relationship that is slowly falling apart. The official synopsis of the series on HBO reads:

''Scenes from a Marriage is a modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name, centering on Mira (Jessica Chastain), a confident, ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac), an accommodating, hyper-intellectual philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact.

It continues:

"The five-part limited series re-examines the dilemmas probed by the original, and flips the script on traditional gender roles to explore love, hatred, desire, monogamy, marriage, and divorce through the lens of a contemporary American couple.''

The series received mostly positive reviews from critics, who praised the writing and the lead actors' onscreen chemistry and performances. The original series by Ingmar Bergman, which stars Liv Ullmann and Erland Josephson, is widely regarded as a landmark in television history and continues to influence filmmakers from around the world even today.
