Marriage review – Sean Bean and Nicola Walker are pitch perfect (The Guardian)

This clever drama about a 27-year relationship is full of slow, steady reveals that are sparse and deeply affecting. The actors' rich, detailed performances ...

There is a lot of dithering, and a lot of keeping difficult conversations at arm’s length. Of course, this requires a lot of trust in the writing, and the storytelling. There are long stretches of action without dialogue, and the show is as allergic to exposition as it is to characters finishing their sentences. There is a pitch-perfect realism to the way these characters talk without really saying anything, then put across what they really mean while saying nothing at all. All the characters in the couple’s lives talk to each other in cliches and platitudes. They watch TV and tease each other about the state of their pants.

In Marriage, Sean Bean and Nicola Walker find magic in the ... (iNews)

The actors are at the very top of their game in this understated, sublime vignette of a 30-year-long marriage. Marriage,14-08-2022,1,Ian (SEAN BEAN); ...

The underlying message of Marriage is one of empathy. The naturalistic dialogue feels almost improvised and it is through facial expressions and half-finished sentences that we understand everything going on under the surface of this marriage. He is a man who heads to the supermarket in search of a revitalising shower gel in the hope that it might be the answer to all his problems. At work at a solicitor’s office, she is brittle and eager to please her horrible boss; at home, she is all too aware of her husband’s loss of purpose. In Stefan Golaszewski’s four-part drama Marriage, those little things aren’t just asides or added extras; they are the fabric of the entire show. Those moments in between the flashy bits that give away something vital about the characters we are watching.

Marriage on BBC review: Sean Bean is soulful in acting masterclass (Metro)

Sean Bean and Nicola Walker deliver an acting masterclass in new BBC series Marriage, an authentic relationship study. Read our review.

When their daughter Jess (Chantelle Alle) comes home with her needy boyfriend, she gives her dad every opportunity to chat to her – but he silently sweeps leftovers into the compost bin instead. the seething over-reaction to the lack of a jacket potato on an airport restaurant’s menu. Ian makes no effort to bridge the obvious gap between them to console his wife. Yet when Ian does speak, it has a soulful power. It’s this seemingly ridiculous fight that Sean Bean’s introspective Ian picks with his wife Emma ( Nicola Walker) over her innocuous choice of chips that introduces us to their painfully believable world. As the plane taxis, they hiss sweary insults at each other.
