Splitsville

Splitsville is currently streaming in Australia on HBO Max, and in the US on Hulu and Kanopy, and it delivers exactly the kind of comedy that earns a loyal following. The length is exactly right for the story it is telling — nothing rushed, nothing dragged out. 227 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Kyle Marvin is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on HBO Max.

Splitsville is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Splitsville from the crowd. After Ashley asks for a divorce, good-natured Carey runs to his friends, Julie and Paul, for support. He’s shocked to discover that the secret to their happiness is an open marriage, that is until Carey crosses the line and throws all of their relationships into chaos. Kyle Marvin and Michael Angelo Covino lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2025. What keeps Splitsville from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Splitsville. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Kyle Marvin's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
