one of the decade's best, Divorce is currently streaming in Australia on Foxtel Now and HBO Max, and in the US on HBO Max Amazon Channel and YouTube TV with a 6/10 audience score that speaks for itself. 24 episodes — the right length to tell the story it is telling. Television that earns its era label is rarer than the number of shows attempting it suggests — most of what gets called prestige TV is really just expensive TV. Divorce is one of the genuine examples: the craft is there in the writing, the performances, and the way it handles its subject matter. Sarah Jessica Parker's involvement signals the kind of production that attracts serious talent and uses it properly. Available now on streaming — no excuses left for not watching it.

Divorce does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. A middle-aged couple experience the pain, the relief and the trials and tribulations of a divorce in this dry, witty comedy. Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. The series ran for 3 seasons (2016–2019), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Divorce holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-season curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

The kind of show you put on in the background and find yourself actually paying attention to. It earns every laugh across its entire run — no coasting on goodwill. The comedy comes from character rather than situation, which means it holds up on rewatch in a way that pure farce never does. Sarah Jessica Parker sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. If Claws is already in your rotation, Divorce fits naturally alongside it.
