Splitting Up Together is an American sitcom that premiered on ABC on March 27, 2018. The show follows the story of Lena (Jenna Fischer) and Martin (Oliver Hudson), a couple who, after realizing that their marriage is falling apart, decide to get divorced. However, they soon face a unique challenge when they decide to continue living together with their three children, each taking turns to live in the house for a week as they begin the process of formally splitting up.

Though the premise of the series sounds serious, Splitting Up Together is actually a comedy that juxtaposes the realities of struggling to maintain a relationship with humor. The show is inspired by a Danish series of the same name and follows the experiences of the larger-than-life characters in the aftermath of their break-up.

Jenna Fischer, who is well known for her work on the hit NBC comedy, The Office, is perfect for the role of Lena, a perky and optimistic mom who's trying to hold everything together for her family. Playing opposite her as Martin is Oliver Hudson, an actor known for his work in various film and TV projects, who portrays a laid-back, less responsible dad trying to find his footing as he moves on from the end of his marriage.

The series also stars comedian Bobby Lee, who portrays Arthur, Lena's best friend and frequent confidant. Arthur is a quirky character who constantly injects humor into the show, making Splitting Up Together even more fun to watch. Diane Farr, who portrays Maya, is another standout performer in the series. Maya is Lena and Martin's divorce lawyer and is often the voice of reason when it comes to navigating highly stressful and emotionally charged situations.

Lindsay Price is a new addition to the cast, playing Martin's new girlfriend, Camille. Camille is a free-spirited artist who challenges Martin in ways he never thought possible. Her addition to the storyline causes humorous and dramatic moments that further push the boundaries of Lena and Martin's relationship.

What makes Splitting Up Together so unique is its storytelling style. Unlike other sitcoms that often rely on slapstick humor and cheap laughs, this show explores the difficulties that come with separating and rebuilding a new life. And the performances from the actors are top-notch, with each cast member bringing something different to the table.

The show is also visually stunning, with beautiful and detailed cinematography that highlights the scenic locations where the series is shot. The picturesque views of Southern California provide a perfect backdrop to Lena and Martin's journey.

As the series progresses, each character undergoes a significant change, forcing them to examine their own behaviors and attitudes towards life. The show has become a runaway hit, praised for its insightful and nuanced depiction of family life after divorce, humor, and strong performances.

In conclusion, Splitting Up Together is a delightful and nuanced comedy series that highlights the difficulties of navigating the aftermath of a divorce. With excellent performances from its lead cast, beautiful cinematography, and a unique storytelling style, the show has become a standout hit, proving that laughter comes even in the most challenging moments of life.
