I did a search, and nothing came up.

Has anyone been watching the new FX series Married, with Judy Greer and Nat Faxon? I've been finding it to be such a delight, especially in the oft-barren wasteland of summer television. The two of them have such a natural chemistry, the writing is crisp, the supporting cast is great (Paul Reiser is doing his best work in years).

The last two episodes (last night and last Thursday) were particularly strong.

So, anyone been watching? Thoughts?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I watched the premiere and enjoyed it.

I watched the first couple of episodes are really liked them. I have a fondness for pretty much anything Judy Greer does and it's nice to see Nat Faxon do some acting beyond his teeth. The chemistry between them is really good.

It's nice to see Greer in a leading role. When someone tends to primarily play supporting characters, I think many of us start to put them in that box unilaterally. She and Faxon are definitely more than capable at the helm of a show.

Michaela Watkins was particularly good in a guest role last week, too.

Their "phone sex" scene on last night's episode was easily some of the best television I've seen this year. I also love Greer, AC.

I wanted to love Married for all the reasons people have listed plus Jenny Slate. I think it's a really good show but I don't find myself laughing all that much. You're the Worst, on the other hand, is something I didn't think would be great and find myself LOVING.

I definitely don't think of the show as laugh-out-loud funny, though there have been moments throughout where I have done just that (most recently, the aforementioned phone sex scene).
