If you’re lamenting the options for nuanced, adult dramas and comedies at the movies, then may I turn your attention to "Togetherness." The HBO series is flat out terrific, alternately funny and moving, with a great cast and excellent writing that almost makes it look too easy. The gang is coming back for a second season, and the first trailer is here.

Season one ended on a helluva cliffhanger (I won’t spoil it here), but it does look like it has some ramifications for all involved as they adjust to the shifting relationship dynamics.

Starring Mark Duplass, Melanie Lynskey, Amanda Peet, and Steve Zissis, "Togetherness" returns on February 21, 2016. Watch below.
