October TV Finales - Scenes from a Marriage (American miniseries)

Scenes from a Marriage is the latest HBO miniseries kicking goals.

Developed, written and directed by Hagai Levi  is an English-language remake of the 1973 Swedish miniseries of the same name by Ingmar Bergman. It was presented at the 2021 Venice Film Festival. While premiering on Binge/HBO mid September.

This is an adaptation of the 1970s Swedish miniseries focusing on a contemporary American couple, Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain.


I binged all five episodes back to back just ahead of Succession's third season taking the regular Sunday HBO spot. HBO has now had a very good run of miniseries, Mare of Easttown, The Undoing, The White Lotus (now added to series) with most likely more to come.

I highly recommend this five part series. Outstanding. Not to mention the behind the scenes, opening (and very final scene) scene set up through COVID safe measures. Loved this peak behind the production curtains.

Second last episode of Wentworth starts soon! What a month of TV finales!
