Marriage (2022)

Ian and Emma's ordinary conversations include interruptions, repeated irritations and silences that a more hurried marriage drama might skip. Marriage asks the viewer to recognise how much can be understood without anybody producing a polished explanation. Pick the 2022 British four-part series for everyday speech whose emotional force accumulates slowly. It is less verbally showy than most choices here, with discomfort and tenderness often occupying the same exchange.
