.... It just doesn't work.
2 great actors in the lead should guarantee success, but alas it doesn't here. Ignore the slow pace and consider what the writer is trying to do... show marriage as mundane and examine the impact of various scenarios on the relationship.
The problem is the slow pace becomes such an issue that the viewer loses interest in the characters and their interactions.
A 1 minute shot of loading a dishwasher? Really?
As an idea, it works. As a production for TV, it's a disaster.
