Louise and Tom who meet in a pub immediately before their weekly marital therapy session. Each episode pieces together how their lives were, what drew them together, and what has started to pull them apart.


В первом сезоне «State of the Union» супружеская пара Том и Луиза каждую неделю перед сеансом семейной терапии встречается в пабе — и за бокалом напитка вскрывает старые обиды и заново узнаёт друг друга. Лаконичные десятиминутные эпизоды, наполненные острым юмором и честными эмоциями, держат в напряжении до последней секунды. Блестящая игра Розамунд Пайк и Криса О’Дауда превращает разговор о кризисе брака в по-настоящему захватывающее зрелище.

«State of the Union» отлично подходит для изучающих английский — особенно на уровне Intermediate и выше.

Короткие 10‑минутные эпизоды позволяют не уставать от восприятия речи на слух и детально разбирать лексику: в диалогах много разговорных фраз, идиом и интонационных нюансов, важных для понимания живой речи. А благодаря камерному формату (всего два героя) проще привыкнуть к произношению актёров и уловить тонкости юмора и эмоций, которые часто теряются в переводе.
