Same-sex marriage careers into meltdown and, horror beyond horror, mundanity.

It's a very predictable domestic drama with a few spurious subplots...to pad things out.

Look, there's nothing wrong with the performances...they all do a pretty good job with what they've been given...with more, they may have excelled. This story needs more meat on its bones. It needed passion, fire...flare.

The direction - like the story - is run-of-the-mill, by-the-book, nothing fancy...that's fine and dandy if you want to fill day-time TV slots...but, surely, directors are like lawyers...they want to change the world...to do so, they have to take risks, delve deeper, present their cases with that passion and flare...otherwise, they will be relegated to the humdrum. And this is, unfortunately, watchable humdrum.

As for the percussive soundtrack...perhaps, bold - definitely, incongruous. As for the ending, nothing was pulled out of the hat...it was all rather neatly tied up with a lacklustre string.
