I definitely preferred this second series of State of the Union to the first. Maybe because Brendan Gleeson and Patricia Clarkson are older than Chris O'Dowd and Rosemond Pike who appeared in series 1. I love the ten minute segments in ten episodes as the husband and wife meet for coffee before their counselling session upstairs that we never see.
It's all down to the writing by Nick Hornby and direction by Stephen Frears. A British comedy, this time set in America after the first series in a London pub. Then put two class actors together and you get TV magic.
Series 1 was fine, I just find that Chris O'Dowd somehow annoys me in most of his work.
