DECOUPLED – Think Curb Your Enthusiasm meets Bombay. Produced in India with an Indian cast and crew, this new irreverent comedy series on NetFlix offers a quirky take on marriage, including ending one. Dialogue is the biggest issue for this show. Half the dialogue is in English and half is in Hindi. Even when the actors speak in English, their accents are so thick that subtitles are required to understand everything that’s going on. Some of the situations are over-the-top, but there are funny bits throughout the episodes. I like all the characters….even the less savory ones, and found myself interested in how everything would play out for the main couple. I especially like the actress playing the wife. She’s beautiful and delivers a great, low-key performance which is a perfect contrast to her boorish, loud husband. There are only eight half-hour episodes and I look forward to season two. Cheers!! Boyfriends – 0; Girlfriends -1.
