This story on “State of the Union” first appeared in the Race Begins issue of TheWrap’s Emmy magazine.
Chris O’Dowd has a succinct way to describe “State of the Union,” a collection of short episodes that premiered on SundanceTV in May. “It’s inside the sausage factory of a marriage,” he said of the series, which stars O’Dowd and Rosamund Pike and was created and written by Nick Hornby.
And this particular sausage has some messy ingredients. O’Dowd and Pike play Tom and Louise, a couple whose marriage is on the rocks after 15 years. He’s a former rock critic whose life has been aimless since he lost his job, she’s a gerontologist whose brief affair led to their separation, and to their weekly trips to couples counseling.
But we don’t see those sessions. Instead, “State of the Union” is set in a pub...
