The theme tune is "Partita for 8 Voices: No 1, Allemande", an a cappella work by the American composer Caroline Shaw. Episode list

Reception
The series received mostly very good reviews from critics, and mixed reviews from viewers. The Telegraph praised the first episode and gave it five out of five stars. Ben East of Metro, similarly, praised the first episode and gave it four stars. Rebecca Nicholson for The Guardian gave the first episode four out of five stars, remarking, 'There is a pitch-perfect realism to the way these characters talk without really saying anything, then put across what they really mean while saying nothing at all. It’s so cleverly done.' By contrast, Nick Hilton, writing for The Independent, gave Marriage two out of five stars, adding that the show would "bore you to tears". References
