"Togetherness," the new comedy from HBO, started its creative journey with those "uh-oh" moments that many people experience in their 30s.

"We were just getting our butts kicked," said Jay Duplass, the 41-year-old writer-director who co-created the series with his younger brother and longtime creative partner, Mark Duplass.

"We were both in our late 30s, and we had two young children," Jay added. "We were just getting mauled by the massive task, in our minds, of trying to be good dads and good husbands and also trying to be good at our jobs, which are very demanding and sort of 'dream jobs.'"

Anyone else looking forward to this premiere on Sunday? Hoping the Duplass brothers have hit with this show.

Yeah dude, the league is ending this year. So I guess he's finally getting a chance to move on/direct.

If you haven't watched any of the Duplass brother movies, do yourself a favor and check them out.

The League is really different from the stuff they do.

Just watched episode 2, I'm really liking it. Amanda Peet's titties still look good.

Through two episodes, nothing super interesting has really happened so far in this show but there's been some pretty good individual scenes. The sex scene was hilarious.

He is one of the most influential directors of the whole mumblecore movement.

Their narrative short won best of fest at the N.O. Film Festival in the early 2000's. It was really pretty fricking good.

So these two brothers came up with the idea of doing a show on HBO where they get to do sex scenes and nude scenes with hot women.

Good for them.
