‘Us’ takes a twisty marital journey through Europe
“Us” is about a couple’s last-ditch attempt to save what’s left of their crumbling marriage during a three-week sojourn through Europe with their mopey 17-year-old son.But there’s much more to the new four-hour “Masterpiece” miniseries, airing June 20 and 27 on PBS (9 p.m. both nights).Starring Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves, “Us” blends comedy, domestic drama, whimsy — and a generous dose of on-location scenery — in telling the story of Douglas and Connie Petersen (Hollander and Reeves), a middle-aged, middle-class British couple who embark on their long-planned holiday despite Connie telling Douglas their marriage is kaput after 20 years.
