Though the character Claire may have a bit of a tough exterior, she’s still struggling as she copes with a surprise split from her husband. “The interior motives of Claire, and the world that she’s about to inhabit, were something that is familiar to a lot of people — and I’m sad to say a lot of women,” Marcia Gay Harden told The List. “Because I literally feel like divorce is a pandemic for women between their forties and sixties. It’s like the age.”
Having to start over after having a partner for decades isn’t easy for her character, who struggles throughout the season with the decision to sell the home she once shared with her husband.
While it may seem like a sad ending to this love story, Claire’s heartbreak is only the beginning of a completely new journey. “That’s what Claire’s storyline had: this beautiful, disguised gift,” Harden told us — and it’s something she hopes any person watching will be inspired by, no matter what age they may be.
“Uncoupled” is available to stream now exclusively on Netflix.
