The season has drawn early critical reaction. One review, headlined "All's fair in love and 'War' — a well-cast, classy-trashy divorce drama," praises the casting while acknowledging the series' blend of high style and low-stakes melodrama.
The image accompanying the announcement, credited to photographer Justin Downing, shows West and Miller in character as the feuding couple.
