    A promising premise, but I just can't get into it. Doesn't help that the two leads leave me cold, with the female lead being an especially large boat anchor, IMHO.

    Catastrophe's pilot is comedic gold, but its sexually explicit humor and overall direction slowly loses its spark after the second episode. I had difficulty feeling attached to what the show represents (a mid-life crisis founded on a mock-worthy accident or the dramatic aftershock of an unrealistic relationship). The actors do an impeccable job, but I feel uncomfortable with the capriciousCatastrophe's pilot is comedic gold, but its sexually explicit humor and overall direction slowly loses its spark after the second episode.

    Each episode intensifies, emotionally, suggesting the long arc of a story that’s just beginning.

    There's nothing revolutionary here, but man, what is here is some of the funniest, most soulful TV of the summer.

    Along the course of these six episodes, the show touches on various rom-com tropes about disapproving parents (Carrie Fisher is, as always, a treat as Rob's cynical mother), secret meetings with exes, bachelor and bachelorette parties that spin out of control, etc. But they're all dealt with in such a specific and simple way that they feel unique to these characters and their world, rather than the obligatory stumbles on the path to a happy ending.
