Catastrophe is here and gone in six episodes, but it leaves you spent, satisfied and pleasantly skeeved out, the way the best modern comedy shows do. Read full review

To write out episode-themes like this makes Catastrophe sound potentially dreary about marriage equality and parental strain. Trust me, it’s the exact opposite: so exhilarating, so gaspingly funny, you’ll burn through the episodes as fast as you can. Read full review

Catastrophe is a comedy, first and foremost, but it masterfully proves that you don't have to sacrifice depth for laughs. Read full review

It is glorious, and hilarious to watch. Read full review

That’s [fleshing out the supporting players and introduce new wrinkles into the main relationship] more or less what Catastrophe does this time out, with varying degrees of success, but always with enough wit and energy that you’ll want to keep watching even if what’s onscreen is not as blazingly fresh as what you saw last time.

A thoroughly enjoyable comedy that brings vigor and charm to a familiar TV trope. Read full review

Rob Owen

It was often laugh-out-loud funny as Ms. Horgan’s quips found equal footing with Mr. Delaney’s quick-witted retorts. Season two continues in the same tone but somewhat less successfully now that the pair are enmeshed in domestic woes. Read full review

As near to perfect a modern sitcom as you could possibly hope for: rude, touching, real. Can't fault it, other than it made us binge on it and then it was all gone.

Best comedy to come out of the UK in some time.. Rob and Sharon have hilarious interactions throughout and it never stops providing hilarious moments. Just a shame it's only 6 episodes long! Bring on season 3!

as waertight as before despie a slightly annoying b-side story in the form of Rob's friend. its best quality is how well it understands itself and how it validates the issues it has with an adept swift hand that makes for a unpredicable short season. i love how hese parent's feel real andas waertight as before despie a slightly annoying b-side story in the form of Rob's friend. its best quality is how well it understands itself and how it validates the issues it has with an adept swift hand that makes for a unpredicable short season. i love how hese parent's feel real and how the messes they were when they met are just as messy now. near perfect comedy… Expand

With the set-up and characters firmly established there are certainly more laughs per episode in this second season and an overall this was an improvement on the decent first season.

Great show. Funny, authentic and original. There's real drama and comedy in it.
And there's nothing artificial or contrived in it like in many other shows.
This collaboration between a brit (Sharon) and an american (Rob) just works.
Thumbs up!

A strong second season that ups the family drama while still delivering the laughs.

Contrary to the others posting here, I didn't like the second season so much, probably because it went all "young family" on us - with the first kid being born and grown during the off-season, so it opens up with the second kid being born. At this point it competes for humorous situationsContrary to the others posting here, I didn't like the second season so much, probably because it went all "young family" on us - with the first kid being born and grown during the off-season, so it opens up with the second kid being born. At this point it competes for humorous situations with "Odd Mom Out" and the latter wins hands down. Sharon, already not at all attractive, becomes even **** neurotic and that just doesn't work for me. Let's see what season 3 brings...… Expand
