    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.

    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 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

    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!

    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!

    Segunda temporada de 'Catastrophe' y segundo temporadón. Aquí hay un salto no de calidad sino en el tono.

En esta temporada la serie se aleja del humor que era la nota predominante en la primera temporada y se vuelve en muchas fases un auténtico "dramón", olvidándose del tono comedia e incluso paródico a veces en la primera. Sobretodo se nota en el personaje de Rob que ya no está para chistes y la vida le empieza a dar cera y a ver problemas muy del día a día y también por parte de Sharon que da un cambio importante también. No digo más para evitar spoiler. La principal virtud de la serie vuelven a ser los diálogos que vuelven a ser EXCELENTES y la naturalidad de los mismos. Todo eso sin obviar el gran ritmo de la serie y que nunca suele caer en topicazos. El resto, te puede gustar o no. Personalmente a mí me encanta y pienso que la relación de pareja entre ambos protagonistas, esa relación hombre - mujer es, probablemente, la más real que haya visto en una pantalla, y creo que la serie respira realismo por los cuatro costados sobre un tema que a mí me interesa mucho. Gran temporada, mejor que la primera, pero si que le hecho en falta a veces menos drama y más humor.… 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.

    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 and how the messes they were when they met are just as messy now. near perfect comedy

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

    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.

    Catastrophe offers much to laugh at; it is perhaps one of the most cleverly and subtly written sitcoms currently on offer.

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