    If it aint broke don't fix it, is the mantra this show takes on in it's 3rd season.

    One of the best British comedy series for a long time. I always think UK comedy is a bit tame (I'm from UK) but the humour in Catastrophe breaks from that and you can tell it's Rob Delaney's writing that shines through.

    Funny and charming... well worth a watch.

    Not as good as the first two season, not as funny.
    It had a more serious tone. I wouldn't have minded if they had balanced it out with humour.
    The beginning of the season spent too much time on Sharon's possible infidelity. Rob's unsuccessful search for a new job didn't do it for me, either. It felt there was much less happening, the plot was kind of stalling halfway through. I hope    Not as good as the first two season, not as funny.

    Best comedy series I've seen in a long time. The acting is brilliant (particularly by the main two characters but, honestly, everyone is really good). The dialogue is so clever and funny and flawlessly delivered. I watched Season 3 in one seating and am thrilled it will be back for Season 4.

    'Catastrophe' is such a marvelous gem. It's dark humor hiding the best of intentions and Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan are brilliant... and there's Carrie Fisher, that force of nature that will always hold a place in our hearts.

    The 9 and 10 reviews are b---s---t shills who didn't even watch Season 3. I watched it and it's decidedly darker with Rob's having a drinking problem. This has turned into a series that I feel more obligated to watch to season's end than genuinely wanting to watch. Look, there are some fun parts but the two dwell on their "personal parts" way too much for their age and responsibilities.The 9 and 10 reviews are b---s---t shills who didn't even watch Season 3.

Look, there are some fun parts but the two dwell on their "personal parts" way too much for their age and responsibilities. Also, the show is kind of aimless, it doesn't really have a clear goal it's shooting for. Given the final scene that's due to Rob's drinking problem, this is where season 4 will pick up and I'm just not interested in going down that hole with them - or really anything with them anymore, I've lost interest in the characters so I'm out with season 3.… Expand

    La tercera temporada fué el motivo por la que me interesé por esta serie, las grandísimas críticas que obtuvo me hizo preguntarme si de verdad merecía tanto la pena. Pues la respuesta es rotunda y llanamente, ¡SÍ! Esta temporada es mejor que las otras dos, vuelve a tener ese punto de comedia como en la primera, aunque domina más el drama como en la segunda. Encuentra un equilibrio bastanteLa tercera temporada fué el motivo por la que me interesé por esta serie, las grandísimas críticas que obtuvo me hizo preguntarme si de verdad merecía tanto la pena. Pues la respuesta es rotunda y llanamente, ¡SÍ! Esta temporada es mejor que las otras dos, vuelve a tener ese punto de comedia como en la primera, aunque domina más el drama como en la segunda. Encuentra un equilibrio bastante bueno entre ambos tonos. Yo personalmente, cuando tenga pareja volveré a revisionar esta serie, porque creo que es un manual muchas veces sobre ello. En ella puedes observar infinidad de cosas interesantes sobre el tema y creo que los personajes y situaciones están increíblemente bien escritos. Luego esta temporada tiene temas como las adicciones y demás que son temas que cada temporada se van añadiendo y hay momentos muy oscuros allá por el final. Creo que la serie tiene aún cosas que contar de cara a una próxima temporada. Es una serie que recomendaría a alguien que le guste el tema de parejas, que le gusten las comedias románticas, porque si no es así esta no es tu serie. En cuanto a lo técnico me parece tan buena como las anteriores, destacando el gran ritmo que atesoran sus capítulos y hace que se te pasen 'volando'. Hay otra serie "Transparent" que es similar a esta, pero el tema que trata y sus personajes no me interesan nada y se me está haciendo muy cuesta arriba, dejándola aún sin acabar, por eso se que esta serie si te interesa este tipo de género es para que quede claro: I-N-C-R-E-Í-B-L-E. Volveré a verla más veces.… Expand

    The first two seasons were funnier and sharper, but Catastrophe continues to be one of the most compelling shows on TV. Outstanding writing from the two multi-talented leads.

    Catastrophe’s third season is it’s strongest yet. The central pairing of Sharon and Rob retain the great on screen chemistry they’ve had ever since the show began, and the writing adds even greater depth to the drama whilst still providing plenty of laughs.

    Series has a much darker tone but still manages to be very funny (a bit less than previous seasons). I love it, all the ups and downs, but usual cliffhanger not so much. Can't wait for next season.

This makes main characters look very selfish and self-centred which makes me like them a bit less.    … Expand

    vulgar, rara, todos son tan extraños, unicos a su manera, lo original de la serie es que se sueltan cada cosa grotesca y sin filtro entre ellos y eso hace una hermosa pareja...

    not as sharp and witty as the season before it so far. rob and sharon are forced o reckon with the consequences of themselves his season with rob taking a more selfish journey for a more fulfilling job despite he economic stability of his prior job ,and try to move post the emotional stalemate Sharon's infidelity le him in.

Sharon on the other hand tries to acclimate to returning to work and establishing herself apart from her identity as as mother also while trying to earn Rob's trust. Its a very heavy season which accodingly leaves room for less laughs but what i hink deracts from his season is he absence of fran and chris who are a welcomed comedic relief for he show hat work well balanced against he real plights' of rob and sharon against heir absurd lives' do appreciate the reduction of robs addict friend's scenes but have o say the missed out on utilizing a potentially complex character. but i am only halfway though the season and my thoughts might might change if its able o not take itself so seriously

    on the latter half every complaint i had previously is addressed, the show returns to its darkly funny self and handles its themes delicately. Carrie fishers extended role is scene stealing comedic gold, loved every second. it's still a stellar show that just needed a bit more time to pick up this time around which is understandable given the scope of this season. this show is very confident in what it is doing and sets out to do it well each time.    … Expand

    Catastrophe is getting more serious in season three but the good news shouldn't be unexpected: The series is no less funny. ... A gem.

    The ending of Season 3 is impactful, to say the least. After a season of examining the constant awareness of responsibility outside oneself, each episode carries a potency beyond its length, dialogue, or content--especially the last one.

    As the season progresses, writers/actors Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney deftly show the couple mending trust even as one party maintains a secret that, one expects, will eventually become a “little corpse.” ... B-plots involving the couple’s friends and family members prove mostly uproarious, as well.
