    I found myself getting increasingly disappointed as I got through the episodes, feeling like a good story was just one great twist away, and it never got to that point for me. It felt like the whole show had too much going on and could have been so much better by focusing on the main plot points more instead of the boring and overall pointless parts it tended to focus on

    I watched the pilot episode so far. I came away with the feeling that this was going to develop into a Lost type of show, built mostly upon flashbacks and 'what they were doing when' type of story arcs. There was another show a couple of seasons back where an airliner was going to crash into something, and they tried to develop a similar set of story arcs.

    If YMatA does as well as Lost, good for them. But shows with a lot of flashbacks rarely keep my interests.    … Expand

    British TV is seldom bad. "You, Me and the Apocalypse" isn't bad. But, it isn't good either, and it's certainly not good as far as any British TV show that gets recognition across the pond. I think the main actor fails at his "second role" in the series. Pam from the office is out of her element. The show is always lighthearted, and it tries to be funny, but I doubt anything broughtBritish TV is seldom bad. "You, Me and the Apocalypse" isn't bad.

Pam from the office is out of her element. The show is always lighthearted, and it tries to be funny, but I doubt anything brought me close to laughing. It's better than U.S. network TV, but that's not saying much.

    I like apocalypse-themed movies and shows, and I thought I would like this show. I don't really see how this show could get so many glowing ratings, and I'm even a bit suspicious. Maybe it will pick up by the end of the season, but there seems little room for surprise, and little room for growth.

    If you want comedy, watch Rick and Morty, or old episodes of Peep show. If you want an apocalypse show, watch "The Leftovers" and watch season 2 twice. If you want something mindless, with sub-par writing, to watch in bed before you pass out, "You, Me, and the Apocalypse" will suit your needs.    … Expand

    Not only is the plot lacking in both humor and intensity, but the storyline wastes the talents of a strong ensemble cast.

    By the time You, Me and the Apocalypse” starts making sense, you’ve either abandoned it or forgotten to watch it.

    The good news is that most of it is swiftly and creatively entertaining and imaginative--which it deserves more credit for but won’t get because of its obscure heritage and hourlong, sometimes dark approach to comedy. If you’re looking for something different, though, give the end of the world a chance.
