As a viewer, it’s impossible not to get invested. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross Daily Mail (UK) 08/31/2017
4/5
The comedy Catastrophe, meanwhile, is back for a second series, and it isn't just funny but offers characters you can truly care about, which is why it's so sublime. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 12/14/2016
This is piss-in-your-pants, uproariously funny - the kind of funny that sets off booming guffaws, leaving your neighbours to wonder if you're having some kind of bizarre stroke. Go to Full Review Chelsea Tatham Tampa Bay Times 11/13/2017
It's hard to shame something that goes out of its way to be absurdly cheesy and to build a world where even the characters don't take themselves too seriously. The actors often look just seconds away from bursting out laughing. Go to Full Review Ned Lannamann The Stranger (Seattle, WA) 08/24/2017
Catastrophe is kind of a wonder: a romantic comedy that's actually hysterically funny and navigates the clichs of the formula smartly. Go to Full Review Allison P. Davis The Ringer 08/14/2017
The excellent, if uncomfortable, new season picks up three years later, when Rob and Sharon are parents to two children and fully in the zone of marital struggle. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gareth v @geewah 06/24/2023 A strong second season that ups the family drama while still delivering the laughs. See more 06/28/2020 I loved it for so many reasons I watched all 4 seasons with my fiancée it's so relatable and heartwarming i think season 2 is great and shows how much they really love each other and it's possible to work through things as a couple and starts to dig into deeper issues other than only the unexpected pregnancy they have together in season 1- past the "honeymoon phase" of their relationship See more ron t @Ron750 04/19/2020 My feelings about this show are similar to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I was excited to see a series that was quick witted, with interesting characters. But by the second season I started to hate the main character. They are selfish, immature, and poor parents. Whining about how hard it is to raise children, while they self-medicate for first world problems. I'm 64. People had big families when I was a kid, and lived on one income. They made sacrifices, their children were their priority, they were spiritually and morally searching. Not whining about themselves all the time. I kept watching Mrs. Maisel, waiting for it to redeem itself, but it never did. So I'm taking a break or entirely bailing. I guess I'm too old to get these new shows. See more 02/27/2020 Season 2. Anyone who can ignore the death of a family pet and think it's funny, or ignore it is seriously in trouble. That poor dog... I'm never watching this again See more 10/15/2019 No matter how well written, it's hard to like a show when all characters are so unlikeable and depressing. They hate everyone and everything. My first thought when I saw the dog was that they probably hate him too and will probably kill it or let it die, and what a surprise, the dog didn't last an episode and, surprise again, they were glad it got killed. There was some funny stuff in the first season but at some point I realised I couldn't stand the two main characters and dropped it. See more 02/12/2018 Really enjoyed this show - very clever.
