Catastrophe (2015)

The last six episodes of Catastrophe are not unlike the 18 that came before--often brilliant, relentlessly hilarious and searing in the process, depicting one of TV's best and most unexpected pairings of two actors (also the creators and writers, of course), who somehow making their coupling, as unromantic as it was, believable, with every episode over the course of the series run giving off an authenticity that allowed viewers to think, "Yeah, I can see how this works for them, even when it's not working." A nice trick, that.

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

Television’s smartest and most uncomfortable look at a marriage.

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

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.

Your leader in the clubhouse for comedies in 2016 is Catastrophe on Amazon. ... There is much to love here. There is arguably more to love than last season, which seems almost inconceivable.

The second season of Catastrophe has only one major flaw: It’s too short. ... The easy rapport between the two leads is, if anything, even more smooth and enjoyable this year, and their frisky dialogue, always full of delightful left turns and segues, manages to incorporate anger, frustration and affection in equal quantities.

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.

What's best about Catastrophe is how engaging the characters of Rob and Sharon are, and how quickly we come to root for them.

One of the best shows ever. It is funny and smart. And even more when watched again.
