IMO Catastrophe is one of the best shows of the last 10 years. Clever, quirky and never strays into conventional sitcom territory.

[@pauljohnson7548]

Catastrophe is one of the funniest shows ever made.

[@Moozeooze]

they say they tried to make it not sentimental but in doing so, i would say this show was extremely sentimental because of how real their relationship felt

[@valastrix]

Rob Delaney is a treasure!!! So soooo funny!! Catastrophe is such a great show!

[@Karajorma]

It's rather sad that they can't have Carrie Fisher in it any more. She was amazing every time she was on screen.

[@valastrix]

@@Karajorma it is rather sad that we can't have Carrie Fisher in anything anymore.. Tho I personally feel, they give her a nice send off in the 4th season...

[@Karajorma]

@@valastrix That's true. It would be touching even if you somehow didn't know the backstory.

[@edie8931]

rob is so loud and high energy and sharon just brings this sense of calm and composure

[@johnsorzano]

LOVE THEM & THE SHOW!!!

[@EvieVermont]

Hope so much they continue to work together! Possibly the best and funniest show ever! Would love to see the show continue in Boston!

[@kerrylien1235]

So good and yet heartbreaking about Rob Delany's child's death.

[@dayanaraurena2087]

I binged this show in two days

[@edie8931]

all of sharon horgan’s shows are hilarious

[@davisx2002]

only four seasons...sad. and with short episodes and short seasons its more like a miniseries. just wish I could watch these 2 for a longer series.

[@K55365]

Sharon Horgan is beautiful.

[@ananyanarayandhanabalan]

PETER YOU BEAUTIFUL GLORIOUS MOUSTACHED MAN!! ❤️❤️😂😂

[@theredheadsaidNYC]

His name is ROB

[@yianniklimos759]

Now I want to see this show! Sounds hilarious. At least partly due to Seth's awesome interviewing skills! :). Thanks Seth!

[@zoebenefer6149]

Yianni Klimos it’s amazing

[@Fionacollins824]

Love you both soooo much xxx

[@jackiegmp6688]

But the show ends. So is season 4 episode 6 the last episodes. This show needs to continue !

[@niguel4438]

Catastrophe. Such a great show.

[@SuperWolfkin]

Catastrophe had an excellent pilot.

[@brownkemosabe]

The entire show is really good

[@rickb.4168]

Sharon Horgan, is the wife you wished you’d married.

[@gp1102]

One of the best shows in Amazon!!! 💖💖💖

[@brownkemosabe]

Couldn't watch it on Amazon Prime in India, so I watched it on Channel 4 rips!

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

In?!

[@solanag1826]

Ugh will miss the show!

[@mariamikaella]

The best show I’ve ever seen. Sharon Horgan is a genius.

[@SanskarWagley]

Rob Delaney is the best

[@a.k.1351]

Watching this knowing this is what a grieving father painting over life looks like makes this a whole lot different.

[@staticcentrehalf7166]

Catastrophe kills Fleabag. How come the latter won at the Golden Globes?

[@nix2939]

@carol m I didn't like fleabag either. It also annoyed me that the lead writer made it so everybody wanted to have sex with her character, bit weird

[@bobsyouruncle732]

What show are they from? They never say.

[@danis4656]

Catastrophe...

[@tonygibson5171]

Love catastrophe and Sharon is soooo attractive.

[@davidowens5898]

I LOVE this show for the same reasons I loved Scrubs: there's no laugh track, because neither series NEEDS a laugh track; the writing is excellent and it's genuinely FUNNY. Imagine that.

[@davidowens5898]

Just a heads up about the 'caps'; I'd use italics...but there ain't no italics to use on my keybd. So...yer stuck with caps. For emphasis. Ya know.

[@orieldeleon9169]

rob is such a dilf now

[@vilebrequin6923]

Correct.

[@TheRogueStatesman]

season 4 of WHAT?!!!!!? hate this youtube editing of interviews...

[@cseptima]

Catastrophe

[@sidilicious11]

Catastrophe is the name of the series.

[@davidlance5310]

It must be more awkward for their loved ones that their show for the most part was them in bed together

[@swunt10]

both of them married unattraktive people. so that was their only chance of ever being in bed with an attractive person^^

[@tbz1551]

5:18 the yoghurt debate convo was first done by Jim Gaffigan on his “Jim Gaffigan Show” a few years ago..and it sounds nearly verbatim.

[@Karajorma]

Probably because every married couple has that exact argument at some point. Arguing that some particular show was the first to put it on TV sounds like the kind of thing that would also be a married couple's argument.

[@MM-dq2pi]

I think you'll find that it was stolen from me and my wife when we had that argument in 1956. [sarcasm]

[@telectronix1368]

@T BZ - earlier done by Gaffigan, maybe, but **first** done? Probably not.

[@thisboyjason]

I can't deny that there are parts of Catastrophe that are well-written, but I can't get over the lack of diversity and how narrow-minded the characters are. The episode that was transphobic and offensive to sex workers is what tipped it over the edge for me, so I can't support this show any more.

[@nix2939]

What episode was that? 🤔

[@A-small-amount-of-peas]

Then comedy isn't for you. The irony of you calling the characters narrow minded 😂

[@philbirkin4777]

“...support...”? You mean “...watch...”

[@bobsmith5441]

That has to be a joke : )

[@bcent5758]

Doesn’t she hate everyone in the show.
