TV shows about modern parenthood are everywhere at the moment.

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2017TV Review: Catastrophe, Series 3 Episode 2
Anyway, there's lots going on in this week's episode but the nicest aspect is the extremely watchable chemistry between Sharon and Rob.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th March 2017Catastrophe, series 3, episode 2 review
This show is at its best when it is skewering real-life situations with cynical, on-the-money lines. The subtle, blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments are the most effective. Car crash speeches are a comedy staple, and, sure, all very funny, but Catastrophe doesn't need to lower itself to such sitcom tropes. It's just doesn't need them.
