Catastrophe is premiering on US Amazon on 19th June

The American version of Amazon is expecting Rob Delaney's new pregnancy-themed comedy series Catastrophe to arrive next month.

Rob Delaney: 'I am very good at sitting in a Jacuzzi'

He's been sober for 13 years after almost dying in a drunken car crash. But Rob Delaney can still be savage on stage. The standup and star of Catastrophe talks about jail, rehab and the joys of causing offence.

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney wrote and starred in this hilarious comedy about a transatlantic couple who go from one-week-stand to prospective parents. The dialogue is sharp, the characters believable, and the humour impressively balances the sweet with the downright coarse.

Catastrophe review: a delightfully blundering finale

The last of six very funny episodes signed off, not with style, but with some wonderfully deranged carnage from Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney.

Review: Catastrophe

Here we have a comedy that is truly innovative; it is upbeat, contemporary and bold.

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's series about a one-night stand that turns into a pregnancy and an engagement should finally ensure these two hilarious - but hitherto niche - performers move towards the TV mainstream. Because here they cover truly universal themes: weird male friendships; pregnancy worries; the ghastliness and kindness of other people. Tonight's finale finds the couple preparing for their wedding, but not before they've gone through the traditional humiliations of the stag/hen night.

Radio Times review

Sharon is due - and so is a second series of this fabulous comedy. So it's perhaps no surprise that Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's delicious romance draws to a tense and dramatic conclusion. Will the cry of a baby drown out the peal of wedding bells? Will their ghastly friends and relations ruin the lovely couple's big day? Will Rob ever agree to a prostate massage?

I won't spoil things for you, but what I can promise is that our lovers are as deliciously rude, naughty and whip-crackingly funny as ever. And you'll be rooting for them right to the end.

Catastrophe: great actors, but they're too darn nice

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney can do funny standing on their heads but Series 2 could really sing if they ditch the sweetness and keep their claws out.

Catastrophe is one of the funniest UK comedies in years

Comedy is bloody hard to do, so when something as wonderfully funny as Channel 4's Catastrophe appears, it feels exciting.

Radio Times review

Virtually every imaginable relationship pitfall has beset Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's quirky odd couple since they decided to have a baby together after their brief affair. And in the fifth instalment of their comedy spectacular, this adorable pair continue to withstand everything that's thrown in their way.

Sharon cyber-stalks one of Rob's particularly beautiful exes after a cruel set-up by his mother (Carrie Fisher). And he is forced to face up to his exasperated US employers in an especially delicious (and foul-mouthed) Skype call. Carried along by the leads' superb chemistry and the power of love, it's as raw, dirty, quirky, tender, meaningful and touching as ever.
