Review: In Catastrophe, true love is not convenient
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney in Catastrophe, a show about a marriage that works even if it isn't a storybook.
James Poniewozik, The New York Times, 13th March 2019Catastrophe: Season Four Review
How to end a show like Catastrophe? Delaney and Hogan were always able to strike the perfect balance between side-splitting humour and emotional devastation, and the final scene is no different.

When did television become so explicit about sex? If you're not given to watching Channel 4 after 10pm, then recently you might have missed Pure, The Bisexual and Catastrophe - which would be a pity, as they are all superb. And then there is BBC Three's Fleabag, which returns for a second season next week.

Ellie Harrison, Radio Times, 13th February 2019Catastrophe, Channel 4, series 4 finale review
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney go out on a grief-stricken, hope-filled cliffhanger.
Jasper Rees, The Arts Desk, 13th February 2019Catastrophe: the final episode
Such density of scripting, combined with the dark humour and embarrassing realities, both made palatable by the screen charisma of Delaney and Horgan, should cement Catastrophe's place as a landmark in Britain's comedy terrain.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 13th February 2019Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan end their modern classic of a sitcom by moving to the US for the funeral of Rob's mum, who was played by the late Carrie Fisher. In a whirl of snarling grief are the usual cathartic transgressions, and a perfect blend of cynicism and sentimentality. Peerless.
