You, Me and the Apocalypse review

Armageddon time has never been so much fun - or so thoughtfully explored - and that friction makes this show a joy to watch.

You, Me and the Apocalypse blazes on US prime-time

Last Thursday was an exciting night for everyone at Sky. You, Me And The Apocalypse, a Sky original drama production, made its debut on US prime-time TV and it did really well. At 8pm across the United States, more than six million viewers tuned into NBC.

The end of the world is funnier than you'd think

It turns out that a strange combination of comedy, drama and mystery is just what you need with a comet heading toward the Earth.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 10 review

You, Me & The Apocalypse was a show that grew on me week by week. What initially seemed like a lighthearted romp darkened to become an expertly judged story of love, loss, betrayal, and sacrifice.

Sarah Hughes, Frame Rated, 4th December 2015

The final episode of a series that has done a fine job of showing the lighter side of total global annihilation. Tonight, Jamie struggles to bring together his loved ones, rescue Layla from the snares of his evil twin and reach the bunker before the approaching meteor strikes. Meanwhile, Sister Celine uncovers something that makes her more anxious than ever to survive the apocalypse, while those racing from America to Sutton's bunker are jeopardised when their plane ends up landing in a field.

Mat Baynton would be keen to make a second series

"If there's a second series it will be very different to the first... it will be about the bunker and how people get on in there or probably about the future when they emerge from that bunker."

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 9 review

Well, everything's coming into focus now as we head into the final straight. Or at least we have a pretty good idea of how most of our disparate gang end up in the Slough bunker.

Radio Times review

You don't get much bigger than the end of the world and Iain Hollands's drama squeezes every ounce of tension from the fact that Earth's destruction is not so much nigh as a living nightmare. "It's been quite a morning," says Mat Baynton's Jamie (or is it?) in the safety of the Slough bunker before we flash back to all the close shaves, dramatic escapes, self-sacrifice and redemption that have led to the final reckoning.

Earlier forays into the supernatural (we met God, played by June Whitfield) also prove not to be a one-off as divine intervention once more plays its part, alongside special effects of biblical proportions) There's a final twist, which may irritate you as much as it did me, but this is still an exciting and satisfying end to an excellent series.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 8 review

I loved the dancing nuns celebrating and partying. This show might be getting dark but it retains a seriously silly streak that's hard to resist.
