Have you been watching: You, Me and the Apocalypse?

This increasingly addictive, end-of-the-world show is full of intricate plotting and great sight gags, but also manages to be a moving drama about loneliness.

Not as funny or dramatic as I'd like it to be, but the story's proving far more complex than I'd anticipated. A lot of thought has gone into constructing the plot, which is great to see. Things noticeably progress every single week and I find myself drawn deeper into its world, as the interconnectedness of the characters become more obvious. I hope it ends as strongly as I'm imagining it might, but a part of me suspects they'll leave a door open for an unnecessary return. British shows have a frustrating tendency to do that nowadays, as they want to look more appealing to overseas broadcasters--who may not think much to buying a ten-part 'miniseries', but may like the idea of buying a long-running drama starring Rob Lowe. The fact there's a literal countdown to apocalypse built into the story keeps me hopeful YMATA isn't going to wriggle out of giving us a good ending.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 7 review

Watching You, Me & The Apocalypse this week it occurred to me that what I love about this show is its humanity.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 6 review

Well, excuse me while I get my breath back because that was quite an episode of You, Me & The Apocalypse!

The original title Apocalypse Slough might have suited this series better, but its transatlantic potential precluded that provincial option. Still, this is a great, mordant end-of-the-world drama, finely led by Mathew Baynton, of Horrible Histories and Yonderland fame. He's joined by big names, such as Rob Lowe and Megan Mullally - and Diana Rigg, who features as shadowy, oxygen-guzzling Sutton. Tonight, Scotty tries to make up for mistakes and Jamie is shaken by a sudden tragedy.

Radio Times review

The end of the world is now just 14 days away and the breadth, scope and ambition of Iain Hollands's thrilling, good-hearted drama has not waned.

Mat Baynton's Jamie is on the hunt for his daughter and he finds quite a few answers this episode. Meanwhile Operation Saviour could be in jeopardy unless Kyle Soller's Scotty saves the day - but he might have to sacrifice his lovely sister to save the planet. The questions and dilemmas are pretty epic for Rob Lowe's Father Jude and sexy Sister Celine as well. Does God want what the audience has been crying for all series - that they actually get it on? Betrayals, life, love, death, deception and the odd stunningly implausible coincidence - this series has it all.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 5 review

We're at the halfway point in Iain Hollands' inventive You, Me & The Apocalypse, and, perhaps understandably, this episode aimed to give everyone a chance to breathe, take stock, and see where our heroes are and where they're all going.

Radio Times review

After tonight's thrilling instalment you may be left wondering which of the major protagonists are NOT actually related to each other. And while the web of coincidences could leave you gasping at times, there seems, with 18 days until the comet lands, a more plausible sense of a world facing imminent destruction than hitherto as we witness greater panic and ennui to go with all the abandoned streets, schools and banks.

And despite being introduced to a fabulously deranged Diana Rigg, this is also perhaps the most emotional and moving episode in a very strong series. Pauline Quirke in particular comes into her own as the wonderful Paula, who defends her son Jamie (Mat Baynton) like a cornered tigress.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 4 review

Poor Max -- just as I was beginning to warm to him with his whole 'maybe there is a God, hey maybe we're the chosen ones... perhaps my family could be saved' shtick, he up and dies on me.

You, Me And The Apocalypse - Episode 3 review

One of the things I like most about You, Me and the Apocalypse is the way the story's slowly deepening every week.
