Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

juinrenee Laugh out loud funny. I love the adult humor. Absolutely smart. You won't be disappointed in this show. I love the interaction between the two main characters and I wondered if they were married in real life. Speaks to reality in a funny way. Take time to watch this show. These are people who are like my friends but better and honest.

Dave This Channel 4 sitcom is well-written and well-acted. Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney are brilliant together. The first series is excellent and hilarious. However, series two is disappointing. Series three is better than the second, but not as good as the first.

hello-07474 Instead of listing all the reasons why this show is so brilliant, I need to address the people that gave it a low score.I know the American guy wrote this series, but it is written in tune with the characters you will meet in the UK.The only people that gave this series a low score were from American cities. NOW wait... I do know that a lot of Americans scored this show highly, however, the only ones that didn't understand or like it were also from the USA.Now, without being negative or discriminatory, I have to say that this show has a LOT of UK based characterization and cultural references that are so subtle yet prevalent throughout the whole series.You don't have to be from or have lived in the UK to love this show, however, it really helps. The 'annoying' or 'depressing' or 'rude' characters that some people were complaining about are actually very accurate if not slightly exaggerated for comedic reasons. To address some of the comments on the jokes not being funny, well, they are not so much 'jokes' rather than witty responses to cultural observations. Wit plays a huge part in the structure of comedy of the UK. It IS different to the USA in that respect. I am not saying American comedy is not witty, I am saying that in the UK it is a base structure and not so much a additive like it is in USA comedies. Neither is better than the other.Just like Costanza in Seinfeld who demonstrates the highly anxious, elaborate and morally confused New Yorker, Catastrophe highlights the stereotypes of the UK in just as an elaborate way. Comedy in the UK is based around financial struggle, family problems, outlining how miserable and depressed one can get very quickly with the sharp turn of ill-fortune as well as keeping their chin up and making the most of it all by cutting someone else down for instant gratification. The wit is expressed by self deprecation and dark comedy as an observation and reaction to these dire circumstances. Comedy in the USA has a lot of different traits and I love them both. USA comedies are more often than not set in mid to high level income groups that either live in conveniently rent controlled penthouse apartments or 6 bedroom, 3 storey houses in affluent suburbs. UK comedies are usually set in low income groups where the character's lives are threatened by poverty or being perpetually ordinary.These reasons are why some people may not quite like or get the comedic flow and brilliance of this show.I do love comedies from both the UK and USA and there is no competition between them. If you don't like Catastrophe then you either simply don't like it or you don't understand the subtleties of the UK culture. THAT is NOT a bad thing, I am just saying that it happens, just like I would not understand the subtleties of Indian comedy or German comedy. They might not understand USA comedy either, it's more of a cultural gap than an intelligence thing so do not think I am putting anyone down. Thanks.

niclas wisen Came across a episode on browsing the regular tabloid TV and got stuck. Had to stream from the beginning and has so far seen 3 episodes. Its freaking awesome the dialog is so fun and Carry Fishers character is great (not to mention that she is still hot even tough she is really old). As I said the dialog is so much fun its like Deb from Dexter wrote it. My favorite line from episode 2 is when Rob speaks to his friend who says that the should get together an do something. Rob says yeah and he asks -do you like the ballet ? -well sure rob replies and his friend replies ..F-G. Its such a low level humour but delivered in such a precise way. recommend it the most still have lots of episodes left but since the first one i saw was the latest one it wont be a disappointment.
