The Evil One July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 I binge watched it as soon as it was available and subsequently convinced a few friends to watch it. As they have begun to watch it, I find myself re-watching it so I can enjoy it again with them. Sharon Horgan is amazing - witty, sharp and emotional at the right times. I want to watch every thing she has ever done now; she's just that brilliant. I just finished re-watching Episode 4 where she has the amnio and then ends with her seeing the mother/daughter curbside at the airport. It's one of those scenes that makes this show so fantastic - it breaks out all the feels. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28254-catastrophe-general-discussion/#findComment-1291757
msani19 July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 My BF & I binged the show over the July 4th weekend. We totally loved it! I plan on watching it again this weekend while he's out with his friends (don't tell him!). It was so nice to see a real couple who were learning how to relate to each other with minimal amounts of drama. My BF did say at one point, that Rob was making it really hard for all men out there! The show is well-written, well-acted, funny, witty, and clever. There were so many great lines that we are already quoting to each other, which has only upped the "lord, they are so weird together" with our friends! I've followed Rob on Twitter forever so I was already familiar with him and I love his sense of humor. Sharon is new to me, but I love her. I plan to look up her other work. I both loved and hated that we only had 6 episodes. Obviously, I want more and more, it's SO good! But I know you can't maintain excellent quality over hundreds of episodes. Can not wait for season 2! Yea, I did also say what the f is she wearing when she showed up at the wedding! lol. Don't know where this goes in the thread but I saw this really interesting interview with Rob & Sharon: http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/27/catastrophe-rob-delaney-sharon-horgan-amazon 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28254-catastrophe-general-discussion/#findComment-1306485

You're right. i know you're right. I just surprised at how cliff-hangy the ending was right after the fight. I did see in the EW article that there's a time gap between the season 1 cliffhanger events and the events in first episode of season 2. So now I wonder if the baby will have already been born or not. A lot of women think their water broke when it hadn't actually.

kieyra August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 Agree with previous post--loved this right up until the last five minutes. The reason these two have worked is because they both have a good sense of humor and take things in stride. I could get that the reality of being married might be the catalyst for a scuffle, but Rob went from being a generally nice guy to saying things I would consider unforgivable--and then he doubles down on them. I also don't understand if it means we are supposed to think Sharon is the awful negative person he describes, and the dialogue is all weighted towards him attacking her for being whiny. She makes the crack about his job, but spends most of the fight defending herself. It was very uncomfortable. If I was with someone who SUDDENLY displayed all this resentment and hatefulness towards me that they'd seemingly been choking back for months, I don't think I would want to be there anymore. And we had no hint this was coming on his part, or if we did I missed it. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28254-catastrophe-general-discussion/#findComment-1448003

Corgi-ears October 29, 2015 Share October 29, 2015 I did like the surprise of the time jump, but I worry that they've blown up the original premise of the show too much. Part of the delight of Season 1, for me, was in watching these two people forced into intimacy by the unplanned pregnancy. It was an anti-rom com rom com. Is the show now just more about harried parents who fight, quite viciously sometimes, and have odd friends and troublesome parents? It could still subvert the family com, but it could also just become...like every other family com. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/28254-catastrophe-general-discussion/#findComment-1651416

kieyra December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Overall I thought it was a strong second season. I guess we got so much of American guy to draw a parallel when Rob began to spiral downward. I was just slightly confused by the ending--hadn't Rob and Sharon had sex the day after her blackout bar sex? In other words, was there any reason for him to see the plan B and automatically assume infidelity? Wouldn't he just assume she took it to avoid pregnancy after their makeup sex? I know we heard them discuss contraception but I didn't think they'd agreed on anything. (Oh God, I'm now remembering Sharon looking through her clothes from the night before and trying to decide something I'm not totally clear on, because I've never had a morning after like that.

eyebleach December 4, 2015 Share December 4, 2015 Sharon was smelling her underwear to try to see if she'd had sex with the guy. I don't think we got resolution to the birth control thing because if we had either she had an IUD, ergo Plan B wasn't needed OR Rob got a vasectomy in which case their sex wouldn't matter but I would think they would have made something out of him having surgery of that nature.

Have to say, I was shocked how Rob seemed to imply his good natured, take things on stride nature was done to "do the right thing" in the last five minutes of the finale. That really felt out of character as he hadn't really resorted to telling her about her "neuroses" any of the other times outside of finding the humor in it and getting her to laugh about it.
