Still funny but slightly off the boil judging by this series four opener, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's comedy is starting to cram in just a little too much catastrophe: Rob has a car crash that somehow leads to him attracting a spooky stalker (the evergreen Julie Hesmondhalgh) and Sharon gets caught shoplifting.
Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 8th January 2019TV preview: Catastrophe, C4
This is the third sitcom I've reviewed in two days and with the greatest respect to BBC Three's Cuckoo and BBC Two's Semi-Detached, which are both extremely watchable, Catastrophe is by far the best of the trio.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th January 2019Catastrophe preview
Car crash TV that's still putting the fun into dysfunctional marriage. The Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney-penned romcom remains rooted in the reality of parental responsibilities, financial insecurity and body fluids.
Fiona Sturges, The Guardian, 5th January 2019For the last few years, Catastrophe has been one of the very finest comedies on television. However, 2019 is the year it all comes to an end. And, from what little information exists, it may be a bumpy ride. "We got to the last scene of the sixth episode and really, really embarrassingly, I kind of lost my shit a little bit," Sharon Horgan revealed back in September.

Hannah Gatward, British Film Institute, 4th December 2018While lacking the vulgar blunt force of her other show, Catastrophe, this Sharon Horgan-created series is more agreeably scabrous than most primetime comedy. In tonight's penultimate episode: mild criticism at a team-building event sends Laura into a shame spiral, and Alison reacts badly to news of her partner's low sperm count.
