Review: Catastrophe series 3 finale was heartbreaking
Knowing that it is one of the last time we'll see Fisher in a fresh role made it automatically bittersweet.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 4th April 2017Review: Comedians In Pubs Talking Comedy, BBC Three
It's cheap television certainly, but for comedy fans cheap television at its best. It only lasts 21 minutes but I could watch this sort of thing for 21 hours.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd April 2017"Gut-wrenching" editing Carrie Fisher's last scenes
Rob Delaney has revealed that Carrie Fisher features in "most" of the scenes in the final episode of Catastrophe series three.
Frances Taylor, Radio Times, 22nd March 2017Preview - Catastrophe
The delicious marital/domestic train wreck comedy penned by Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney continues as the couple get to put to one side their own dysfunctionality and infidelities for an evening at dinner with estranged couple Chris and Fran.
Gareth Hargreaves, On The Box, 21st March 2017What Catastrophe gets right (and wrong) about parenting
TV shows about modern parenthood are everywhere at the moment. But while you've got to hope that BBC One's chilling maternity leave thriller The Replacement isn't a story most mums can relate to, the possible psychopaths in Channel 4's Catastrophe are a little more recognisable: nasty little playground biters.
Isabel Mohan, The Telegraph, 10th March 2017Why Sharon Horgan is the most watchable woman on TV
The star of the brutally honest Catastrophe talks about why fans identify with the sitcom - and why it's tricky to watch HBO show Divorce with her husband.

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2017TV Review: Catastrophe, Series 3 Episode 2
Anyway, there's lots going on in this week's episode but the nicest aspect is the extremely watchable chemistry between Sharon and Rob.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th March 2017Catastrophe, series 3, episode 2 review
This show is at its best when it is skewering real-life situations with cynical, on-the-money lines. The subtle, blink-and-you'll-miss-them moments are the most effective. Car crash speeches are a comedy staple, and, sure, all very funny, but Catastrophe doesn't need to lower itself to such sitcom tropes. It's just doesn't need them.
Catherine Gee, The Telegraph, 7th March 2017Catastrophe remains the funniest programme on television, despite its success. Horgan and Delaney might justifiably have grown lazy: they haven't. Series three kicked off with the usual scatology from Sharon Horgan - it's never a programme I would recommend to Irish nuns, though I don't know that very many - mostly revolving around knicker-sweat. Hubby Rob Delaney, the forsworn teetotaller, is back on the booze, which is immensely promising. Mostly it promises an accident waiting to happen - just not a very interesting accident. Two milk-floats colliding. All you're left with is the smell of spilt milk, going off.
The genius lies in the creation of a couple who can kick seven leathers out of each other and achieve impossibly stupid circumstances, but remain clever enough to know it is, still, and will always be, clever them against the world.
