Sharon Horgan

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's series about a one-night stand that turns into a pregnancy and an engagement should finally ensure these two hilarious - but hitherto niche - performers move towards the TV mainstream. Because here they cover truly universal themes: weird male friendships; pregnancy worries; the ghastliness and kindness of other people. Tonight's finale finds the couple preparing for their wedding, but not before they've gone through the traditional humiliations of the stag/hen night.

Radio Times review

Sharon is due - and so is a second series of this fabulous comedy. So it's perhaps no surprise that Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's delicious romance draws to a tense and dramatic conclusion. Will the cry of a baby drown out the peal of wedding bells? Will their ghastly friends and relations ruin the lovely couple's big day? Will Rob ever agree to a prostate massage?

I won't spoil things for you, but what I can promise is that our lovers are as deliciously rude, naughty and whip-crackingly funny as ever. And you'll be rooting for them right to the end.

Catastrophe: great actors, but they're too darn nice

Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney can do funny standing on their heads but Series 2 could really sing if they ditch the sweetness and keep their claws out.

Radio Times review

Virtually every imaginable relationship pitfall has beset Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's quirky odd couple since they decided to have a baby together after their brief affair. And in the fifth instalment of their comedy spectacular, this adorable pair continue to withstand everything that's thrown in their way.

Sharon cyber-stalks one of Rob's particularly beautiful exes after a cruel set-up by his mother (Carrie Fisher). And he is forced to face up to his exasperated US employers in an especially delicious (and foul-mouthed) Skype call. Carried along by the leads' superb chemistry and the power of love, it's as raw, dirty, quirky, tender, meaningful and touching as ever.

A "Catastrophic" romance

The couple I'm most interested in is one that can laugh together, support one another and basically resist bolting for the door every time the other one does something annoying. Meet Sharon (Sharon Horgan) and Rob (Rob Delaney), the most endearing accidental pair you'd ever want to meet.

Radio Times review

Sharon and Rob's odd life together has at last settled down, with Sharon Horgan's hormonal and pregnant Irishwoman enjoying a dinner date with an annoying ex she still seems to hanker after. We also find US ad guy Rob pursuing clandestine drinks with Chris (Mark Bonnar), the intense husband of Sharon's ghastly friend Fran (Ashley Jensen).

But despite the potential mishaps of their mild deceits, the sweetness and laughs continue unabated, with neither party showing any sign of being anything other than charming, fond, funny and understanding in this ground-breaking and grounded gem.

Sharon Horgan: comic with a keen eye and a sharp tongue

The comic writer has been critically acclaimed in the past for her TV work, but she's only ever flirted with mainstream appeal. Her ribald new romcom, Catastrophe, seems certain to change that.

Featuring the estimable talents of Sharon Horgan (Pulling) and Rob Delaney, Catastrophe looks the real deal: a properly adult comedy about the big things - relationships, childbirth, etc - that also features the gleefully puerile scene of a drunk woman urinating on a wedding ring. If that sounds like your thing, and really there's no reason why it shouldn't, the opening two episodes are available to view on 4oD.

Catastrophe: as beautifully rommy as it is commy

Eye-wateringly dirty and unusally soulful - Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's brilliantly funny Channel Four sitcom dodges the usual romcom pitfalls.
