The finale of Catastrophe: a perfect, poetic farewell
The show, as it always has done, invites us to think darkly, even if just for a second.
Anna Leszkiewicz, The New Statesman, 14th February 2019Catastrophe: greatest TV ending since The Sopranos
Daring, mysterious and affecting, the conclusion to Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney's sitcom will be remembered alongside the great small-screen finales.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 13th February 2019Catastrophe, Channel 4, series 4 finale review
Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney go out on a grief-stricken, hope-filled cliffhanger.
Jasper Rees, The Arts Desk, 13th February 2019Catastrophe: the final episode
Such density of scripting, combined with the dark humour and embarrassing realities, both made palatable by the screen charisma of Delaney and Horgan, should cement Catastrophe's place as a landmark in Britain's comedy terrain.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 13th February 2019Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan end their modern classic of a sitcom by moving to the US for the funeral of Rob's mum, who was played by the late Carrie Fisher. In a whirl of snarling grief are the usual cathartic transgressions, and a perfect blend of cynicism and sentimentality. Peerless.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 12th February 2019Catastrophe episode 6, finale review
The last ever episode highlights the fact there has really never been anything quite like this series before.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 12th February 2019Catastrophe finale review
Through four years of caustic dissection of marriage and parenthood, the charisma, warmth and chemistry of Catastrophe's brilliant leads ensured we went out on a high.
