Be Mine
These shows are a sharp and likable crowd, unafraid of fun and pleasure, like friends of friends at a party you're glad you showed up for. In contrast to Hollywood's rom-coms--whose pleasures often feel like "settling"--their TV analogues have a romanticism that is at once earnest and earned.

It's anything but a catastrophe.

The show benefits from a generous supply of credibility.
David Wiegand, The Columbus Dispatch, 22nd June 2015Catastrophe: romcom that banned the words 'I love you'
A hit on British TV making its American debut on Amazon Prime, this collaboration between Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney about a surprise pregnancy is a cultural crossbreed - and very funny.
Brian Moylan, The Guardian, 22nd June 2015Overlooking 'Catastrophe' would be a disaster

Catastrophe is a delightful study in contradictions. It's a high-concept comedy with low-key execution, and it's at once filthy on a level that's impressive even in the year 2015, yet almost shockingly normal despite that.

British Comedy Guide, 19th June 2015Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan interview
Everyone on Twitter knows who Rob Delaney is -- the acerbic Boston-bred comic is one of the platform's most ubiquitous voices -- and everyone across the pond is in love with the smart, sharp humor of Irish comedian Sharon Horgan. Now, the two comics have joined forces for the hilarious new Amazon sitcom, Catastrophe. Even though Delaney and Horgan are both Twitter superstars, don't expect the social media platform to have anything at all to do with the show.
