Save your money for something good and enjoyable

One of my all time favorites.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

What a disappointment! Season 1 was very funny and creative, every episode was fun to watch. Season 2 was a total flop. It's as if the writers lost all their mojo. It was like watching a comedian whose tells sex jokes because he can't be funny. Season 2 was a waste of time.

I never seen like that tv show to racist to Turkish. I can't believe that nobody made it complain till now. On the episode 4 start from 3.05 minutes elder guy said that Rynair they sat on me next to Turkish and the conversation continue more stupidly. I felt that really offensive what is wrong with Turkish Man and Rynair or any other company should pay attention when they sat them to next to other nationality especially Irish? This is discrimination and its illegal in the UK.

The best thing about catastrophe is its realism. Yet at best, its realistic because its mundane. But that's life, right?But mundane isn't necessarily bad - curb your enthusiasm demonstrates this well, showing how sometimes, the funniest humor can be found in the simplest of situations. But this is just mundane. Its dull. No wit, no originality and despite its realism, somehow the characters still seem so unlikable. I get that Sharon isn't meant to be portrayed as perfect. I get that we are meant to see her flaws, as a real human being. But she's just not a very interesting human. The same goes for Rob (the other main character) - he's just a bit of a boring man. No quirks, a glimmer of a personality. His character almost develops a bit at one point, but then nope. Nothing. The jokes are sometimes worth a little chuckle, but only an inside voice chuckle. Not memorable, not witty...Its one redeeming feature is that it has a very funny Scottish guy in it. Apart from that, meh.

Instead of listing all the reasons why this show is so brilliant, I need to address the people that gave it a low score.I know the American guy wrote this series, but it is written in tune with the characters you will meet in the UK.The only people that gave this series a low score were from American cities. NOW wait... I do know that a lot of Americans scored this show highly, however, the only ones that didn't understand or like it were also from the USA.Now, without being negative or discriminatory, I have to say that this show has a LOT of UK based characterization and cultural references that are so subtle yet prevalent throughout the whole series.You don't have to be from or have lived in the UK to love this show, however, it really helps. The 'annoying' or 'depressing' or 'rude' characters that some people were complaining about are actually very accurate if not slightly exaggerated for comedic reasons. To address some of the comments on the jokes not being funny, well, they are not so much 'jokes' rather than witty responses to cultural observations. Wit plays a huge part in the structure of comedy of the UK. It IS different to the USA in that respect. I am not saying American comedy is not witty, I am saying that in the UK it is a base structure and not so much a additive like it is in USA comedies. Neither is better than the other.Just like Costanza in Seinfeld who demonstrates the highly anxious, elaborate and morally confused New Yorker, Catastrophe highlights the stereotypes of the UK in just as an elaborate way. Comedy in the UK is based around financial struggle, family problems, outlining how miserable and depressed one can get very quickly with the sharp turn of ill-fortune as well as keeping their chin up and making the most of it all by cutting someone else down for instant gratification. The wit is expressed by self deprecation and dark comedy as an observation and reaction to these dire circumstances. Comedy in the USA has a lot of different traits and I love them both. USA comedies are more often than not set in mid to high level income groups that either live in conveniently rent controlled penthouse apartments or 6 bedroom, 3 storey houses in affluent suburbs. UK comedies are usually set in low income groups where the character's lives are threatened by poverty or being perpetually ordinary.These reasons are why some people may not quite like or get the comedic flow and brilliance of this show.I do love comedies from both the UK and USA and there is no competition between them. If you don't like Catastrophe then you either simply don't like it or you don't understand the subtleties of the UK culture. THAT is NOT a bad thing, I am just saying that it happens, just like I would not understand the subtleties of Indian comedy or German comedy. They might not understand USA comedy either, it's more of a cultural gap than an intelligence thing so do not think I am putting anyone down. Thanks.
