If you’re like me, binge-watching a series in a single day is a rare treat. But when the season consists of just six episodes and I can cozy up in bed with my laptop, well, that’s a different story. Last weekend, I found myself completely absorbed in Catastrophe.
The series kicks off with Rob and Sharon engaging in a week-long romance while he’s in London for work. Shortly after, Sharon, who is “of advanced maternal age,” discovers she is pregnant, prompting Rob to relocate to London so they can navigate this unexpected journey together.
Now, a little secret: I’ve been a fan of Jake since high school when he starred in my rival school’s musical productions. Fast forward 20 years, and he still knows how to steal the show, leaving me slightly starstruck!
If you haven’t yet checked out Catastrophe, here are ten reasons why you absolutely should:
- Jake: Back to our leading man! Jake has carved out a niche for himself as a hilarious comedian with a huge Twitter following. Plus, he’s undeniably charming—bringing back all those high school feelings.
- Sharon: His co-writer and co-star is just as delightful. Sporting a wardrobe reminiscent of Mr. Rogers, she pulls it off with such style that you can’t help but crush on her too!
- The Dynamic Duo: The chemistry between Jake and Sharon is so genuine, it’s hard to believe they’re not a couple off-screen.
- Authentic Dialogue: The conversations feel so real. Take this gem for example: “You let me put my penis in your mouth, but you won’t let me put my T-shirts in your drawer?” “Please don’t rush me, Jake.”
- British Charm: Watching a British show instantly elevates your cultural sophistication—who doesn’t want that?
- A Bit Raunchy: It’s hilarious, slightly vulgar, and definitely not for the faint-hearted, but that’s part of its charm!
- A Love Story: At its core, it’s a heartfelt love story. And who doesn’t enjoy a good romance?
- Realistic Parenting: The show gets it right: “We could do this and not mess up the kid too badly.” Isn’t that what we’re all aiming for?
- Perfect Length: Some say the season is too short, but with just six episodes, it’s the perfect amount to binge while also tackling laundry and whipping up meals.
- Budget-Friendly: It’s available for free on Amazon Prime, which is even free this month if you’re not a member yet!
Seriously, give it a go. I bet you’ll be hooked!
