"Catastrophe" (2015-2019)

Irish comedian Sharon Horgan and American comic Rob Delaney write and star in this hilarious and often moving show from Channel 4. The premise is simple: the couple are thrown together after she becomes pregnant after a one night stand. Horgan and Delaney are funny, relatable, and flawed, while the supporting cast (including the late, great Carrie Fisher) offer up even more comic brilliance. What really makes it stand out is its ability to tackle difficult topics with both humour and sensitivity, and it ends on an optimistic, if ambiguous, note.
