Catastrophe Is Still the Best Rom-Com on TV

If you feel robbed of seeing Frankie's birth and the new parents deal with an infant, know that Horgan and Delaney, who once again penned all six episodes, came up with the arc of Season 2 first.

[...] in the throes of parenthood, Rob and Sharon hit plenty of familiar beats: disparate appetite for sex after childbirth (he's not fond of the "sexual rainchecks"), breastfeeding problems, possible post-partum depression, when Sharon should return to work, if Rob should quit his job, how they should celebrate their anniversary (he's booked a cheese-making class; she's against it).

Lesser shows would take a single disagreement and turn it into the insurmountable A plot of an episode.

Like any true couple, Rob and Sharon operate on a level of bemused annoyance with each other that makes their lovely, quirky small moments all the warmer and more genuine.

Sharon's dad (Gary Lilburn) is showing signs of dementia and her brother Fergal (Jonathan Forbes) has money problems and secretly turns to Rob for help.
