In the season premiere, Rob picks up where he left off last time, with an unexplained receipt for the morning after pill. He accuses her of infidelity but she explains that she took it after they last had sex.
Catastrophe has given this couple so many chances to wash their hands of one another, but one of the show's underlying strengths is that they so clearly don't want to.
Though its subject matter is considerably darker than it has been in seasons past, Catastrophe season 3 doesn't skimp on the jokes, which feel punchier in response to the weightier subject matter.
The good news is that Catastrophe, returning for an eagerly awaited third season, shows no sign of getting any less funny despite the mood darkening considerably.
If there's a complaint to be made about Catastrophe, it shouldn't be that the drama is interfering with the laughs; it should be what it always and justifiably is -- that the six-episode seasons are too short.
In its third season, Catastrophe lives up to its own name in a more urgent way than ever -- and pulls off telling a deceptively tricky story while it's at it.
Horgan and Delaney, who also write the show, know that the best you can hope for in marriage is a person who will lie next to you night after night, listen to your fears and make you laugh. Honestly, that really means a lot.
It's the brilliant thing about Catastrophe that, under a pile of knickers and all the filth, it is actually very sweet. Romantic, even. That and the fact that it is hilarious; the filth is top notch, glorious filth.
Their relationship skirts the grey area between endearing and disastrous, but until now there's been more focus on Sharon's emotional landscape, while Rob's arc has concentrated more on the circumstantial.
Funny, outrageous and sometimes heartbreaking, Catastrophe works because, at its very good heart, it's about two flawed people who made a commitment and are sticking to it.
