The show moves along nicely without assuming the viewers need every single nuance spelled out. Rob and Sharon play so well off of each other you start to wonder, "Are these two married in real life?"
The supporting cast is also hilarious and don't think for a moment that their roles are anything less than stellar.
"Chris" (Mark Bonnar) is already one of my favorites. His description of his wife's, Fran, child birthing experience had me laughing so hard, I scared my dog.
Give it a try! The first episode WILL get you hooked into binge watching. Then you wait for the next episodes like the rest of us.

Travelling in the UK American businessman Rob meets attractive Sharon, a teacher in her late thirties. The pair have an instant attraction and hit it off, it's more then a one night stand, but when Rob returns to the USA the pair think they can draw a line under their encounter. However weeks later Sharon rings Rob to tell he she's pregnant. He returns to be with her for the pregnancy, they encounter highs and lows until the big day.
Sharon Horgan is so funny as Sharon, she's a foxy woman with great comedy timing, she gets some wonderfully sarcastic lines. Rob Delaney is also great as Rob (I love how they both keep their own Christian names,) Mr nice guy and American beefcake. They combine so well.
Sometimes you can't help but laugh when you know you probably shouldn't be, but it truly is outrageously funny.
Of Series 1, Parts 1 and 6 I'd say are the best of the episodes, so cool that it got a second series.
Channel 4 comedies keep on delivering! 9/10

I watch this show on the train on the way home from the city (London) and consistently embarrass myself when I 'lol' in a relatively quiet carriage.
This is not normally my cup of tea, but the downright blatant comedy has me in stitches. It's the kind of jokes you have with your very close friends but probably wouldn't say in the office, if you're conservative.
I watched the show because it was featured and now I use it to cheer myself up before I get home everyday. The characters compliment each other incredibly well and I'm a sucker for transatlantic relationships, I think the dynamic of English vs American is interesting when written well, many of the myths Americans have of the English and vice versa are dispelled.
Essential viewing, I hope Amazon do themselves a favour (favor) and market this show a little more aggressively, I think with the right marketing this show will become a massive hit.

This is the funniest sitcom I have seen in years! Growing up around the New York area and being a huge fan Seinfeld, is maybe why I love this, but I love this even more! I couldn't stop laughing watching this on a British Airways flight coming back to the US from London. I watched 3 episodes on the plane, and watched the rest on Amazon Prime as soon as it was available. I've seen Sharon in other shows, but Rob is new to me and I just love them together! His comments on rationalizing her freak out moments are absolutely brilliant! Watch the first episode, its all you need to get hooked. If you don't like the first, you're a wet rag and stop watching, you won't get the rest of them either.
It is so difficult in this day and age to find truly funny comedies. This is a bit raunchy, sure, but isn't it billed as an adult comedy? Puritans stay away, but then this is more like real comedians doing real stand-up.
Rob and Sharon are perfect together: honest, outspoken and very funny!
I love the situations, this stuff really happens, but I would imagine, rarely so funnily!
Great actors, fast-paced dialogue and if you have a real sense of humor (did you "get" Robin Williams? Did you love Richard Pryor?) you will laugh out loud. I hope this show continues!
