My Take
Sharon Horgan is exactly the kind of creator I root for. She does not just act; she writes, produces, and stars in work that is funny and quietly devastating at once. Catastrophe and Bad Sisters prove she can mine real pain from family life and middle age without ever turning preachy, finding the dark joke in places others would soften. Comedy is the hardest thing to build well, and she clears that bar with apparent ease, again and again. I find her voice bracingly honest, unafraid of women behaving badly, and I trust her to keep delivering stories with bite.
