During the course of my Summer Binge I caught up on the Amazon/British series Catastrophe.  The show focuses on a couple who find out they are expecting a baby after a brief fling they had while Rob, played by Delaney, visited the UK on business.  The show is a really great contribution to the romantic comedy genre, while also being more than just a rom com.  It is a very funny, sweet, and authentic look at something that feels like a realistic relationship.

Okay, we got all that out of the way.  Now onto the swoony Rob Delaney.  Would 12-year old Ellen have appreciated Rob?  No, probably not.  While I may have admired his sense of humor, I was not yet mature and sophisticated enough to appreciate his swarthy manliness, nor his metro lumberjack fashion sense.  But guess who does appreciate all of that in a big way?  This girl.

In summary, I dare you to watch the show and fall for Rob the Character and I dare you to read the following Twitter conversation and not fall in love with Rob the Man.  Such a man.  Ooh, boy.
