In what may be the most pleasant TV surprise of this young year (although it actually premiered in the U.K. in late 2015), NBC’s “You, Me and the Apocalypse,” premiering Thursday, Jan. 28, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, achieves the near-impossible — it’s a comedy-drama on a broadcast network that manages to be both comedic and dramatic, and could be a positive portrayal of Catholicism to boot.
