Set somewhere in the UK, but it's always ridiculously sunny. Come on Ricky! Jokes aside, I loved it! Haha
-
I wasn't expecting this to be so deep, totally relatable characters of a small town that everyone knows each other. Really enjoyed it, I totally recommend it

I didnt lose my wife to death, however I have been separated for 4 years and have felt so sad and lost during that time, ....I so felt for Tony, and the sadness and hopelessness he felt..His attempting to turnaround his life, and allow himself to be grateful for what he once had and at least a 'hope' for the future was so inspiring to me....Kudos and thank you for giving me food for thought
-
Each episode I found myself laughing very hard and sobbing. The love he feels for Lisa and how loss can engulf you is portrayed unbelievably well. He is very, very funny, and swears a LOT, but it's a must see!!

I'm a 68 yr young man and this show had my eyes watering in every scene with "Tony" and the dog among other scenes. My dog who looked identical to Brandy passed away right in front of me (so tears there). Ricky did such a great job in writing/directing this show I thot I was watching a reality show of his life. I feel some of the emotions shown by Ricky were very real and must of had something to do with parts of his real life experiences. I've seen so many movies, shows, series etc in my lifetime but Afterlife TOPS them all. Thank you so much Ricky for the show and reminding me to tell my wife and loved ones "I love you".

Such a beautiful show, strange that its about killing yourself and a tiny budget. Shows thats all you need is quality writing to tell a story
-
Ricky Gervais is awesome and in this show it's more 'himself' than any other before.
-
Absolutely brilliant, when I watched this a few years back, I couldn't wait for a follow up season.
-
It's not for everyone, but what is? All at once fantastically hilarious and devastatingly sad; I was reminded what it is to laugh and cry at the same time. I wasn't expecting to be asked to reflect on my own grieving process, but I took the ride and am grateful for it.

Uncomfortable, dark but strangely compelling
