Marco L @decatur555 Jun 23 After Life is a wonderful mix of brutal comedy and heartbreaking drama. Ricky Gervais plays Tony as a man destroyed by grief, but the series is smart enough not to turn pain into automatic nobility. Tony can be cruel, selfish and unbearable, yet behind every savage line there is the huge emptiness of someone who no longer knows how to keep living after losing the person he loved most. The show can be blunt, sometimes too obvious, and some lines feel written to be quoted, but when it works, it hits hard. It makes you laugh at terrible things and then suddenly destroys you with a video of Lisa, a cemetery conversation, the dog, or a small act of kindness. It is funny, painful, tender and deeply human: a beautiful series about grief, love and learning to stay alive.

Sadly lacking in both depth and humour See more Aye E @RT43717499 Nov 24 I really loved the world he created here, the various characters and the honest portrayal of pain.

Loved every minute I could get of this series it perfectly blends a heartbreaking few years of a mans life with stark stubborn humour and honesty.

Even viewers who haven’t faced similar circumstances will find themselves empathizing with the emotional weight carried by the main character himself. Beyond simply portraying the struggle to heal, the show offers profound insight into how we all cope, reminding us that beneath anything we show unto the world, everyone faces their own private battles. A definite MUST-SEE!
