Grant H @RT95929188 Jun 29 A brilliant concept dragged down by inexplicable crudity and misogyny. If the main character is a knockabout everyman. I must mix in different circles with people who don't use c**t as punctuation mark or as a reflection of their misogynist souls. The psychologist's unnecessary descriptions of non-standard sexual activity also left me cold. It could have been so much better if the writer had concentrated on the main character's growth and renewal rather than descending to his adolescence where obscene language appears to be for pointless shock value but eventually becomes tedious.

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.

See more Ricca S @RT81925452 11/19/2023 Truly underrated. Cried and laughed a lot at the same time. One of the best shows in NF ever. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/24/2023 Not as strong as the first season but still a show well worth watching. The dark humour and emotional punch is still there, just not as frequently as season one See more Read all reviews
