"The Office" and "Extras" creator Ricky Gervais gets animated in this half-hour comedy series, which features the voices of Gervais, his longtime collaborator Stephen Merchant and their eccentric friend Karl Pilkington. The cartoon first appeared years ago as a radio show in London before it gained a massive audience when Gervais and Merchant turned it into a podcast, adding at that time Pilkington's offbeat contributions. Its HBO incarnation consists of the podcasts' audio coupled with the trio's animated likenesses, and story lines mainly revolve around the musings of Pilkington, whom Gervais affectionately terms "a bottomless well of stupidity."

Without that undercurrent of real affection, the show could easily feel like an exercise in bear-baiting. Go to Full Review Sean Gandert Paste Magazine 06/19/2018
In all, a very strong premiere episode that has some long stretches of the craziest stories the show's featured thus far. It was also very nicely animated Go to Full Review Read all reviews
