After Life

Watched it all now, the first 5 episodes were class, the final episode reminded me of gervais films, dumbed down sentimentality for US audiences. Shame. Still a toppa series. Hope there’s another...
Rewatching Extras on Netflix, what a fantastic series that is.
 


I thought it was brilliant, I'm not here to argue why it's just my opinion. I see bits of myself in Tony through personal circumstances in my life, and it was nice to have a character I could relate to.

I thought the end of episode 4 , through episode 5, was brilliant TV. Had a tear & a laugh in most episodes.

Me as well, one person dissecting it who thought Arctic Monkeys latest album was amazing (wtf) and someone else arguing that there were too many staff in the office for a free newspaper ffs!

Thought it was sentimental but so fuck, it struck an almighty chord with me
 
Never mind arguing about Gervais, this series poised some very relevant and pertinent questions ....

Daphne or Emma ?

See , a lot of Gervais’ work has a number of levels to explore ;)
 
I thought the visualisation of the heroin experience at the end of episode 2 was phenomenal. As he lay back on the sofa onto his (dead) wife’s lap as she stroked his hair. If you can never get your head around why people fall into opiate addiction.....that’s it, right there.

Why would taking a little heroin have a lasting effect?

It’s a piece of television, with good and bad bits. I don’t want realism when I’m searching for escapism through my television.
