Extremely funny, very sad, depressing and uplifting #AfterLife is not only one of the best Netflix Originals but flat out one of the best shows on Netflix full stop. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Brilliant show! Just a pity it's only 3 hours total runtime...

It can be a bit slow going at the begining but after ep 3 the show really gets it's momentum.

Refreshing. British humour at its finest.

The most honest work of Ricky gervais. A show that can’t not make you want to be a better person and you will not have a dry eye at any point. Got me laughing then crying hysterically. Captivating from start to finish.

“After Life” deals with loss in a rather unsubtle manner, but it does offer some heartwarming moments and funny gags along the way.
Despite an interesting premise and first season, the show gets repetitive very quickly, spending too much time with the “quirky” but not so funny characters instead of focusing on the ones that could have offered some proper development and realistic emotions. It was also a pity to lose characters like Sandy and Roxy in the last season before closing their story arcs. Tony’s character development is not as eventful as you would expect, but it felt quite realistic in the end.
Lovely use of music and songs, it almost felt like a Christmas Carol without Christmas.

brilliant, masterpiece. great ending too, no need for further seasons

Absolutely marvellous show! I wish it hasn’t ended :”)

Ricky has proven that he's definitely not just a jerk about everything. After Life is a great show that manages to experience several emotions at once. You're constantly getting tears of sadness in your eyes when you laugh. There's probably nothing else like it. Even though almost all the episodes are about the same thing, it's always the last ones of each series that get me the most.

Great series. Funny, poignant and a great cast of characters.

Very cute, dry but warm-hearted show

This is a sad, but very funny show. It just shows how talented Ricky Gervais is when he's directing and acting in this. The swearing is a bit over the top - especially the 'C' word, but I guess that's acceptable in the U.K. now (wasn't when lived there). Great show however

Interesting show, worth a watch. More drama than comedy. There are some moments that will make you smile but not sure you will actually burst out laughing. Overall first season was good, but it felt like he wasn't sure he will get a second season so he kind of tried to wrap things up with some window open to continue the story. Then, season two feel like he now found out that he has a season three as well to do so some things feel kind of like a small "reset". The main tagline "he decides instead to live long enough to punish the world by saying and doing whatever he likes from now on" doesn't apply since by the end of season one he becomes good person again. And if feels like a drag to get to season three where I guess he will want to wrap to story up.
It could've been way better if he would've known from the start how many seasons/episodes he has to work with so he cold distribute the story better.

Highly recommended. Just a thing to make sure is that not to watch if you yourself are in a bad place. The story is funny and dead depressing at times.

So I did not think I would like this but as soon as I started to watch it I fell in love with every season and episode. So funny and typical English humour and the sadness actually made me cry. I told all my friend to watch it and they love it as much, will binge watch the whole lot again very soon as this made me emotional watching it, Bring on season 3 please....#AfterLife

A decent show, but not great.

I love The Office (UK) and Extras, After Life is less funny / more serious, and the humour quite a bit darker that way.

The main thing that irked me was that every episode follows pretty much the same pattern. Ricky watches video of his dead wife, goes on like the depressed bloke he is, then goes to his office, his psychiatrist, the cemetery, etc. It gets old.

It's still good enough for me to stay around for season 2. I'm definitely curious about how it continues.

Tears, smiles and laughter. I binged the three seasons in four days and absolutely loved it. "If you want to be an angel you've got to do it while you're alive. Be good and do good things."

Wow! What a wonderful finale episode. I am always amazed how this show makes me cry everytime.

This has to be one of the most underrated show ever!

Damn I need an Anne in my life

some Quotes from the show:
- "I have never net someone as sad as him yet he makes me laugh"
- "Good people do things for other people"
- "Nothing is as good if you don't have someone to share it with"
- "Women are better than men and they never stop trying to bring us up to their standard"
- "I feel panicked all the time like I am gonna do the wrong thing so I don't do anything"
- "I know just enough of the words to realise how little I understand"
- "A man who doesn't love too easily loves too much"
- "I am not well, but I do remember what it's like to be normal, so I do an impression of that"

Me after the series finale: “I’m not crying! You’re crying! ”

Such an amazing show; heartfelt, emotional and funny. Another Gervais masterpiece!

(Comments made as of their only being 2 seasons)


I loved this way more than I was expecting to, it's a great mix of comedy and sentimental moments. I think even the latter two episodes had me tearing u. This was well done and the comedy was over the top and felt very subtle, not forced at all.

So it's a drawn out, funny version of Love Liza. That's cool, I like it.

It is hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time. I loved the way it tackled the topic of grief

[Netflix] Ricky Gervais describes the stages of mourning death in three seasons of his most melancholic series. And although it seems somewhat repetitive in the third season, it is full of secondary characters that complete the personality of the protagonist. It is a thoughtful proposal about the value of life that ends with a masterful scene about the futility of our existence.

Really good show! watched it in two days. cried and laughed!
