I liked Hello Ladies too, it was decent. Sick Of It with Pilkington wasn’t bad either. Neither were amazing, but both were watchable.
I’m in a minority with Gervais in that I think his more recent work is his best. I loved The Office, Extras and life’s Too Short, but Derek and Afterlife are on another level for me. Also, Humanity is one of my favourite stand up shows ever, I thought it was brilliant from start to finish and easily his best stand-up by a country mile.
His films are ok, nowhere near his TV shows though.
