I am not his biggest fan but After Life really is as good as people say. OK, but sorry, I just can't stand the sight of him. I accept that it's probably very well done, but it really doesn't sound like my sort of thing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can’t. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 My one criticism of Afterlife Spoiler Overuse of the 'c' word. If used sparingly it can be funny but it was used a lot and by people who wouldn't say it in everyday life. It seemed to be crammed in as often as possible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is used a lot in modern life, like Xela I just find it a bit forced, it's Gervais's usual tactic of creating that bit of shock factor and no doubt there will be a really schmaltzy ending. I'm only on the first episode as well. It can be funny, I nearly pissed myself watching Curb Your Enthusiasm for the first time recently (Contains naughty words) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
