Went on too long too I dunno, the last couple of series were as good as anything. There did strangely seem to be a bit of a lull in the middle through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 That SAS programme Yes it's celebs but it can be funny and moving when the interrogators are digging up shit on their history. I thought Bellew would be the first to assault someone... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really a big fan of standup or sitcoms (some sketch shows are OK). I particularly dislike 'cringe' comedy - The Office was just too much like real life, it was sad.

Popular Post Withnail Posted April 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2020 After Life. It is a hard watch for me. Wife died two years ago this coming Wednesday. The only difference between the main character and me is he is a fat clearing in the woods and has a dog. I am thin and, well, I like to think that I am not a clearing in the woods. And I have a cat. She is deaf and drives me crazy. I am sure there are a lot of folk on here that have had similar losses. Grief does take many paths. Having said that pretty much everything he said I have voiced at one time or another and still do. So it is not a typical Gervais comedy but there are laughs. I hope for a third season. Three game of thrones actors as well for the those that think “who the f*** is that and why is he so familiar” 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No spoilers, please. I didn't realise it wasn't broadcast yet in the UK, I guessed it would be yesterday night. I always torrent it on Monday mornings afters it's broadcast in the US on their Sunday nights. Of course no spoilers though, just enjoy and share your thoughts after!

Villan_of_oz Posted April 28, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) I was scared to watch After life season 2, after loving the first season so much. Wife and binged watch season 2 the other night and I thought it was nothing short of brilliant. Gervais proving he is no one trick pony! My wife thinks Tony is closest she has seen to someone like me. Still sorting out if that's a compliment or an insult If you liked S1 and you'll love S2.

Rodders Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I'll be honest, I don't get the level of appeal for After Life. The dialogue is atrocious, and the acting from Gervais is abysmal. It seems so fake. Gervais, looks less convincing than the participants in the Tambery am-dram society. There have been some touching moments, but equally it often feels like a rush job soap box for RG to make a few snarky comments. However, it clearly works for many, so I won't push my criticism of it too much, and I do find a few very funny moments in it, but mostly they involve the other characters, such as the dinner chat with Roxie or Joe Wilkinson's postman using his bathroom. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 For me it tends to bubble along and then bang rather than being consistently funny but I do find it watchable throughout The only bits I don't like in season 2 so is the therapist, they've stretched him to breaking point for me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sat watching it thinking why the hell would his bother in law keep paying him. Just an excuse to get some extra swearing in. Im only up to episode four and enjoying it though, I’m a fan of Ricky and he’s done very well with this one. I don’t think this series has made me laugh as much as the last one, but there’s still funny parts to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
