Gervais mostly finds a balance between humor and deep darkness, though he sometimes falters (far too much time is spent on an obnoxious therapist). And, like many comic actors, he seamlessly transitions to drama; even better, he poignantly walks the tightrope between despair and laughter.

Achieves new depths of feelings - and hilarity - in its second season. [27 Apr - 10 May 2020, p. 11]

There’s more to appreciate here than before, if only because there’s no better time to recognize how difficult it can be to simply exist and be decent when the world feels inhospitable or cruel. And if nothing else, Gervais the actor has built on the work of that first season in a way that feels honest, fragile, and even surprising.

Ricky Gervais' After Life was a bittersweet little gem, but the first season basically told a reasonably complete story. As a consequence, the second six-episode run feels as if it's essentially retracing old territory -- moving in places, but with less urgency, and more prone to silly detours to flesh out the run.

Very great show that teaches you a great lesson about life, grief and how to cope with it. Ricky Gervais tells a wonderful story.

Absolutely brilliant, Gervais does it again and somehow he has topped Season 1.
Funny, moving, emotional, brilliant.

Touching morose awkward cheerful sad uplifting downbeat ..perfect. I think it's Ricky's best work since the last series of After Life. It's a must watch.

Season 2 of After Life does have some touching moments, much like season 1, but it doesn't unfortunately add much to the story of our beloved foul mouthed Tony. It still is a realistic view of how to cope with the depression of losing someone but I don't think an extra season was needed.

Dire, pointless rehash of the first series. Not funny at all and adds nothing new to looking at grief. First series was good, this is painful.
