    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.

    The first series is one of my favourite shows of the last few years but this was such a let down. I dont mind swearing but every second word is 'C**t' and it stops being funny. There isn't really a plot and it goes over and over Lisas death continually - we learned how much he loved her in series 1. This is like watching someone going through real grief and thats not funny or entertaining.The first series is one of my favourite shows of the last few years but this was such a let down.

    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]

    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.
