    After-Life’s second season treads similar ground to it’s first, and as a result it does sometimes feel as though this show is repeating itself on occasions. Despite this, and the awful therapist character who scenes I decided to skip entirely in the end, there are some good laughs and genuinely emotional moments.

    Honestly, Season 2 felt very much like a retread of many things we have already seen out of season 1. There are some good laughs to be held but it's just not as interesting the second time around and largely because the characters really go nowhere. It's hard to care about these characters when they are given so little depth throughout the season.

    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.

    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.
