After Life series 2, Netflix review
Ricky Gervais's study of bereavement continues.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 25th April 2020Review: After Life season two, Netflix
There is certainly a lot going on in series two. This series overview barely scratches the surface and there are some crucial details we haven't revealed. Does it surpass the first series? I'm not sure. That made such an impact it was always going to be hard to beat. But there is no doubt that this sequel will grab you from the very start and keep you grabbed until the very end.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 24th April 2020After Life Series 2 review
Given he's known for brutally direct stand-up, it's little surprise that Ricky Gervais doesn't do subtext.

British Comedy Guide, 6th February 2020TV review: Cunk and Other Humans on 2019
I really hope this is a one off and next year Charlie Brooker pulls his finger out and returns to the Wipe format. Or does nothing at all, as that would be better than this gigantic mess.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 21st December 2019Diane Morgan is back as the intrepid thinker and sarcastic interviewer Philomena Cunk in this end-of-year review, which is spread across the week in five-minute segments. With Brexit, the general election and Trump all on the agenda, it will be a squeeze to fit in all the year's chaos.
Ammar Kalia, The Guardian, 16th December 2019TV review: The Cockfields, episode three, Gold
This has been a real gem. It's a shame it is only a trilogy, but in those three episodes we have really got to know the Cockfield clan. Yes, they might be a bunch of Isle of Wight oddballs, but they are - mostly - a bunch of very sympathetic, engaging Isle of Wight oddballs.
