After Life Series 3 review

Ricky Gervais's foul-mouthed comedy about grief and community returns for a final six-episode run. Despite its good qualities, however, it fails to pluck at heartstrings quite like it intends.

Louis Chilton, The Independent, 14th January 2022

After Life Series 3 review

Only Ricky Gervais could get away with a show this toothless.

After Life review

After Life's saving grace is the cast of lovable freaks around Ricky Gervais.

Mandy review

These 15-minute episodes are like extended sketches, a comedy form that is almost never seen now. Morgan, who writes and directs the show as well as being its central character, has done a splendid job of repairing and restoring the format.

Mandy review

Thesps given timely mocking by Dragons' star.

TV review: Mandy, BBC Two

Diane Morgan is set to have another big year with a new series of Philomena Cunk in the pipeline, but it's Mandy that feels like her real passion project - she stars, writes and directs here. And now starting its second series following a very slightly extended Christmas one-off it is really starting to find its feet.

Mandy, BBC2, review

Diane Morgan's comedy is knife-sharp, gleefully silly and a bit tired.

Mandy review

Slap my bum and call me a satanist! Diane Morgan is back.

Review: Death To 2021, Netflix

Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe end-of-year reports for the BBC were essential viewing. Last year though he did a caustic commentary for Netflix, Death To 2020, without appearing onscreen himself, which didn't quite have the same sardonic sucker punches. Not for English viewers anyway. It seemed to be aimed at an American audience. And now with Death To 2021, there is a further shift.
