Ed Power, The Irish Times, 14th January 2022After Life, review: the emotional depth of a Post-It note
Ricky Gervais's Netflix project has gone from perfectly watchable to a soggy pudding of a series that wallows in its own thin-skinned misanthropy.
Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 14th January 2022After Life review
Ricky Gervais's After Life is a conundrum. Viewers love it and critics can't figure out why at all. What makes it odd is that this isn't a Mrs Brown's Boys situation, where the consensus critical position is: "Nope, sorry, you people are stupid and wrong, this is actually terrible." It's more complex than that. It's more of a sort of: "What, this? From him? But why?"
