After Life will have you laughing and crying
After Life can be tough to watch at times given the sensitive subject matter at hand. At no point is it disrespectful to anyone who may be going through something similar and is a stark look at what other people might be going through in their own lives.

Fiona Sturges, The Guardian, 9th March 2019After Life: Gervais is back with a new comedy recipe

Robert Lloyd, LA Times, 8th March 2019Gervais & Coogan changed comedy & took different paths
Some 15 years after the birth of Alan Partridge and David Brent, both men are back with new shows. But while Coogan has focused on collaboration, Gervais appears to be working more and more in a vacuum - and it shows.
Tom Nicholson, Esquire, 8th March 2019After Life review
Do you like laughing at overweight people? And sexism, if it's supposedly ironic, do you find that funny too? And being horrible to people in general, does that make you laugh hard? If you can answer yes to all of these questions then you'll love Ricky Gervais's latest sitcom.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 8th March 2019Ricky Gervais's new series isn't what you expect
Ricky Gervais's new Netflix series After Life really isn't the show you're expecting. This tragicomedy is affecting, not outrageous.
