Brian Lowry, CNN, 8th March 2019After Life, Netflix, review
Gervais' character is the embodiment of socially awkward misanthropy, but also a believable portrait of a man consumed by grief.
Jeff Robson, i Newspaper, 8th March 2019TV Review: After Life
This lesson in basic kindness, despite all of his attempts otherwise, may be Gervais' most shocking turn yet.
Variety, 7th March 2019Review: After Life, Netflix
What is the new six-part Netflix series from Ricky Gervais? After Life is certainly funny but it is no sitcom. There is too much going on here that isn't funny to file it snugly under that genre. It's not that safety net catch-all "comedy drama" either though. It's something totally unique. And it deserves a category of its own.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th March 2019Review: After Life could've been profound. It's profane
Ricky Gervais was once hailed as an innovator of comedy. Series like The Office and Extras sealed his reputation as a man who had changed the landscape of TV comedy forever. The Office became so popular it spawned a genre and a popular American remake. Sadly, the style that was once Gervais' hallmark seems to have become something of a curse. At least based on his new Netflix series After Life.
