Roisin Conaty

As a second season of Roisin Conaty's gawky, impeccably written comedy begins, lonely Marcella bags a date with her dreamy driving instructor; endures more life-coaching sessions with bonkers therapist Karl; and winds up getting called "Prankie Boyle". Cheeky, tender, filthy fun.

Review: 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.
