Review: After Life season two, Netflix

There is certainly a lot going on in series two. This series overview barely scratches the surface and there are some crucial details we haven't revealed. Does it surpass the first series? I'm not sure. That made such an impact it was always going to be hard to beat. But there is no doubt that this sequel will grab you from the very start and keep you grabbed until the very end.

After Life, Netflix, review

Gervais' character is the embodiment of socially awkward misanthropy, but also a believable portrait of a man consumed by grief.
