I want the ghost of the thieving Heroin addict to haunt him somehow but not in a bad way a sort of thanks for allowing me to turn my light out in my own way.

Maybe moving on in a new relationship after losing a wife/partner could work as a 2nd series??

2nd series has been commissioned.
Am sure Ricky can nail it without fucking it up.

Well i enjoyed it, some very funny moments as well.
Some decent stuff on Netflix, doubt the likes of the BBC would be game to make this type of comedy these days, long gone has that cutting edge or innovative program making, its all slap stick and PC from the beeb in recent years, shame.

I realise I'm in the minority here but I thought it was pretty average.

OK, I won't kill him before the second season comes out, but he bloody well better deliver, or he's done for.

I watched this with my daughter today and both agreed it was an excellent series both funny and sad. I thought that there are many people who could identify with the main characters. I particularly liked the fact that his outlook improved over the series.

Watched it all in one go today (thanks to this thread btw) - thought it was brilliant.
Some proper laugh out loud moments but also lump in throat ones as well. Very well written and acted.
Gervais can grate me but hats off to him for this.

I'm very old school when it comes to bad language but when his dad in the home said Cnut Cnut I cried with laughter :-)

It feels a bit forced in places, like the scene where he's taking heroine to numb the pain of missing his wife and Elton John's 'Rocket Man' is playing with the lyric "I miss my wife" - just in case you don't know why he's doing it. It's also a bit of a who's who of Gervais' other projects with the same actors popping up yet again (although why this bothers me I don't know).
That said, it is very watchable and the characters are all very likable. It was much better than what I expected it to be.

Re: After Life
If he tries to make a sequel, we must kill him, though I don’t think he will. He showed commendable John Cleese/Fawlty Towers restraint, stopping The Office after two short seasons, (specials forgivable), so I think he’ll be safe enough.

Apart from a couple of exceptions, I’ve never seen so much agreement on WHO. Bravo Gervais.
I watched it all in a couple of days after reading the first 20 or so posts on here. My Mrs was doubtful, as RG annoys her, but we both enjoyed it immensely. We haven’t laughed so much at the same things for a long time.
The rice pudding bit had us howling, and the homebaked bread actually had us both screaming, tears in eyes.
