Jo-Anne Rowney, The Mirror, 8th March 2019After Life review
Ricky Gervais mixes comedy and grief in bittersweet After Life.

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 2019After Life: Gervais is back with a new comedy recipe
It is an odd form of comedy, the Ricky Gervais thing. Possibly, like Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Fleabag, it isn't comedy at all, but something more akin to dramatic anxiety.
Alastair McKay, Evening Standard, 8th March 2019Review: Gervais gets spiny & squishy in After Life
Like its snarky hero, After Life is essentially good-hearted.
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.
