Scarred for life

I reckon this is not the best - definitely not the funniest - things Ricky Gervais has penned, but After Life has certain charm at least. Widower Tony mourns the death of his wife and considers offing himself as well. Full of brilliant laconic humour that can easily fly by if you aren't used to the style Ricky Gervais is known for. He seamlessly debates on issues of kindness, happiness, misery and vulgar laughs on a same sentence. Makes people laugh and cry at the same time. Makes After Life a memorable series and having said that, in the end, it's one of his best productions.
