Gervais’s best work so far. This show is a symphony, an emotional rollercoaster. And the casting was perfect!

Gervais is a genius.....end off. Absolutely brilliant.

I lost my sweet wife, Pam, 3 years ago. We were best friends since high school, married at 21, raised 2 kids, and lived from coast to coast. Like Tony, aka Ricky Gervais, I'm still working and not close to retirement. Certainly not what I had planned at this stage in life. This show was spot on in depicting the life of a widower. I've watched the series twice now and also watched the show clips. Yes, they make me cry, but in a strange way, I find healing powers in the tears. Just as he said in the series... I can't wait until it's my time to go. However, I do believe in heaven, and even if we don't know each other there, I welcome the days of joy and no more sadness.

This show is amazing. I loved how Tony loved his wife so much even after losing her. To love someone so much that living without them cause they've passed hurts so much that you question is life worth living has to be true love. I love how the people around Tony feel sympathetic towards him and try their best to help or just simply talk to him and treat him like a human being.

What a wonderful and brilliant series. This entire episode broke my heart and then put it back together again. I hope the writers and the cast understand what it means to all of us. Thank you, Ricky Gervais!

I think Ricky Gervais wrote this himself, brilliant 👍

Ricky may be a comedian, whos humour can be biting sometimes. But he can tug those heart strings in his writing and acting, with the best of them.

Such a fabulous show. The ending was spot on. Beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time.

HAD NO IDEA about this show until I ran across these little "SNIPETS." Ricky is an INCREDIBLE ACTOR!!!! HEARTBREAKING PERFORMANCES!!!!

I watched this show prior to losing both my parents (22 March 2022 and 18 March 2023). Ricky Gervais and his wonderfully touching / hilarious show kept (and keeps) me from just following Mom and Dad to the other side.

What a Guy Ricky Gervais is,great actor..and just an everyday normal guy..Top Man 👍🏻

I want this show to come out on DVD, I can't afford Netflix and want to see it so bad. I can't afford to buy the DVD set, if it ever comes out, but I hope my local library will carry this DVD set, if it's ever released, then I can see it. I know I will go thru boxes of tissues if I ever get to see this show. These previews make me cry and I need to cry.😥

Words cannot express how much I love this show. It literally changed my life. This is hands down Ricky’s best work. I laughed, I cried but most importantly I was able to see life in a different way. This show was truly life changing for me and so many other people. Thank you so much for the gift of After Life Ricky.

Ricky has a Kind Heart.

the very last episode just brings the hardest & coldest hearts to tears.........

Junes speech to Tony is just lovely

If you haven't watched it you must. It takes you through so many emotions,up and down,laugh cry ,sad happy. Just a fantastic series.

The thing that sets this aside is how it’s written,acted and all about realities of real life that so many can relate too ,Ricky is a very special different artist.

He is so smart and funny and i love how the paper interviews the little people not the glamouress. RICKY IS A GENIOUS

I love how every character mattered in After Life, every single one of them, imperfections and all.

Best written show EVER. I rarely laugh out loud at tv shows and I NEVER cry. This show makes me do both with ease 😢😂

the world thinks of him as incredibly mean but shows like after life only prove that he is an incredibly empathetic man.

I love this show. RG makes material that means something. I love that German Shepard and this cast. This show is so under rated, I never heard of it until I stumbled onto it the other day

I love the way the videos from Lisa talk about what a good decent kind funny person Tony is (was when she was with him) and you compare that to the cynical angry person he became after she died. Tony himself sees the contrast. The way he watches those videos is like a starving man looking at a feast but not being able to reach it. It's the most brilliant piece of writing I think I've ever witnessed. 💔

Ohh, the old lady who got robbed broke my heart :(

Honestly, I cried with every episode. Even though I have different battles that make me sad, it almost became too much to watch these. A emotional masterpiece on the event horizon.

This series is so relatable, i lost my dad not long after it came it and ricky saved my life

So heartbreakingly, tearfully, beautiful. Ricky, you lived Tony, you WERE Tony. I also had 'happy' tears watching this!!!

I watched this series and I can’t believe how it portrayed real life I cried so much. We have all lost someone or a pet so we all know the pain. Thank you Ricki

The first thing that I ever watched on Netflix.....................and still my favourite! Bravo Ricky!

I laughed and I cried. Well done Ricky. So real. Excellent work. Love his work on the Golden Globes. He's hoot. As true as it is in Hollywood. Kudos to him.

For years now i´m dealing with depressions and i never watched any tv series ore movie with such an accurate portrayal of this mental disorder. You can laugh, you can crack Jokes, you can enjoy company, you can work, you can show empathie. But as soon as your door shut behind you, you can break down and cry hysterical.

This has to be one of the most funniest and heartbreaking series i've ever watched ❤️

My husband died 10 months ago and, as others have said, this show is so honest, so true. My mom died this week and Im beyond being able to look at life with any sort of warmth or hope. Right now Im finding it hard to care about anything. I’ve never been a nihilist, but my losses have led me to understand it intimately. I think the only thing tethering me here is my grief. I dislike everyone and everything; I just want to stay home alone with my grief and memories and let the world burn down.

I consider myself a pretty tough person who never shows much emotion. Afterlife with Ricky Gervais had me tearing up many times throughout series 1-3. The final episode as he is walking through the fair with Brandy is an absolute emotional masterpiece. The way he looks for the picture and salutes was a memorable piece of acting. The look on his face said it all. WOW. Kudos to Mr Gervais. He is so underrated as an actor. [Salute]. Please watch afterlife. ❤

Lost my beloved mom in 2021. Just a beautiful show.

Ricky Gervais is a genius.

What a great heart touching show I laughed cried smiled and thought this hsow makes one feel so many emotions and more like this should be out there for Us the Fans, Hats of to Ricky Gervais an amazing gift - Thank You.

I lost my three young daugthers Ricky IS so right ! Peuple should not be afraid to die but to live a life without love ❤️ that's scary... Love and humour are our best weapons to face adversity.

An amazing man. Such care and emotion. Love it.

I’ve been wandering aimlessly through grief, without a reference ands I think I’ve just found one. I lost both my parents in one fell swoop just as I was pregnant and becoming a parent for the first time. My daughter’s a year old now and I still haven’t adjusted. Some of the things he says being life to things I didn’t have words for. Grateful for this.

I know it's not the same as losing a beloved wife. However I lost my mother 10 years ago when I was 23 we used to live in the same town and I'd go visit her for dinner and hang out with her and stuff talk on the phone alot etc. She suddenly passed and it was just unreal that she was just no longer there. watching this series I empathized with all the stuff Tony went through.

Never had so much pleasure in binge watching a show, need to do it again

I am suffering from a broken heart... a broken world and I know this show will really rip me apart.

Best show I've ever watched, nothing comes close

I lost my wife in 2013 and I’m still so angry 😡 she never drunk alcohol or smoked (all the bad things I do) life can be so unfair and it’s a mixed bag of a rollercoaster of emotions and i work in the funeral industry so get to see all the ‘injustices’ of you like first hand and it does make me wonder why life can be not only cruel but so very unfair (tearful now)

@JohnSmith-wo7ns

Sometimes there are no words, life is unfair and you have seen that, you have every right to feel anger, feel it, cry, punch a wall, dont hurt yourself, but hang in there and life can bring you hope, maybe when you feel your lowest. Your wife would want you happy, and finding that will make her happy. Her soul is alive and when its time you'll join her, but not till you've lived your life. Wish you peace and hope you get to where you need to be. 🙌👍

Absolutely 100% spot on with thoughts, feelings, emotions, the writers and actors have replicated a moment in Someone’s life with such accuracy they should be proud of themselves, watching all these snippets transport me back and I laugh and cry in equal measures.

Genius! Absolute genius...

Ricky Gervais is the most brilliant man I 'know'. What a multi-talented man. I want more of this sort of series from him.

I lost my Dad in 2020. I’m sure the date can explain exactly why but it was a complicated case. I haven’t grieved, I locked everyone out, I’m the youngest child and don’t have a partner or anyone to have helped me through it like my Sisters did. I had to arrange his funeral, sort his bills and more importantly help my Mum. This show broke me; it opened up so many feelings and emotions and I got help. Right on time…because I was about to give up on life. So everyone is right, I hope Ricky does know how much this show has helped people.

For months I never have found anything on Netflix to watch. I’m so glad that l kept the subscription, as last night on Halloween, I found season 3 of AfterLife. Best thing I have seen in years! 🍁🕯🍁🧡🧡

The best situation comedy ever written.... Ricky is a genius who makes me cry with appreciation.

Brilliant brilliant show,all seasons,for anyone without a heart,this will give you one...😌

This life in other countries, speaking different languages, living different lives and making us feel that we are far from each other, reminds us how similar our feelings and sentences are with a disease. I have a 7-year-old daughter who is fighting leukemia and this program means a lot to me. People grow with their experiences, our children mature with this disease. This disease, which takes away our loved ones, will surely end one day with the work of valuable scientists.

One of the reasons I often come back to After Life clips on here is that I know I'll see others in the comments, others like me who've lost their wife, their husband, their soulmate...and it helps me to feel not quite so alone. It's been 18 years now, I've never really recovered, not properly, I'm a pale shadow of who I used to be. I'm OK for the most part, not good or bad, but OK, I can co-exist with her absence but how I miss her! She'd never have believed that I'd still miss her like I do. I dream of her constantly, so vividly, and sometimes the dreams really sting. I don't want them to stop though, that's the her that I still get to spend time with. I'm still "only" 54, there may be long way to go yet, I don't know. As to the show After Life, it's not easy to watch but there is a catharsis in it, how Ricky Gervais manages to capture the reality of this life so accurately is truly astounding! To all of you out there, all you others like me, my love and best wishes to you all.
