I love Ricky's work with Stephen Merchant and Karl Pilkington but I think After Life is truly diabolical. First series was poor but it's Ricky so I gave him a second chance with series 2. It was 3 hours of my life I'll never get back. Absolutely appalling. 😂🙈 Still, for those who love it, I'm happy for you that it won the poll. 😛😎

I'm happy for them, not so much for the rest of us. Thinking about the Ricky and Steve from XFM days - After Life is the kind of show they would've ripped to pieces. And here's Ricky writing this stuff twenty years later. Apologies to the people who voted for this, but there's some small joy to be gained from griping about this fucking appalling show with other people. Cheers me up a bit.

So wait ,will you guys be watching or not?🙄

I know everyone here would love if you listened to all the xfm Ricky Gervais shows. There's so many of them im sure between us we could find you a link

I could be wrong but I'm sure he's listened and watched a lot of that stuff on his YouTube channel.

I don't think you 2 guys are the target audience... My wife and all her mates absolutely loved it and it's easily his most successful show, financially anyway... Comedy is subjective but this has a massive audience who absolutely love it.

Josh has listened to the Steve vs Karl compilation, a few of the various Meet Karl videos, An Idiot Abroad, and The Ricky Gervais Show but hadn't reacted to any XFM shows. Mandy Cane Lane is doing so most Fridays on YouTube and it's been absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend Josh gets around to reacting to XFM in full. Like Mandy, he could start with series 1 where Karl is first heard. Series 0 is only Ricky and Steve.

Not sure how you can possibly know whether we're the right audience. Purely because we don't think it's any good? Bit of a leap. I have suffered a lot of grief and bereavement in my life, a lot for my age, and some TV, film, music and art in general that explores it eats into my soul and reduces me to tears. It's perfectly valid to be of the opinion that After Life is just appallingly badly written, and moreover, if it were not a Ricky Gervais show, it would not have been nearly as successful. He's a genuine talent and has given us some great stuff so you could argue that he's earned this "free pass" but I maintain that it is just that. It's a terrible show IMHO.

I'm happy that this show is only 6 episodes so we don't have to wait too long for this tripe to be replaced.

Crazy how this show won the vote and yet everyone commenting are the sore losers just having a moan. Cheer up people, it's not the end of the world.
