After Life

[Ken4155]

Just binge-watched all 6 episodes of series 3 of After Life. After the first 3 episodes, i began to think it wasn't as good as the first two series. However, those last 3 episodes dragged it right back into line with both series 1 and 2. Brilliant - if ever so poignant - watch.

Where are you, Ken? I'm in the UK and can't get it yet.

I've watched the first episode of S3 this evening. It was OK.
It's on Netflix ww.

[windywillow]

Ah, thanks. I think it was user error. :0)

[ladybirder]

Fancy, I get that all the time;-)

[Ken4155]

LB, i agree. In fact the first few episodes were merely ok and i feared it was maybe going to be one series too many. However, those final episodes really do lift it to the level of the previous 2. IMHO, i hasten to add :-J

I watched three episodes last night. Love it.

I’m not a big fan of RG but that is a show that I keep meaning to watch, as it does look funny and sad at the same time.

[Ken4155]

It is definitely both those, Arky. In spades.

[naomi24]

I never liked RG either, Arksided, but 'Afterlife' and one of his other series, 'Derek', are both very different. Quite superb in my opinion.

[emmie]

i don't like RG at all, and wouldn't honestly watch anything he is in.

I really liked The Office but don’t like either of the other two series. I stuck with both for a few episodes but really couldn’t see the appeal.
Good job we’re all different.

[emmie]

yes it is a good job we are all different.

[naomi24]

I can't get on with The Office at all.

[douglas9401]

Except when disagreeing.

[emmie]

i watched an episode of the Office and decided then and there i wouldn't watch him again.

[naomi24]

Emmie. Afterlife is nothing like The Office, and the character he plays in it is nothing like David Brent. I think you have to remember he is playing characters. It's not 'him'.

[emmie]

i have seen him hosting events and to me he comes over as simply sarcastic, pompous and not my brand of funny at all.

[naomi24]

He's acting a part in these programmes - in the case of Afterlife a widower who's desperately missing his wife.

[emmie]

sorry Naomi, i simply don't like him. irrespective of a part he is playing.

I binged the series last. I was in bits by the end of the last episode.

A very poignant and fitting end to a great series.

I would love it if RG brought back Derek.
