I’m glad, in the end, this show didn’t go for the “new girlfriend saves him” angle. He helped his situation by helping others. Simply a beautiful show. I know he tries to hide it, but , Ricky Gervais is a sensitive and lovely guy.
Agreed, although I liked Emma, that would have been the typical Hollywood ending. And Ricky detests Hollywood, so I was pretty certain we were gonna get another ending. And I wasn't disappointed.
Agree with other comments -- this is the finest and realest TV series I ever watched. It's like reliving our grieving. And it hits different because many of us lost someone in the past years... Amazing. Brilliant work by Ricky Gervais, also the casts and the production crews.
I have watched it 3 times...I lost my husband, a police officer and After Life is me. I am always sad and yes he was my best achievement! I cry from begining to end. Thank you Ricky for doing this show..excellent
My absolute heartfelt condolences 🌹I would love to say something to make you feel better but sometimes it's just nicer to know that someone cares. I care, even though we've never met, and I'm sending you love and strength through your hard times.
As the wife and the mother of police officers, I send you my deepest sympathies and you look so young. I hope that the police family can help you. Very best wishes 🌹❤️
Me too, lost my soulmate almost 5 years ago, he was 47. This was so raw for me and I cried all the way through yet it also made me laugh too. I feel like I lost a part of myself and just don't feel the same any more, I laugh on the outside but cry on the inside because after 4 and half years people kind of expect you to be back to normal when I feel like nothing ever can be.
I have lost my husband 7 months ago and this After Life has helped me so much; beyond my expectation, I sobbed a lot but laugh harder either. It has helped me to understand what I am going through and how life keeps unfolding anyway!
Only last night did I view the last episode of Afterlife, watched whole series over a week. Didn’t want it to end and will probably watch it all again. There has never been a series that has moved me so much, a rollercoaster of emotions, and the Joni Mitchell song towards the end .. well it just gets you, in fact every song throughout the series was perfectly placed and perfectly chosen. Ricky , thank you.
As a widower of two years, this was epic. After my wife died I crawled into a bottle and lived there for the Best part of a year. Im now slowly getting my life back together. But I really needed this show.
Really love watching After life. I lost my 35 Yr old son in July 2021 and find the grieving process can be so confusing. Great to be able to relate. I agree that we have humour as a natural inbuilt source which helps to cope with the painful emotions when they come. You have so much awareness of our humanness and love how there is an acceptance of of the different characters authenticity and how we all need each other. We are all so different yet so alike.
I've watched the first two seasons with My parents. I've lost my dad due to covid right before season 3 came out. I've just watched it this week and I believe it helped me in some many ways to look the death in a different way and perspective. I guess it helped me to heal some parts that were still bruised in me. I am not completely ok but I felt it healing. Loved this third season 👌
Thank you Ricky Gervais for your show, After Life. You helped my dad and me after my mom died suddenly in May of 2020. We are sad it’s over but have found you again in Derek. We love that, too! Kindness is everything. 💝
I only found Rickys series a few weeks ago. He is now my hero. The greatest actor and writer of all time. I am 80 and after my husband died 2 years ago I can now watch After LIFE etc and laugh and and feel sad. How can one man be so clever. He’s both wonderful and adorable.Where can I write for a signed photo please.?
after life was the Very Best series on netflix. ty ricky for giving us this gem. we so need this today. i cant tell you how much it meant to me. thankyou mr. gervais
I watched both series together when they came out on Netflix a while back, and then again just before Christmas..I knew how special and beautiful it was and going through a very emotional Christmas after loosing someone I loved VERY much but in a different way it still helped me, and then season 3 was an absolute perfect way to end it. Thank you RG soooo much for making many of us sad, happy and laugh all in one go, what you do is a gift which you then kindly share with us so again thank you🙏🏼
I watch a lot of Netflix and this was by far the best series I've watched on there...like other people here I can relate, lost my father to Pancreatic cancer Really didn't want it to end so soon :(
Just loved this series! So real! Hated to see it end! Love Ricky, loved the dog! Felt sad when it ended! All the characters were awesome! Please write more real subjects! Love You Ricky you are a real person!
I’ve never laughed out load sitting alone in front of the telly as I did when I watched Ricki in stand up doing ‘ ANIMALS’ other than ‘AFTER LIFE’ he is a lovely, talented man and I wish he would do more . I really love this man.
This was amazing my wife laughed and cried at this she said l now know how my mum felt when dad died and sadly she left us in 2020 but she always took her mum out for a meal we had her at our house for a week and always had her at xmas
@@BloodSweatAndMeth I saw your other comments, and it seems you want to say "that just a meh show". Ok, we get it, if it's not your cup of coffee, just walk away from comment section.. it's as easy as that.
I’ve been watching this show with my autistic teenager and he can relate to the feelings portrayed in there. That’s a wonderful thing to experience for me. I’ve been laughing and crying throughout the whole thing. So humble. And beautiful.
Takes you through the rollercoaster of grief and letting go. Laughing and crying and participating in the story like it's your own..left me very emotional...A genius piece of work.
I randomly watched this over the past week. I've casually watched some of his work over the years from the office to extras, but wow. I had no idea he was capable of this. This short series is amazing.
Ricky is an absalute genius for producing this and i hope there is a series 4 and more as so much more could be written and added to this fantastic work.
I've never laughed at comedy programmes but smiled but this I have laughed out loud and the same time had tears in my eyes with such emotion don't think this will ever be beaten its written so well and its so beautifully real great work
Watched all 3 series in a few days, 6 months after I lost my wife of 55 years. I thought it was just amazing that someone who had not been through that experience in real life, could write something that so accurately captures how it feels. Brilliant and Amazing.
I absolutely loved this series!! 100% true to life!! 👍👍💕 The story, cast, all of it was just AMAZING! I lost my brother to suicide and just as I was coming to terms with that, I lost my grandmother and my mom (6 months apart), 3 of my senior cats and our dog,Rocky.
As a massive fan of the first two seasons - watched each episode four times and laughed and cried my way through the lot - I was obviously looking forward to the third season immensely. I'd watched the first four and loved them all but thought it was the weakest of the three series. And then No 5 hit it out of the park and I blubbed like a baby throughout the sixth episode. I think that is the best of the whole 18 episodes. Still really missed Sandy and Roxy.
Just a beautiful, hilarious, inspirational, and perfect show. I lost my beloved mom in Oct. and After Life was a true blessing. Well done, Mr. Gervais:) Brilliant!
I disagree with some critics who said that Ricky compromised the integrity of the show to capitalize on views in seasons 2 and 3, especially after this interview. He's brilliant.
This show has been helpful to me. My wife died from breast cancer at 43. It’s just me, our three kids and our German Shepherd. Been through the series twice as I’m still trying to work through such a horrible thing. It has been so helpful and I thank you for it.
I want to watch his show but don't have netflix. I am trying to order it from our local library, still waiting to see if they have it or can get it for me. I would really love to watch this show.
I’m glad, in the end, this show didn’t go for the “new girlfriend saves him” angle. He helped his situation by helping others. Simply a beautiful show. I know he tries to hide it, but , Ricky Gervais is a sensitive and lovely guy.
Exactly what I was thinking
It wouldn't have been such heartwarming if he ended happily in that manner
Agreed, although I liked Emma, that would have been the typical Hollywood ending. And Ricky detests Hollywood, so I was pretty certain we were gonna get another ending. And I wasn't disappointed.
Never have I ever saw a show like "After Life"
Ricky Gervais is mastermind.
Agree with other comments -- this is the finest and realest TV series I ever watched. It's like reliving our grieving. And it hits different because many of us lost someone in the past years... Amazing. Brilliant work by Ricky Gervais, also the casts and the production crews.
Ricky Gervais is a genuine human being. His body of work truly reflects that.
I have watched it 3 times...I lost my husband, a police officer and After Life is me. I am always sad and yes he was my best achievement! I cry from begining to end.
Thank you Ricky for doing this show..excellent
My absolute heartfelt condolences 🌹I would love to say something to make you feel better but sometimes it's just nicer to know that someone cares. I care, even though we've never met, and I'm sending you love and strength through your hard times.

I feel so emotional after watching this, that Jonie Mitchel track and him walking off at the end broke my heart, unreal talent
I have lost my husband 7 months ago and this After Life has helped me so much; beyond my expectation, I sobbed a lot but laugh harder either. It has helped me to understand what I am going through and how life keeps unfolding anyway!
I binge-watched the whole series 2 days ago, I´m still crying! That man is brilliant!
Only last night did I view the last episode of Afterlife, watched whole series over a week. Didn’t want it to end and will probably watch it all again. There has never been a series that has moved me so much, a rollercoaster of emotions, and the Joni Mitchell song towards the end .. well it just gets you, in fact every song throughout the series was perfectly placed and perfectly chosen. Ricky , thank you.
The music in each episode was fantastic. I started it again the day after I finished the series.
Not gonna lie - I cried through the whole finale. What a great series.
As a widower of two years, this was epic. After my wife died I crawled into a bottle and lived there for the Best part of a year. Im now slowly getting my life back together. But I really needed this show.

Sorry for your loss
I just finished watching the series. It's so beautiful. One of the best series I've ever seen.
Just watched the last episode and I don’t get emotional at things but After Life just hits different, Ricky Gervais you are a mastermind 🙏🏻
never cried with sorrow then cried with laughter a minute later over a program... emotional rollercoaster... deserves awards big time.!!
@@BloodSweatAndMeth read the post again... self explanatory for a normal person🤦🏻♂️FFS🙄
Cried and cried. Couldn't help it. Even cried when I laughed. Brilliant!

Extraordinary how a TV series can entertain, help you grieve and reflect on your life ahead all at the same time. Ricky Gervais is a genius.
I found 'The Afterlife' to be extremely sad and the most extraordinary declaration of love from Ricky to Jane possible. Maybe I am just weird.
What an absolute diamond geezer. Love him to bits forever.
The best TV show I've seen in a long time. You laugh,cry and it it home for so many people .
Ending had me in tears almost.
Almost? I sobbed.
I never watch anything twice except After Life! No body close died, just love it all 😘 From Dunedin, New Zealand.
Funniest man on the planet. Please give us another show/series when you can. The show was so caring.❤️
Absolutely the finest program I’ve ever seen.

After Life makes you *feel* to your bones. Brilliant and real. Thank you, Mr. Gervais.
Watched them all over 2 days... amazing as always
Fantastic show. very moving. Tears in the finale and when that Joni Mitchell song comes on…sobbing.

Ricky should win an award for his acting - it is the best I have ever seen in my whole entire life.

@@BloodSweatAndMeth no, I'm actually cool with other opinion, just don't rub it on everyone's face.
@@BloodSweatAndMeth yeah yeah keep being rude and proud of it
Many thanks to Ricky Gervais for this series...I loved it so much
Probably the best Netflix series I’ve seen

The ending Afterlife 3 … just WOW … really hit my heart ❤️
Well done Mr gervais, it was truly the most amazing series 👏👏👏
Takes you through the rollercoaster of grief and letting go. Laughing and crying and participating in the story like it's your own..left me very emotional...A genius piece of work.

Have just finished Series 3. Mr. Gervais is a GENIUS!! I laughed and cried!! Watch it!!
Loved this show, love Ricky Gervais and his candid views, and his love of dogs! Bravo!

Magistral obra de Ricky...Todos los actores brillantes. Realmente tocó mi corazón...Gracias..también amo Derek
I just finished watching and started it again the next day. It was absolutely brilliant. Loved all of the characters. ❤
Watched all 3 series in a few days, 6 months after I lost my wife of 55 years. I thought it was just amazing that someone who had not been through that experience in real life, could write something that so accurately captures how it feels. Brilliant and Amazing.
I think After Life was perfect,l really enjoyed it, what a beautiful love story (THE BEST)... To thanks Ricki...♥️
Thank u so much for this program I was, so upset last episode nicely done that, life goes on without us
I just finished watching the finale. Truly one of the most brilliant shows I have ever seen. I have never seen anything like it. 😭❤
Probably the best TV show I've ever watched. Me and the wife are gutted it's over. Crying one minute then laughing my head off the next.
This show is simply brilliant. Thank you!
I absolutely loved this series!! 100% true to life!! 👍👍💕 The story, cast, all of it was just AMAZING! I lost my brother to suicide and just as I was coming to terms with that, I lost my grandmother and my mom (6 months apart), 3 of my senior cats and our dog,Rocky.

Fabulous series, the end scene so poignant. Congratulations Ricky x
Love this show I so relate to all of it
He's an absolute genius, in the best sense . Not many people like him.
I absolutely love this show. It is so “real”.
Just a beautiful, hilarious, inspirational, and perfect show. I lost my beloved mom in Oct. and After Life was a true blessing. Well done, Mr. Gervais:) Brilliant!
I disagree with some critics who said that Ricky compromised the integrity of the show to capitalize on views in seasons 2 and 3, especially after this interview. He's brilliant.

Hang in. It's hard, for sure. You can do it. If you need help, don't be afraid to try and get it.
Beautiful and so funny also so sad After Life had so many different emotions I loved the show .
I have never missed an episode. I love this guy.
I cried at the new season
I cried my eyes out on the last episode 😭
I did aswell my bf was, like why you crying I said bec it had meaning
I firmly believe because of the authenticity and sheer relatability of Afterlife, it will age like a fine wine 🍷 ( much like Ricky 😉)
It’s a beautiful pieces of work
Such a great show
Love you Ricky, a genius!
He is so brilliant!
Loved the series.
Ricky is genuine, loving, caring, foul mouthed, sarcastic, intelligent, incredibly funny & talented and I Love Him !!! 😘😘🥰🥰😂😂
Ahhhh so funny little sausage for the dog. I lost my 2 German shepherd during covid. So important to speak about grief. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I loved the series all 3 amazing
Yes. I love the foreign films. Swedish series are A1. Post Mortem was hilarious.
Love you Ricky 😍 💗
‘Careless whispers’ 😂😂😂
This video should have the most views what a legend
like them 3 got the Casablanca reference 🤣
Gracias
Brilliant❣
"i can write them but I cant here them"...I have it the same way.
I want to watch his show but don't have netflix. I am trying to order it from our local library, still waiting to see if they have it or can get it for me. I would really love to watch this show.
Very clever guy
Do you think he might relent and do a fourth series …… I hope so with all my heart
Seeing Kevin Hart's face inside a snow globe had me laughing and crying at the same time.
Loved
