I eked out the episodes because I didn't want it to end. It was brimming with humanity and deliciously "wrong" humour. Read full review

"After Life" admirably refused to settle for greeting-card answers to the question of surviving loss. But in the final analysis, the show never wholly advanced beyond the initial appeal of its premise. Read full review

It’s a tricky theme [grief] to navigate in a single season, let alone three, and while Gervais succeeded in making it bearable, even entertaining, in After Life’s premiere, it has stalled here. Read full review

The Independent Louis Chilton

Ultimately, there are little things that endear you to After Life – among them a great soundtrack, a cast of characters who don’t all look like conventional TV stars, a standout performance from Morgan and a brilliant cameo from Tim Key. But then it’s all undone by a descent into clumsy sentimentalism. Read full review

The comedy’s depiction of grief, depression and friendship is tender and, at times, groundbreaking in its honesty, but dig a little deeper and you’ll recognise After Life has little to say beyond that oft-ignored internet adage – “be kind”. Read full review

Another trite, mawkish, soggy pudding of a series, that wallows in its own cynical slurry pit of emotion and thin-skinned misanthropy. Read full review

Beautiful and emotional last season. There should be more shows that are really good and only 25/30 min per episode.
