Season 1 Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Dominic Patten
The best thing Gervais has done... Prepare to bing watch "After Life"... because it's simply awesome.
The New Yorker
Troy Patterson
A main problem for After Life is that Tony's surge of misanthropy isn't especially funny or smart.
New York Post
Michael Starr
You'll enjoy After Life if you're feeling cynical and/or depressed.
The Hollywood Reporter
Daniel Fienberg
I'm not sure Tony says anything controversial on any of these topics, it's just Gervais with a dead wife so that you might sympathize with him.
Slant Magazine
Michael Haigis
The series is ultimately just an excuse for Ricky Gervais to spit his acerbic wit at easy targets.
NBC News THINK
Ani Bundel
Once in a while, all the pieces come together...The bad news is the show is short (six episodes), so the parts that don't work carry a lot of weight.
New York Times
James Poniewozik
In After Life, Saint Ricky essentially debates Bad Ricky. Here's hoping their next collaboration turns out better.
Boston Globe
Matthew Gilbert
One of the problems with "After Life" is that we can see the full arc of that Scrooge story line long before it arrives. The predictability doesn't ruin the series, which can be quickly consumed in three hours.
RogerEbert.com
Allison Shoemaker
Gervais the actor is failed by the writer and not shown to best advantage by the director. The performance isn't enough, and its strengths underline the inadequacies found elsewhere.
rogercatlin.com
Roger Catlin
Alternately acerbically funny and heartbreaking, it provides a good outlet for [Ricky Gervais'] scathing and dark wit.
TV Insider
Matt Roush
Life has a way of going on, and After Life leads Tony to face the fact that he's not the only character in his story.
indieWire
Ben Travers
After Life does come across as Gervais' most autobiographical work to date, but the writer, director, and star actually tells a sweet, earnest story about learning when and why to shut the hell up.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
After all your suffering, "After Life" ends up exactly where you'd expect it to. There are no heavenly rewards here.
Forbes
Merrill Barr
The Ricky Gervais project people have been begging for, for a long time. The kind that hits his comedy stylings on the head so perfectly, it makes one realize that just maybe he always had something to say but needed time to figure out just how to do it.
AV Club
Josh Modell
It wants so badly to be both comedy and drama-to be both funny and touching-that it fails pretty spectacularly at both.
IGN Movies
Matt Fowler
Ricky Gervais' new Netflix series about grief and loss is both endearing and abrasive. Textbook Gervais, if you will.
The Daily Dot
Brenden Gallagher
As is often the case in Gervais' work, kindness ultimately prevails in this story of an embittered man in a world that has taken so much from him.
Decider
Joel Keller
If you take it for what it is, without thinking to hard about Gervais' baggage, it's an interesting idea for a dark comedy.
TV Guide
Tim Surette
Watching a man go from awful human being to just decent human being isn't fun television. Fortunately it's only six half-hour episodes.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Its pleasures outweigh its problems.
