That series is absolutely superb. In Series 1 the music used was by a band named Hammock.
I have loved both series of After Life and during lockdown Ricky Gervais revealed that he would break the golden rule of just two series and go ahead and make a third. Wonderful news!
My favourite of his TV series has to be Derek mainly because a lot of my patients/client base and the pupils I get to teach through art therapy are just like him. Kind. Thoughtful. Deep. Caring without reservation.
I loved that series.
Did you see it?
I literally bingewatched for 6 hours on recommendation from my Mum. I'd only intended to watch a single episode and found myself wrapping up S2 at 2.30am!!! Totally enthralled. Talk about emotional rollercoaster, what an absolute masterpiece. Don't mind admitting I was sobbing like a baby more than a few times.
It was really great to read he's done a script already for S3 and that he's going ahead with it, I kinda thought it might wrap at two series like always - but honestly - its ripe for much more. Was such a nice throwback to see Penelope Wilton and Peter Egan from Ever Decreasing Circles again too.
Derek has escaped me thus far - but I hear great things about it, and my Mum loves it - which is usually good enough recommendation for me, so I'm definitely going to watch it before much longer.
