AFTER LIFE

Ricky Gervais has created a chamber music-like sitcom, surprising some who know him from his more agressive tirades (directed at Hollywood).

Here in few vignettes, occupied by ordinary people, he allows us to enter both men and women's mellow, melancholic moodswings. The causes are as banal as the effects and therefore both feel right. These smallish stories  provide for an existential pleasure that doesn't need to overwhelm to move us. 

Seldom was the ordinary made so comforting.
