Ricky Gervais reckons that some people will love his new show and some will hate it.
If you haven’t heard already, Ricky Gervais’ latest comedy series After Life just landed on Netflix. It sees Gervais being the meanest and grumpiest we have ever seen him and even shows him smoking heroin in an attempt to shock viewers. The comedy actor is subsequently aware that the show won’t be up everyone’s street.
“It’s the furthest I’ve gone, the most dramatic, the darkest, the most uncompromising,” Gervais told NME. “It’s the comedy cast of the century even if you don’t like every single person in it. It’s amazing.”
He added: “Some people will love it, some people will hate it, most people won’t know it exists, so I’m all for that.”
Entertainment For Us said in their 3.5 star review: “Overall, After Life is depressing even by Ricky Gervais standards. At the same time, there are some positive messages to take away from the series and its awesome soundtrack, fantastic cast and genuinely sweet and funny moments make it worth a watch.”
After Life is available to watch on Netflix now.
