Brilliant
Best thing Gervais has ever produced and the bar was set very high. Couldn't stop watching.
Brilliantly written
My favourite line .......

Season 2 is even better than Season 1
My wife and I watched Season 1 and laughed and cried our way through it. I'm having to do Season 2 on my own as my wife's three year struggle with cancer recently ended. I find his detailed understanding of the grief amazingly accurate. Tony's pain seeps through the screen. Ricky is a genius and an authentic human being.
Very Good. Deep soulful ..fresh. Genius.
From office to Extras to stand up to Xfm/Ricky gervais show. This is unlike anything I've seen from Ricky , a complete story told so true and heart breaking to watch at times. Very funny but u kinda laugh through the pain for most of it. Encapsulating watch. Well done again that man, class.
Ricky Gervais I salute you.
I have to be honest, this is one of the best series I have watched in some time, it really is Gervais at his very best.
This five part series is moving, funny, poignant, and intensely thought provoking, it forces you to think of death, loss, dementia, and of course the force of life.
The characters are absolutely glorious, each and every one, and despite some of my absolute favourite talents being here, such as Penelope Wilton, David Bradley and Ashley Jensen, it's the performance of Roisin Conaty that I enjoyed most of all, I adored Daphne.
I know many of us wish the series was longer, but in this instance I'd say the standard is so high, leave it be.
This was magical. 10/10

- TriviaThe character of James the Recorder Kid is based upon James Corden, who has been the butt of many of Gervais's jokes on prior occasions.
- GoofsIn multiple episodes, the interior of Tony's house doesn't match the exterior. The house is bigger on the inside. Also, often curtains are open on the inside, but closed on the outside.
