Do watch it, if you're interested in a bro-manship movie, on gangsters, on ethics and human values, on history. It will make you question a lot about the humans involved in this movie and how gray area some things can be and how despite the fact that the protagonist cared about human value, ethics etc he screwed himself up in an unethical business because of the need to feel adrenaline, or become somebody to someone else, the feel to feel important.

If I didn't have to value it among other movies I would put an 8-9, but there are many great movies and the enemy of the great is the greatest.

But this movie is definitely worth your time. I won't spoil anything, I feel you don't need to know much or else it will ruin your experience. I started watching it with the feeling of "are we romanticizing gangsters now? Really?", but it's not what this movie is about.

Watch it with remorse, empathy, value for everybody's lives inside even the ones killed. That way you'll get into the head of the protagonist and the writer(s) behind this movie, start understanding that it's not about romanticizing gangsters, but about humans as a whole, as a species. Try to see the bigger picture, and this movie will feel like an unpolished gem.

Honestly, it connected so much with me I couldn't stop crying.

While it was a comedy series, Life After really touched me emotionally in ways no series has succeeded.

It was beyond real.

The best comparison I could make with another show, it was like Bojack Horseman, but in non-animated series and touched me more tbh but Bojack is still a great diamond for everybody to see.

I salute Rickie Gervais for making this diamond real. It proves that great series are still being made from people who really care, while the hollywood industry is still milking Marvel and DC cows just out of pure greed without producing anything really valuable to the public. Just "watch this and lose 1-2 hours of your life".

But this, had multiple lessons to teach you throughout the whole series. That we're all people. That yes, everybody struggles even if they dont tell you they do. Nobody is special. We're all kind of the same but different but deeply we're all kind of the same and compassion should exist towards people and is to be bidirectional, not one way.

It makes you think of people you have never thought of before, or at least get in their perspective. Teaches you that they're are or at least used to be like you as well, and to share your compassion to them.

I'll be honest, last years have made me kind of a cynic. Despite me caring for people, I mainly got bitterness and carelessness back. I won't go hard inside my own experiences as that would make it less of a review, wouldn't it.

Point is, I have learned to care for myself first and uninstalling myself, was not ... "not" in my thoughts sometimes. But this series makes me at least give a chance to people who I might want to give a chance and a chance to myself to at least enjoy myself however I can.

Honestly, best series I've watched maybe for the entire time? Like, it's a series I will never forget. Like Bojack. It touched my heart my soul even though I don't believe in "souls" and such but you get the meaning, and the performance of all people inside was content to fabulous.
