I couldn't warm to Afterlife myself, and I'd both be a Gervais fan, and appreciative of very dark humour.

Can't even explain why. Maybe the lack of backbone in the supporting cast.

Ricky Gervais 'Afterlife'. Like him or loathe him please give it a try. One the funniest / most depressing things Ive watched in a while.

Is it meant to be a comedy? I watched the first 2 episodes and didn't laugh once. I loved the office so I do get gervais' humour but unless it starts to get funny in the next few episodes I'm just not getting it.
It's not funny per se, it's humorous.
It's the type of humour at the expense of the arsehole narcissist  who's so self absorbed that he lacks any empathy.  He wonders out loud what he'll talk about when he'll meet up on a first date "oh I know, I'll talk about myself", the way he apologises for his father in the nursing home because the father embarrasses him.
It's the totally absurd scenario played out in the last two episodes  where he hasn't got a scooby doo about what he has just done, nor does he care, it barely registers, he's beyond the pale.

Come on lads you all know the rules. It's the recommendations page, not the spoilers page hence GoT was taken out of here.

Widow on ITV is a decent watch. Kate Beckinsale is still looking the part!

You on Netflix was surprisingly pretty good. A stalker drama told mainly from his deluded 'good hearted' perspective.

Das Boot is excellent! One of best shows that I've watched in a while.

I'd struggle to watch more than one or two back to back, some of them are very disturbing

Anyone know where I could get a not so legal version of GoT?
