Beautiful, sad, and funny

An almost unbelievable mix of beauty, sadness, and laughs. The characters are well cast and have great chemistry. The premise is heartbreaking but so many beautiful moments happen, you can almost forget. A lovely show on loss, love, and keeping going.

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.

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.

Brilliantly written

My favourite line .......

"I'd rather be nowhere with her than somewhere without her"

Trivia
The 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.

Goofs
In 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.
