"(Huge trigger warning for suicide/suicidal talk.) No matter how good something is, it's hard for me to call anything "one of the best" when it's so short compared to the usual season formulas. After life isn't one of the greatest anything, but not many things are. It is great, though. There are three season, six episodes each, and every episode is super important. There's a lesson to be taken from each one, and some build upon a lesson from before. Some might even feel like they repeat a lesson, but I found it true to life. You don't absorb all wisdom the first time around, do you? Ther s great stuff to laugh at, some real disgusting and maybe disturbing stuff that acts as the foundation for some laughs. It's very foul, as I've found more common in U.K. shows than U S., but despite my dislike for Ricky Gervais as a persn, his writing is surprisingly mature and grow-up. Not just grown up, but grown-past and his character isn't too stubborn as to disrespect those who are sincere and deserving of more than just the base respect as humns. One thing about the description on here, though, his wife doesn't suddenly die. She does from cancer and isn't in the show's present. She's only seen in home video. I highly recommend this short and beautiful story. "
"This series was fantastic - never watched a show that had me hysterically laughing then crying so much in every episode. Cringing as well.."

"I just adored every moment of this series! Ricky Gervais’ tender side on display as grieving widower that I suspect reflects his feelings for his irl longtime love, Jane. Starts each day by watching videos of his late wife that somehow bring her to life for us. His dog kept him from killing himself after her death. Just when he’s given up on people realizes he has so much of his late wife Lisa still with him. Not a false note. Bawdy language that made me spit my drink out lol! Music is great! "
