    It got a bit predicatable and preachy but on the whole I enjoyed it.

    I'm 4 episodes in and loving it so far, I don't like Gervais much but his characters, certainly in the office, extras and this are very good.

    Had to load the dishwasher pronto after watching episode 2 last night. The bit where he does the heroin and slumps onto his wife's lap totally content really got to me.

    Bloody fantastic series

    I cannot stand Ricky Gervais normally - i don't find him funny.

    Started watching this last night - four episodes in and it's excellent watching.

    As already echoed goes from funny to brutally sad in a moment.

    I'm not working late tonight - i'm going home to spend time with my wife - this series has already spoken to me that work will always be there but my family might not

    Absolutely brilliant - shame it was only six episodes.

    I managed two and a half episodes. You’re all getting something out of this that I’m not. It irritated me if anything. 
    Each to their own,etc,etc. 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    Okay... I watched it.

    And... I didn't wish Ricky Gervais would spontaneously combust during the whole series. 

    It was fun and charming... However... Slightly depressing that I feel the way he describes and I've not even had a major loss or similar depression inducing event... Does that mean I have a super power too?

    Is it one series only? 
    I'm watching it now. 
    Not usually a fan of his but it's great.
    It's funny.

    It is also quite bloody similar to my situation! Sheena left videos like that and I've been known to snap lately lol. 
    I think watching it was the first time I experienced a full range of emotions since losing my brother. It really was a very accurate commentary on grief. I found myself relating to his character probably more than I’d have liked! Hope you are doing well Thomas.

    And it took me ages to work out that the brother in law was ‘Waterboy/Waterman’ from Plebs!

    I've watched it. Dark dark comedy. 

    Great cast. Not sure it needed Gervais in it TBH.

    He used a lot of actirs that hes had before his chubby mate was in extras as was the nurse and his bro in law was in extras as a homelss guy, the horder guy was in Derek as was his wife and the hooker and the postman were in Extras. Seems to have a little team of preferred actors.

    With you there, that was a very simple shot that lasted about 3 seconds but has really stayed with me. Very powerful.

    Looks like a second series is already in the works for next year, due to the success of it. Some out-takes:

    Watched this the other weekend despite not liking Ricky Gervais.  Easily one of the best things I've watched in a while.  I'm not going to go back and watch any of his older shows but I'm definitely more likely to watch anything he does in the future.

    Not sure this needs a second series though.  I liked where it ended.
