What do you think? Are you excited about the return of After Life on Netflix? Did you want more than three seasons of the series on Netflix?
One of the greatest and best put together shows I have watched in the past decade of good TV! I totally “get” the Gervais style and Who Gives A Crap sense of humor which keeps me on the edge of my seat as every piece of whitty dialogue is perfectly delivered. In fact, so much did I connect with this series that I even prepared myself with how much I would truly miss this colorful cast of provocative characters. So After Life, I ask myself– “Now What!?”
Love this show! Looking forward to the new season but sad it’s almost over.
