Have been binge watching #AfterLife and it’s so brilliant, raw and incredibly honest. It’s made me laugh and cry and sometimes both simultaneously. This is the show that I didint know I needed but grateful it was made. @rickygervais thank you.

@rickygervais Have so far watched the first 4 episodes of #AfterLife and I’m a wreck. Crying and laughing over and over again. It’s destroying me. When tragedy and comedy combine perfectly it’s a powerful thing.
