      Season 2 – After Life

      2020 Comedy TRAILER for After Life: Season 2 Trailer List After Life: Season 2 Trailer After Life: Season 2 Trailer 1:37 View more videos
      78% Tomatometer 32 Reviews 87% Audience Score 500+ Ratings Tony had a perfect life -- until his wife Lisa died. After that tragic event, the formerly nice guy changed. After contemplating taking his life, Tony decides he would rather live long enough to punish the world by saying and doing whatever he likes. He thinks of it as a superpower -- not caring about himself or anybody else -- but it ends up being trickier than he envisioned when his friends and family try to save the nice guy that they used to know. Golden Globe winner Ricky Gervais stars in the comedy series, which he also writes and directs. Read More Read Less Watch on Netflix Stream Now

      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Though After Life's second season struggles to affirm its existence, it's a solid entry for anyone aching for a little more contemplative gallows humor.

      Ian Freer Empire Magazine If lacking the first series' narrative arc After Life Season 2 still works, its mixture of generosity, big, emotional beats and salty laughs chiming with these uncertain times. Rated: 3/5 May 8, 2020 Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail Once again, Gervais derives comedy from rants, insults and grotesquery. But at the same time he's probing human decency and the series treads lightly on serious matters. Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Alastair McKay London Evening Standard There is a moral, though it scarcely bears repeating. We're all screwed up. It's what makes us normal. A shame, then, that the jokes get their nutrients from cruelty. Rated: 3/5 Apr 27, 2020 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv After Life shows that defining moments are often found during times of grief or a crisis... That, as even a dog knows, unconditional love is all you ever really need. Oct 13, 2022 Full Review Beth Webb NME (New Musical Express) Ricky Gervais' dark comedy is his most moving work to date. Rated: 4/5 Jul 13, 2021 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site In any event, the series is enjoyable on the whole, as long as one takes it with a grain of salt. ... The sharp-eyed moments compete with the sentimental or self-involved. Feb 10, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

      Anton A Another great season, continuing to show great character growth with an overall worthwhile season plot. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Ricca S Truly underrated. Cried and laughed a lot at the same time. One of the best shows in NF ever. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/23 Full Review Eugenio T funny, bitter, intelligent, a unique and fascinating work of art Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/27/23 Full Review Gareth v Not as strong as the first season but still a show well worth watching. The dark humour and emotional punch is still there, just not as frequently as season one Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Ariel B I thought that season 1 was enough for a great show but season 2 only made it better. Characters are more developed, situations keep on getting deeper and better. This is the show I never knew I needed until I watched it. Will binge season 3 in no time as well Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review gabriel s Great second season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
