▽Ricky Gervais ●04/14 21:58 BLOG - 13 APRIL 2019 Long time, no blog. So, After Life is a smash hit around the globe. And why wouldn’t it be? I never doubted a comedy about a suicidal man whose wife dies of cancer could be anything other than hilarious. On a serious note, I have been blown away by the reception. Not just the sheer numbers of people that have watched it, but also the intensity of the reaction. On Twitter, on Facebook, and on the street. I never realised so many people were grieving. It’s been beautiful to hear your stories. I’ve started writing series 2 and for the first time ever it feels quite daunting.
