Ricky Gervais plays a grieving husband who lost his wife to cancer.  The show finds him moving from suicidal thoughts to eventual acceptance as he reconnects with the world.

Ricky Gervais created, wrote, and stars in After Life. The surrounding characters are intentionally messy and difficult to like. But Gervais shines in the way he captures grief, loneliness, and the struggle for connection. Be prepared. The emotions hit hard and heavy.

combative, and wildly different ladies.

Complicated, nuanced, grown-up discussion about what Democrats need to do - makes my head hurt to contemplate but makes sense to me.

Review | β€˜Mickey 17’ sends in the clones in a devilish Bong Joon Ho satire Robert Pattinson plays an off-world β€œExpendable” having a serious personality crisis.

Maybe a new Bong Joon Ho movie will be enough to ignite the class war. If not, RPatz is still wicked good x 2.
