After Life's Most Heartbreaking Moments | Netflix 

"I'd rather be nowhere with her than somewhere without her" It almost killed me :c Wish they included that line here :c

When Ricky stops being funny and starts to be serious, it's sad in some scary way.

‘Please be happy’ broke me. Brilliant series

When we were young, my wife would say, "It sure is going to be sad when one of us dies." Boy, was she right. After six years of cancer-hell she passed at age 47. She would tell me she felt worse for me than she did for herself. She was right about that too. This series hits all the highs and lows of trying to climb out of the morass that comes from losing your best friend and better half.

"I'd rather live missing him than for him to live missing me. That's how much I love him."

“I love you dad” “G A Y” Gosh I miss this scene...

I got weak when that old man who had 5 of the same birthday card said 'I go to tell her, but then I remember' I teared up

"Your my boy" bye world while I cry.

I miss the one single line which resonated with me the most. The scene where they sit in Tony's living room with the junkie discussing the idea of suicide. I think Tony in that scene understood that his idea of suicide seemed very childish in the eye of a person who literally had nothing to lose but his pain, and would genuinely, gladly end his own suffering when given the chance, and the one single thing which kept him from doing so was his own drug addiction. Then Tony handed him enough money to overdose on heroin and delivered the most powerful line in the whole show: "Don't waste it on food."

I dont cry, im a 40 year old guy, have not cried properly since i was under 10 years old. This show made me cry at least 3 - 4 times. Brilliant stuff.

“I didn’t get that long” Always gets me

My husband passed unexpectedly in 2011 and we were married less than 100 days but together 12 years. My soulmate. I love this show and Ricky’s character is spot on with all his emotions. ❤️ grief is hard. Love this show!

Binge watched the whole first season on Netflix last night. I laughed, I cried, I understood life and death and love and loss and grief a little better. Thank you, Ricky Gervais.

Outstanding writing from Gervais as per usual. He's a comedy genius and has a fantastically unique talent of fusing comedy and drama, something that is very difficult to do. The Office, Extras, Derek and After Life all came with lessons and brought comedy, but these scenes in particular from After Life portrayed some of the most important of life's lessons.

when she takes her bandanna off and he says you're so beautiful :"(

The music taste Ricky has is amazing. It really goes well with the scene and adds so much emotion to it for example when he smokes ‘rocketman’ comes on and you listen to the words and god it got me as I was in tears! This series made me cry so much but also made me laugh I don’t know how Ricky did it but he pulled it off so well I can’t wait for season 2

Such a brilliant series.So glad its coming back for another run.

Best show I’ve seen in ages.. hilarious and heartbreaking.

Just lost my 92-year old dad to the virus. The line "please be happy " he never got and never understood. Dying bitter about life is no way to live 92 years.

That line where she says Tony you're breaking my heart cut me to the bone and then just a simple ok to let her know he understands. Not over acted, just enough.

They might be the sad parts of Afterlife but they're also the best life lessons! Thank you Ricky! 💝🌹😊

Ricky Gervais has proved the world he not only able to make something that get us laughing our arses off, but also get us cry.

I loved After Life. Cried and laughed. Beautiful.

The scene where he burst into tears in recording while saying .....you look so beautiful.......literally i cried so much

My heart melts when he says 'i didn't get that lomg'. Makes you realise life is too short

One of the best shows, I ever watched.

I deliberately clicked on this video fully aware that I'd be bawling within the first minute. And that's in fact what happened.

The chemistry between Tony and Sandy is just beautiful

‘Please Be Happy’ Damn that hits hard

“I love you dad” “Gay” Why’d they skip that

I’m not crying, you’re crying

REAL. Thanks Ricky Gervais. I wish you were My Friend! .. I Love people who are Real about who they are as well...

One of the best series ever made.

Those graveyard scenes with Anne is just beautiful.

I cannot put into words what an emotional mess I was after watching this (twice) now. I have laughed, I have cried (a lot) - so thought provoking and puts everything into perspective. I really loved this so much and I really hope that there is a future series in the making soon. Thank you for making me think and also making me do a video diary for my family which I started today. I have terminal cancer so I have written all day and in the shut down- even though its not the happiest thing I have ever done- it has helped me a lot so for that I thank you for making "Afterlife". Stay safe

Ricky gets me every time. The Office, Extras, Derek and this are all so funny, but they bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye. Brilliant writing and always brilliant acting by Ricky.

I absolutely love this film . Painful , funny & beautiful .

The scene where Tony gives Julian the money to buy his overdose, is one of the best scenes I saw in a televesion series in a VERY long time. Too bad it's not in this overview...

Just binge watched this. Couldnt stop watching. '' You're in pain, the thing you lost is the same thing that can stop that pain '' I saw some real tears and it broke me down. My psychiatrist told me the same in different words. It broke me down because someone awknowledged my pain and it felt it wasnt for everybody who is in pain. Because of that pain i was afraid to love again. I lost trust and love and only trust and love can help me overcome the pain.

I fully believe that this show saves lives

I think one of the saddest parts of this show is knowing what Ashley Jensen went through last year and watching her in this

At a period in my life right now where I’ve lost a lot, and have considered doing some petty silly things, this show has really helped.

Your my boy omg I burst into tears 😢 😭 I think he loved his father very much

S2E6 " Goodnight gorgeous, you gotta say it back, or I won't sleep..." " Now I can sleep " I don't have doubts this is the most heartbreak of all episodes, I almost died crying :'(

He can express so much with just his eyes.

Ive been hiding under a big stone,i only found this series last Sunday afternoon, so funny and true to life, my mum has just gone into care, with dementia, so hard to deal with, last wk she wasnt even sure who i was.

A beautiful show . I watch these videos and still cry .

I don’t get emotional easily but when he cried after watching that video of him and his wife drunk it got me

I finished watching series 2, greatest performance by rick so far.. genius

Some strong quotes came out of this series and they touch me so much

without any doubt the best tv show iv ever seen in my life, sad/tragic/funny/thoughtful , an all time classic

Beautifully happy, sad and uplifting all at the same time!. Genius!.

A genuine person,always Mrs.Crawley.Dame Penelope Wilton.

A show that can make me laugh AND cry.. Gotta see this.

Ricky gevais can make you laugh as well as cry, that's talent!

Nothings as good if you don’t share it ❤️🥺💔

I loved this series and can not wait for the second season. Ricky and the cast are simply outstanding.

Penelope Wilton is wonderful.

the scene with his dad is fucking heart breaking, i love ricky

Penelope Wilton was superb, really loved her in this a great actress

I gotta say, this show has definitely affected my thoughts and emotions. I was in a very dark place. Still kinda am. I, too, wanted to off myself. But after watching the show, I was kind of like "it's not all about me". I can hate my life and wake up every day wishing that I hadn't, but I still can make others happy. And it's not like it takes a lot of effort. Just say a nice word, smile, try to relate with other people. I will die someday anyway, we all will. So I had the thought - why not just try to make other people happy, even in little ways, in whatever ways I think work? My life doesn't matter, but the life of others does and what if I can somehow make it better for them? Of course, there is no guarantee I will make anyone happy, to even a small degree, but seeing as there is no other meaning or purpose to life, I might as well do that.

This series is... Perfection ❤️

This series is like a mirror. Hurt so much watching to the bitter truths about (my) life

I have just watched the first series of this and boy some of the scenes hit you real hard 😭 Ricky is a fucking GENIUS! and the actors he chose are fantastic

I absolutely love it how Ricky presents both sides of Tony's struggle so evenly and with such weight. You really grasp how Tony is feeling and why he's acting the way he does, but the fact that the PEOPLE, and I capitalise that because the people in it seem so real, around him are the ones to soak up his aggression, to get him to do something about his difficulties, if necessary call him out on his bullshit, and just generally be there to pick him up if he falls down... Absolutely incredible storytelling

The best series ive ever seen in any genre. I wish more people knew it.

Brilliant! Best series I've ever watched...

03:08 That is a very accurate description of a major depressive disorder. Many movies or TV-shows describe characters as openly suicidal or constantly say how they want to kill themselves. People who are actually in pain and want it to end don't share their feelings until it's too late.

‘I didn’t get that long’ CRUSHED ME (at the graveyard)

It's fantastic. Series one is awesome. Saw it ages ago and it still shines.

I looove After Life ❤️😢 It makes me calm so much A real calmness at my soul Thank u Ricky 👉❤️👈😙

I teared up a bit at this show

Such a truly extraordinary show.

I haven’t watched this yet. I will now. Looks pretty good.

The day when the guy who sold drugs to Tony died idk why but that guy had something in him...he is such a good actor I hope he could have continued

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.

Loved it , so sad and eye opening .

1:00 Harriot Jones former British Prime minister

I never got the luxury of being loved like this, something two of my exes has said still causes me depression was about the lines "you will never be loved and be happy"

"You're in pain. The thing you lost, is the same thing that can stop that pain."

This show is remarkable, it takes you on a journey on a spectrum of emotions, and it was like therapy for me.

Watching afterlife series 1 as borders are closed in Hungary. Love this series and love Ricky Gervais.

Please be happy You’re breaking my heart

This is a incredibly good show!

Nothing’s as good if you don’t share it. 😊😊

Just amazing

It's a crying shame that this series is not available on terrestrial television. It needs to be. Thank you Ricky.

Can’t wait for Afterlife 2!!!! 🥳🥳

I really love this show, but it guts me every episode!

2:46 oh god my heart

She isn’t Anne; she’s Harriet Jones, former prime minister and MP for Flydale North

this struck a chord when i lost my dad last september, not for me so much but for my mum who had been married to my daddy for 52 years, they had known each other since they were children, the orginal teenage sweethearts, she didnt want to go on until she realised how much we still needed her, loved her...........its a double edged sword for Tony, he has lost his wife and now he is slowly losing his dad, he remembers the past like it is the present, he tells his dad he loves him. when we lose someone so precious we think we shouldnt move on or be happy again, that if we dare to smile or laugh its wrong, we feel like we are treading on the grave of our loved ones and mocking their loss, i feel guilty everytime i laugh, i know my mum feels guilty and its the little things she misses like sharing a tv programme together, or gigling at something incosquential, these moments are more precious than gold, worth more than all the sunrises in the world but we do deserve to be happy for the those have gone, we owe them that and what they have given us, to carry on what they have left behind. we are letting them down if we dont, i told my mum that, it took a bit of convincing at first, it doesnt ease the pain of loss,i cry everytime i watch this series, sheer brilliance of how it feels to lose part of yourself, i will watch it again and try and get it on dvd

I love this ❤️

I think I cried and laughed a little in every single fucking episode 😭😂

I love the father. Such a sweet man

Brilliant

Me and my misses always joked that I'd go first as I'm 6 years older. She now has stage 2 cancer and she will only have about 10 years maybe less. I don't know what I'm gonna do.

"The same thing you lost is the same thing that could stop that pain"

We need more

God I love this !!
