Anne's Most Powerful Moments In After Life | Netflix 

The exchange of truths between Anna and Tony is a gift to all of us.

"Science makes us understand how to stay alive longer, feelings gives us the reasons to want to." What an amazing expression this is, how to hold tightly to life and have hope to live.

How Penelope Wilton wasn't nominated for awards for this performance, I will never understand. She had to create a character just sitting on that bench for almost everyone of her scenes, where the focus is on Tony. And my god, she made it look easy.

"If you want to be an angel you've got to do it when you're alive."

The chats the two had on the bench were in all honesty the highlight of the show for me.

Those chats on the bench are the most poignant, heartfelt, happy and sad interactions I think I have ever seen in any program I have watched. Brilliant acting and writing!!

Penelope Wilton is an amazing actress. Sublime acting between her and Gervais. 👌

Just a beautiful show. My wife is a nurse, she works tirelessly in emergency, she's my angel.

We don’t talk about death and loss enough in our culture. It is a part of life. This was a real gift from Ricky. Just when you think you know a guy through his comedy he throws us a curve ball. I do like his comedy, but this series runs deeper and addresses important junctures we have along our journey.

Love Penelope Wilton and, now, I like Ricky. What wise words to remember, as well.

Wonderful how the characters in the series have the beautiful human side ❤️

I undestand the sentiment. "I want you to live, not just exist, waiting for your own turn". But I now know that its not that simple. I never wore my heart on my sleeve. My upbringing saw to that. And when I met my wife, my love to her was more than any emotion I ever had. She didnt just make me a hundred percent more. But exponentially more than I ever was. As a brother, father and man. When she died, I burned to a cinder. All of my interests, hobbies, and likes in life were turned to ash. Just as much as I loved her, I now grieve. I have no "wants" left in life. I have only "Musts". I must stay alive for my sons. I must stay alive to see them get good lives and support them. But there is nothing left for me. Not a day goes by where I dont want to just end it, and get a spot next to her. I can't ofcourse. But its the only "want" I have left. A hole in the ground next to my wife. Everyone insists I "must get better". I "must move on". "She would have wanted that". The two former are impossible, and the latter I realize for full well. But when I gave my word: "Till death do you part" I ment it. With every fiber of my being. And that promise doesn't end untill I am dead. She would think me a bloody fool, but I gave my word, to the only woman I ever really loved. Its not that I cant see a woman is aesthetically pretty, or intellectually interesting. But they just dont come even remotely close to what I had. So, while I know some can move on, some can love again, I just dont see it in the cards for me. Besides, asking a woman to live up to the standards of a dead woman, is not only unfair, and not something to build a relationship on, its neigh impossible. Some things in life, you just do not move on from. Some falls, where you just dont rise, or if you do rise, you rise as an entirely different person. I am not the man I used to be. I am a corpse, parading around with a mask, to keep everyone around me happy, waiting desperately for time to pass.

When i watched afterlife i wondered for a long time whether Anne was actually an angel. Initially she was always around to speak to Tony and you never seen her interact with anyone else. Either way, she is still an angel. Most beautiful character in the programme

A part of me feels like this monologue was spoken to me. This was perfect ❤

Anne was the best part of the series ❤

It’s all about hope!’ That’s it ! Anne is his angel ! Their relationship is so good, love this series and special scenes like these

i wish this show had more seasons its one of the best shows ive watched

This made me cry 😭

Penelope is a great actor and a real corker in her earlier years still lovely today

Ricky ? You are a superstar. From a seventy five year old senior citizen. Brilliant series keep them coming 🤔🥲🤣👍🏻

the way Ricky is moving his feet like he's uncomfortable is so insanely accurate... it's exactly what i do when I'm talking about my sister who passed.

i've been struggling for 4 months on my therapy to heal my temprament issue. My doctor asked me that i need to listed the movies which is good for my mental health. This one is my favorite! i cant even imagine how movie can change someone's life. And i hope my theraphy works on me like forever and worth it!

The outtakes are funniest outtakes on the planet, ever 😅 I've laughed so hard my sides hurt ❤

Just realised that the actress who plays Anne played Shaun’s mum in Shaun of the Dead

I love everything about this character

She was my favourite character from this brilliant tv show

There are some fantastic lines on that bench. Brilliantly written.

I know this is only a program but these two and there talking feels so real and hits different

She is his angel. I've always thought she wasn't a real person he only met her at the cemetery where she always said the right things to help Tony.

I adore this series just beautiful 💕💕💕

Love Anne's words

She has a soul ❤️

This was some of the best writing on any show I have ever seen in my entire life.

Ricky Gervais has said that he considers himself an agnostic-atheist. He hasn't changed his position on this. Not sure why people would think he has? He has made no comment to the contrary. People seem to get mixed up on the terminology. Agnosticism deals with knowledge which means that none of us knows for sure whether there is such a thing as a god(s); so basically making all of us agnostics. Atheism deals with belief, some have it making them believers while others don't making them atheists (this can of course vary in degrees). So agnosticism deals with the subject of knowledge; whereas, atheism deals with the subject of belief.

Can't imagine any other actress playing Anne

The best character

I can't say how many times I watch the series. But it's still great

There will never be a better situation comedy than this.

I have lung cancer ! But I’m not scared to die anytime. Im well prepared!

Phenomenal writing Phenomenal acting Life Lessons

I'm back here because I never thought I'd be in Tony's situation.....but here I am

Yesssss ❤️

Mr. Gervais! You saved my life!

Been there.......now flat on my back most of the time.....i am waiting...

Everyone in the world should have an Anne in their life.

I watched this just after my father in law died. I miss him everyday

Godammnit let me have a quiet drink on a Tuesday without tears already.

What is the song used pls?

I noticed she let her hair grow gray when it was red in the beginning. My grandma did that when my grandpa passed away.

I think I know who she is.

Anne is Tony’s guardian angel

Say it out loud,,,,EVERYDAY IN FEAR.... I'm tired.. what does hope mean ? This clip is my life, apart from the angel bit.

I was stunned by The Office. Extras was great. I guess I then just got pissed off by Gervaise cos of how nauseously piss-off fantastic he was. I hope that makes sense lol. After Life is high art.

And then she took him to The Winchester and waited for all of this to blow over....

Why didn’t the series end up with Tony ending up with nurse Emma ?? She is absolutely gorgeous 🥰

To be honest I thought Anne was a figment of Tony's imagination until the end of season 3

I never understood why she would care about him so much. He's not particularly likeable.

🤢

This seems like a lovely show, but it's hard to watch knowing they are spreading false information. Seek Jesus Christ and you will feel it too

Basically I'm Tony...
