This is really good. It is more than a comedy though, so enter with caution.

I loved this show. I just want to get that out of the way, because although I do have some minor complaints, I haven't watched something this good from Netlix in a very long time.

This is a dark comedy mixed with some very effective drama. It is funny at times, and at others is really deep and thought provoking. This isn't a "let's have a beer and watch a comedy" type of movie. So just be warned. It take a serious look at depression, suicide, self-abuse (non-physical), and turns around some very effective writing by Ricky Gervais, who is both the writer and director.

It is so refreshing to see something as serious as the loss of a loved-one being treated with such grace. And this show has grace. It is being shown via trailers as being a comedy, but it is so much more. I would argue the comedic element is the least of its appeal.

I would call this an experience, and it is one that will take you through an emotional roller-coaster, but rest assured it will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy afterwards. This is a gem that I will recommend to anyone that enjoys Ricky Gervais's work.

I'm not going to go into my minor complaints with editing and so forth, simply because this is a show about narrative, and the narrative is very effectively conveyed. I just want to say that it was hilarious to me how Sandy, portrayed by Mandeep Dhillon, had the same type of reaction shot throughout the show. The shot is her looking confused, and then turning her gaze from one side to the other. For about 3 episodes that is how much you see of her - looking from one side to the other. When you watch the show you will see what I mean.

I don't know what else to say really. If you read my other reviews you will note I very easily criticize, however with this one I feel I do not want to. I was a little confused by it having been promoted as a comedy whilst I was watching it, but I am not going to hold the advertising against this gem.

Just a last note, as I mentioned it tackles some very serious issues, so if you are experiencing the loss of a loved-one, or suicidal thoughts, you might not appreciate the dark humor in this.
