    Over baked

    Over baked and same-y. Sorry line went round in circles. Not many genuine moments of humerus material. Played on too many of the same old tricks in the final season. Whilst I admit that Tony's grief would be very difficult to overcome, in the context of a series, it plays on his situation too much and was much a repeat of the previous seasons. A lot of montages and long drawn out and unnecessary scenes.

    Money grab from Gervais

    I would think Ricky has all the money he needs by now. So why do this?

    The first two seasons were great, at times briliant! But no one needs to see Ricky Gervais flogging a dead horse for six episodes.

    I feel bad for the actors who are briliant, all of them. I understand it is tempting to keep going when you have made something decent, but Ricky Gervais should know better!

    I wonder what Golden Globe Ricky would have had to say about soppy 3rd season rehashed Afterlife Ricky.

    Why the change in tone??

    Wasn't Tony looking much more positively in his life outlook at the end of series 2? Why the switch back to wallowing and gloom? Why is he now so cold towards Emma when the ice was definitely melting at the end of season 2? No explanation given. This ep was also steeped to the max in sentimentality and worship of the oh so perfect dearly departed Lisa. Disappointing.

    Seen it before

    Same old same old with literally no development and lazy writing. A few smirks but it feels like a soap opera that will just go on and on, the scene on the bench was particularly galling and cheaply manipulative. A shame.

    Don't over water it

    Always so sad to see Tony still wallowing, however understandable it may be. Love the cactus bit, that was just pure comedy. Good acting and character progression.

      The gravestone of Anne's husband shows that his name was Stanley Oliver. That's a tribute to the 1920s comedians Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

      Anne: It's okay to have feelings, things that aren't logical. Science makes us understand how to stay alive longer, feelings gives us the reason to want to.
