Review of After Life

After Life (2019–2022)
7/10
Decreasing returns
17 January 2022
Series 1 was excellent. Refreshing, funny, clever, excellent characterisations.

Series 2 was good, Refreshing, funny, clever, excellent characterisations. But whilst S1 felt like it covered some ground and made some conclusions, S2 took a step back and treaded water.

Series 3 was the same as S1 and S2 but nowhere near as refreshing, funny or clever. The characterisations were not as good. Several of the best characters are no longer there, replaced by crude characterisations that appear unrealistic and over the top, and a bit nasty.

Parts of it are still very funny and well observed but it feels like its a downgrade on S3. Some of the observations are no longer revelations or shocking, but repeats.
