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.

Don't over water it

Why the change in tone??
deaeight18 January 2022
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.
The unexplained absence of Sandy is saddening...
charlieedmond14 January 2022
Sandy was in my opinion, part of the foundation of the show. She was one of the more relatable characters just wanting to live a normal life without the burden of 'family' and other expectation. Sad to see her disappear, content the show has returned for another season.
Wrapped up nicely in season two

Warning: Spoilers
This series really didn't move forward and some of the writing was a a bit weak.
Season two wrapped everything up nicely with everyone getting some form of resolutions.
Ricky has said in the past that he was worried about breaking the sacred 'two series' unwritten 'Fawlty Towers' rule. This time he should have stuck to the rules.

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.
Over baked
garydjardine20 January 2022
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.
No need for a 3rd season
ThomasDK20 January 2022
I enjoyed season 1 and 2, but gave up season 3 after the first episode. Boring beyond belief, nothing engaging, whatsoever. I really do like Ricky Gervais, I think he's brilliant at times, but this just smells like riding the moneywave, as long as it's possible. Shame really, but nothing new, just boredom and sadness for the sake of it. Move on, nothing to see here.
yeah just boring

Some of you analyse the whole season 3 but I just want to say that this episode individually has nothing to offer , not even adjusting yourself to the rhythm of the whole environment since not only we have repetitive feelings out of the main character but the absence of sandy and roxy contreract the core point of this episode's existense. The real reason that this episode has 7.4 and not 2 it's because it's nothing to hate or love in this first glance of the series but the expectations are still up for the following episodes by the fanbase , nevertheless, to the people that took one minute to read this review dont waste 25 minutes to watch this episode , just start from the second one, time sometimes is more significant.
Money grab from Gervais
jhegre-121 January 2022
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.
