The Ricky Gervais series? Yes, I very much enjoyed the first two. A lot more subtlety than some people give him credit for.

Do you know when it’s being released?

I don't, no. I did just do a search and it looks like the date hasn't been announced but they it might be next month.

Well just got my hopes up there that this thread was going to say it's been released online today or something, but no, hopes dashed by there still being no date for series 3. The outlaws on BBC iPlayer is good to fill in some time while we wait though ?

Same! I can't wait for it, the first and second series were an emotional rollercoaster. I controversially really like RG, I agree with a lot of what he says, especially about coming across things online that you are offended by..

I really wasn’t expecting to like it and the first few episodes were tough going but now I really like it and looking forwards to series 3.
OH tried to get me into Extras whilst we wait for it, and just no!

I watched the brief trailer on his Twitter feed. There was an update from his fellow cast saying they’d watched Ep 1&2 and it was the best ever. I‘m bursting for the next series and I didn’t even like RG before I watched Afterlife. He’s pure genius!!

Bit of an odd trailer, but knowing RG he just wanted an excuse to play with a dog for a day

I binge-watched Afterlife 3 last night in one sitting. Absolutely loved it! The ending was perfect

I binge watched last night too. I don't normally like Ricky Gervais but he is excellent in this.

I’ve just watched series 1 again and will watch series 2 again before I watch the new series. I love it. Every episode makes me laugh out loud and cry, often at the same time. Brilliantly written. Oh, and anything that includes a GSD gets my vote. ?

I exhausted myself crying through the whole of season 3 on Friday.
I wasn't a Gervais fan before AL and now I think he's a genius. I still can't watch the UK Office or Derek but I've watched his films and stand up and I "get" him now.

I just finished watching the last episode a few minutes ago. That last scene ? OMG, I‘m crying so much I can barely type this. Absolutely brilliant. Well done Ricky!

Thank you
We were born the same day, same month, same year and in the same road. We knew each other all our lives and celebrated every birthday I can remember together
She believed in God and heaven, so when he started talking about his wife's beliefs in the trailer it started me crying

We absolutely loved it.
There were two scenes in particular that really resonated with us and made us feel a little bit less guilty about the way we sometimes feel .
If I say zebra crossing for one and toddler for the other I think folk will know what I mean without spoiling it for those who haven't seen it.
Absolutely loved it.

I can't imagine how you are feeling. My bf is 2 weeks younger than me and had her pram parked next to mine. ..she had a cancer scare last year and just thinking about loosing her was unbearable.
So sorry xxx

Wow!! What a fantastic finale. So good. He’s such a genius. I love how funny it is and then heart wrenching then you laugh again. Absolutely superb. He was funny on The One show tonight too!

Einstein would be proud of my Insanity...
We tried watching series one last night on the strength of this thread but we just can't enjoy seeing such realistic misery and such deep black humour. We won't be watching any more, are we alone?

My daughter in law doesn’t get Ricky at all. I didn’t like the office but saw him live and have been hooked ever since. After life is pure genius.

As is the case with all things, you can’t please all of the people all of the time and it won’t be for everyone.
