Hell is other people.
Synopsis
After Life (2019) Season 1 — a British comedy-drama, six episodes, watch online on iFILM. Tony Johnson is a newspaper writer in a small English town whose wife just died. He decided grief is a free pass.
He calls his new bluntness a superpower and deploys it on coworkers, strangers, and himself. Sandy arrives at the Tambury Gazette and gives Tony something unexpected to react to. A nursing home nurse refuses to give him an inch. Brian finally gets everyone over to his flat for a story. Six episodes that ask whether weaponizing pain actually protects anything — and what cracks it open.
Ricky Gervais wrote, directed, and leads the cast. His most confessional work, and it shows in the ratio of sharp joke to actual sadness. Stream After Life Season 1 online on iFILM.
