I spent a couple of hours last night with tears crawling down my face. Tears of sadness, and tears of laughter. I've just read that Ricky Gervais has said, writing and directing the series, whilst immensely satisfying, is also daunting. He should try watching it! I only made it through the first four brilliant episodes before the emotional roller-coaster became too much. I'll most likely complete the series tonight.
Anyone else tuned in, yet?
I will stick with The Office. I just thought someone said it was hilarious ... and I was waiting to laugh. Maybe I got that wrong.
Pixie, I was a bit ... hmmmm ... after the first episode of 'Derek' ... but the second changed all that. I was so sorry when it ended. I really wanted more.
I might give it another go soon, then... What really makes me cringe is when different people, who may have some disabilities, are seen to be pitied, which is so rarely right. I'm not sure I trust him with this lol.
The Office, I wouldn't describe as hilarious, it is cringey, and possibly quite accurate if you work in an office. I think everyone knows someone like him...
My favourite Derek episode was when his Dad tuned up, if that episode doesn't tug at your heart strings or make you blub, there must be something wrong with you (lol).
