What is the show about?
The show “After Life” revolves around Tony. Tony is lead, and Ricky Gervais plays the role. Tony is a middle-aged journalist. His dream of a perfect life crashes to dust after the death of his due to cancer. After this loss, Tony tries to take his own life.
He thinks instead of living long and bothering the world by saying and doing whatever he likes, giving up on life is much better. Tony feels giving up on life is like a Super Power. But he eventually realizes life is much more complicated than he ever thought of while everyone who knows him tries to save this nice guy, who once they used to know.
The concept behind the show:
During an interview, Ricky Gervais explained the ideology and concept behind the character and the series After Life.
“At the end of the day, it’s all those little mundane interactions that actually save your life — they’re the variety of life, they stop you from feeling too sorry for yourself. He’s got to take the dog for a walk, he’s got to go to work to make money to get drunk, and after all that, time heals,” Gervais explained.
