Ricky Gervais' new show on Netflix. Has anybody seen it? I just watched the first season and holy shit was I blown away. Reminded me of The Office with a lot more heart. I have never even seen the UK version either, should probably do that.

Anyways it's pretty hilarious and found myself laughing out loud a lot. Must watch.

Found it and watched the entire first season in 1 morning. I loved it. It was charming and warm and sometimes funny.

I even teared up in the season 1 finale there.

watched it when it was first on TV god knows how long ago. Liked it but it's just not close to The Office or even Extras. Also can't help but feel like, no matter how much he talks about heart and kindness etc, that he's taking the piss a bit. Although "who would win, a shark or a suicide bomber?" might be the funniest line he's ever written. And Karl Pilkington is ridiculously ridiculously good in it. And the final scene of the original pilot (not sure if that's on Netflix, haven't checked) is soul crushing.

idk if I like it. All the "sentimental" stuff seems kinda forced... Karl Pilkington is really funny though but

I love it. Can't wait for new episodes.

Also I had no idea The Office was like 14 episodes lol. I just compared it to US version and thought it had a lot of seasons. That's mint, I might watch them all tonight.
