    Brilliant observation by Gervais at 3:39: “. . .in fiction, we create our own heroes and villains as role-playing for the soul.”

    Ricky Gervais on trial for 5 minutes by Stephen Colbert for ‘cancel culture’ is almost as entertaining as the Depp/Heard trial

    After Life is a beautiful show. For anyone that hasn’t watched it, it is totally worth it. I’m sure I will re-watch it at some point.

    There once was a _Buffy_ episode titled “The Body”.
    In which her mother dies.

    Watched it once or twice I think, can’t any more. All the others – rewatched them countless times.
