Review of After Life

After Life (2019–2022)
5/10
Bloopers better than the show
22 June 2023
I never watched the show when it came out, but I came across the blooper reels on YT and thought they were hilarious. The show, however, turned out to be something else entirely. It should have been called the Ricky Maudlin Show. Watch as a sad chubby middle aged man wallows in self pity for 3 seasons while being as unpleasant as possible to everyone around him. That's about it. Five stars for the beautiful dog and for David Bradley who played Ricky's Altzheimers father. He was one of the few really interesting characters in the show, all the while being given almost no lines at all. Now if he had been healthy and living with Ricky then that really could have made a good show, with the interplay of sad sack son against no nonsense get on with it father. Best advice for Ricky's character? Take that laptop and recycle it. Be trapped in the past is sad and boring.
