I've spent the day binge watching this series. I lost my husband 10 years ago and this touched my heart in a way that made me bawl like a baby to the point I had to walk away for a break several times. I don't know how Ricky Gervais wrote this so accurately, but it is absolutely spot-on. The walk through grief is a gut-wrenching slow torture as you try to live a life you didn't want. No short-cuts or easy answers. I lived this series and Gervais has an absolute gift. I love the dark humor and laughed out loud too, but this was a healing journey. You have to stuff your grief down to get through life, but today, it all boiled to the surface. What an absolutely poignant look at life, love and death. Brilliant.
