This show is a further example of Gervais' contempt for the audience. This time, he tries an experiment, under the guise of his character's "journey through grief" in a picturesque small town, Gervais commits all manner of atrocities.
His goal is to see whether the audience and critics will accept the behaviours despite how loathsome they are, if he coaches them in feel good treacle.
The character commits murder and threatens to kill a child with a hammer,among other things.
This vehicle for Gervais rage should never have seen the light of day.
