An awful mess, no less. Everything is just rehashed
The videos of the dead wife become increasingly annoying (really, is anyone ever always that happy? Did they really never ever have an argument?)
The magical widow is there just to tell him how wonderful he is
Ashley Jensen must have rued the day she agreed to this, considering how her character gets zero development
The secondary characters go nowhere - they’re all grotesque and not in a funny, satirical way
The jokes (especially about fat people) are so inane you just want them to stop (my theory is that is why Conaty didn’t come back)
The ending is absolutely awful and the final fading has been done a million times
And, most of all, Mr Gervais, you had the temerity of using Joni Mitchell’s Both Sides Now to mask the unpleasant sugary fluffy nothingness of an ending
Shame, shame on you
