That's what I love about him! He is pretty insufferable in this for good reasons but he plays it beautifully. He's one of my favorite comedians and I would love to catch a show but he's in the UK seemingly 24x7. If he came over here; tickets would astronomical. He has another show Derek where he plays someone with some social disorders and it's probably a bit much for some people's sensitivities but it's absolutely hilarious.
Sometimes to good effect, sometimes less so.
Are you talking about the movie where he is a ghost haunting his wife? That one was typical Hollywood romcom "with a twist". It was ok because I like Gervais but Afterlife really runs the gamut from completely hilarious to deep sadness. It's a great watch imo. The other series I mentioned Derek is all hilarious with a bit of heart thrown in perfectly.
Ah yes, finally found it: Ghost Town. We enjoyed it, but it's definitely got that rom-com template vibe.
It's some onion sandwich material from time to time. So be prepared
His love for animals and incorporation of the dog into the storyline tugs at the heartstrings for me something fierce as well. Great ensemble cast of weirdos that really rounds it out 
Thank you for the heads-up. I routinely cry if a dog food commercial catches me the wrong way, so...It's some onion sandwich material from time to time. So be prepared
It's either that or some god tier power metal song that I loved when I was 15 triggering the nostalgia in me like nothing else
Yeah, I've teared up at rock concerts more often than I'd care to admit. TMI for this forum/ thread, maybe.It's either that or some god tier power metal song that I loved when I was 15 triggering the nostalgia in me like nothing else

Are these all AppleTV shows? That's another "barrier of entry" for me.
Yeah, all AppleTV. If you buy a superior computing device, you get it free for a few months.
Kerry Godliman is INCREDIBLE. Her season of Taskmaster was FAN.TASTIC (not terribly safe for work):
I loved Pluribus. Go figure. I thought the pacing felt a little rushed at the end, but I'm hoping they're setting up for a strong Season 2.
I hate Jason Siegel but loved Shrinking.
Worlds better than Rogen. Thankfully. Ford can lean a little too hard into the Harrison Ford caricature but I can see where that works for him in some roles.
