That author on Slough,
> Ricky Gervais encapsulated its brutalist new town grim with ‘The Office’ before giving up and writing lame punching-down anti-woke “gags” for the educationally subnormal
That's a very strange reading on Gervais' post-The Office career. After The Office he did things like Extras, a sitcom about extras on TV and film sets, Derek, an emotional series about a well-meaning care worker who thinks it's more important to be kind than popular, and After Life, a series about a man who loses his wife young and how he deals with grief.
Around here in London they always say "it's an independent film" when actually it is Mission Impossible or After Life or Downton etc.
"Sitcoms don't include death"
Ricky Gervais isn't afraid of it...Have you seen After Life?
