I came across this film today, November 2020, quite surprised that I had never heard of it before.
Firstly, I haven't always appreciated Ricky Gervais, and if I would have seen this film when it first came out, I may not have enjoyed it as much as I did. But having moved on from 'The office', (Something I will always love), Ricky's humour has changed somewhat over the years, becoming more serious leading to his latest creations of 'Afterlife'.
And although Afterlife is not a comedy as such, whilst special correspondents is, I found the humour in both ver similar. Not the slapstick, in your face style of 'The office', but a subtler humour which I have now grown to enjoy just as much.
So yes, I am glad I have only found this film this year. An unexpected find, no hype, just an enjoyable film full of Rickys brand of humour.
