FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
laura Bravo Ricky Gervais. The whole cast is brilliant. The show allows us to confront our own mortality in a way that is at times uncomfortable but mostly a good reminder that the only real super power is kindness. The rest is just noise. Thank you for the beautiful portrayal of an adult with cognitive disability - for highlighting that true beauty and possibility lies in the eyes of the beholder. Bravo. Hilarious and so emotionally moving. Watch at least two episodes.
ameba-94874 Derek is a great series but may not be your typical run of the mill series, its much much more.There are funny moments, poignant moments, with dramatical undertones it keeps you interested in the lives and relationships of the staff and residents in an aged care facility..Makes you really think about our society, our values and how we interact with others.I stumbled across this special Netflix series quite by accident but have to say now I am a fan of Ricky Gervais, great actor, great character portrayal of Derek. Well worth watching, 9 out of 10 for me :)
wsorah-150-415648 This is a true diamond in the rough. Ricky Gervais is absolutely brilliant, again. I've never quite seen a show like this - in that it has you laughing hysterically one moment and then wiping a tear away in the next. Ricky has developed quite the acting chops as well and he pulls this together quite nicely. He's created a a lovable group of misfits and you can't help but fall in love with them all. I think you'll find yourself enjoying every moment of this show. I only hope that they make more episodes. I really don't want to give anything away except to say it will take you on a swing of emotions. It is a simply wonderful cast. Ricky Gervais is obviously some sort of mad comic genius. He's found a group of actors that aren't very well known at this point with himself at the center. In the end I honestly don't know how he does it - the man seems to have the Midas touch.
hatherlybe best program ever.bring Karl Pilkington as caretaker as Geoff is an arsehole.also, I would like to see more of the guy from the zoo.more beach trips more Karl Pilkington when he is brought back.p.s I need to fill these two lines so...I think that um more Derek generally I also think that there should be more Kev but less sexual jokes more animals from the cat and dog home place.overall, I think that the program is great, one thing however. I feel that Kev needs to dress a little less smartly because technically he is a tramp and he mainly wears jeans and a jumper so, yeah. the end, boom.
