I'm probably one of the few that has never seen the office apart from bits and pieces over time.mandy wrote:Yep. Do it.swoop42 wrote:Anyone seen the new Ricky Gervais show Derek?
Might download that one tonight.
Gervais at his very best.
I did see extras which i enjoyed.
However with this show it's unmistakable that Gervais is a genius.
Gervais delivers a spot on performance as the mildly handicapped Derek, a character you'll just love and somehow he manages to deliver a comedy that has a sweet nature at it's core but still feels fresh and different to anything that I've seen before.
It's not a show that's full of in your face comedy it's much more clever and subtle than that (well apart from Kev) but there is something so endearing and uplifting about it that makes you wish you were one of the patients in the nursing home.
Special mention should also be given to Karl from an idiot abroad fame in his acting debut.
When I see him I feel like he would be what you would get if you mixed me, 5150, what'sinaname, DTM and Tannin all in a blender.
He is either one of the most naturally hilarious, different and whacky people alive or is playing us all for fools and Karl Pilkington is simply a character he plays.
I thinks it's the former.
Hopefully another season to follow soon.
He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD!

Sooner than you think! Full second season available on Netflix September 12th.swoop42 wrote:Hopefully another season to follow soon.
Glad you liked it swoop. It's a great show. I'm surprised it took 6 months to air here, and even then it's buried away at 10pm on a Thursday night.

I downloaded it from Kickass. Your secret is safe with me.swoop42 wrote:^I downloaded it from PB.
Don't tell the cops.
Is that the second season or season one on Netflix?
I was of the understanding that season one was yet to be shown in America.
This is from Wikipedia:
Hmmmmm, maybe that does mean season 1. Bugger.On 9 May 2012, Channel 4 announced that it had commissioned a full series, which began airing on 30 January 2013.[5] On 4 March 2013 (two days before the final episode of the first series was aired), it was announced that Derek had been re-commissioned for a second series.[6]
The series will be available for streaming on Netflix on 12 September 2013.[7]
