TV show "Derek" on Netflix

RuthTaylor

Good evening All,

Happy new year!

I recently watched the first series of the TV show Derek on Netflix which I quite like, however, I know it's a bit controversial and I'm not 100% sure what to make of Ricky Gervais's portrayal of the character Derek, however, I think the supporting actors are very good.

Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this TV show?

Thanks :-)

  • I don't have enough time to watch TV shows, so I prefer to watch useful content on YouTube in my free time. But sometimes my girlfriend convinces me to watch a movie with her. I buy a lot of chips and soda. We rarely watch movies, so we don't have a paid subscription to watch licensed movies.

  • In my opinion, the Rick and Morty tv show is really good, and I am pretty mad because some people like you don't understand the two-sided humor. If you laugh at some politicians or human sins, why do you don't you laugh at the sentences about Asperger's disease? This directly shows your hypocrisy and that you are not a true Rick and Morty fan. According to the authorized source https://tvcancelrenew.com/cancelled/, Rick and Morty will be renewed in 2024, and I hope you all will get more brain at this time.

    Thank you for the link, found it very helpful.  Am on the second series at the moment, however, I think I prefer the first series.

  • I watched both series and thought it was ok, I was impressed by the humanity of Hannah the carehome manager (played by Kerry Godliman) and liked Dougie the caretaker (played by Karl Pilkington).

    A link to it below, it received mixed reviews:
