Who ordered a heartwarming comedy series “from the mind of Ricky Gervais” about a man who uses his wife’s death as an excuse to treat everyone like crap? Netflix! What are you thinking? No one is interested in After Life (Friday), Gervais’ “dark comedy” (translation: Gervais’ wife calls him fat, Gervais calls a child fat, Gervais calls a stranger in the park fat—edgy!) whose trailer’s denouement is definitely scored to an inspirational Phillip Phillips song! (I am content to believe the swelling guitar at 1:35 is Phillip Phillips and if it’s not I don’t care—it’s Phillipian and belongs on an embarrassing jogging playlist after “Viva La Vida”.)



The Netflix offerings this week are not good. And to add insult to injury, Newsies is leaving on Tuesday. You’re going to have to just continue watching the Jeopardy archive—Ken Jennings and the guy who won 3 million come back for the Battle of the Decades!
