Reviews (1)
Honestly, I'm surprised Netflix backed a project by Ricky Gervais and even allowed him to direct it; I can't help but wonder how many political correctness watchdogs kept an eye on him during filming. Tony's character resonates with me because that grumpy outlook aligns with my own :-) Plus, he populated the series with fantastic characters, and Netflix added the right hues, leaving me very content after the first episode. / Lesson learned: Avoid provoking someone who has nothing to lose.
