Derek - Ricky Gervais

If you get the chance, watch it.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
Ricky has a gift when it comes to the "documentary" style for sure, obviously the original "The Office", but this one, he's done such a wonderful job writing and directing.
I've finished Season 1, and damn near cried several times, and this was while I was commuting on a bus! ugh.

And a bonus, Karl Pilkington is in it. He does a very very acceptable job himself!

There have only been 2 seasons produced so far, talk of a 3rd or possible mini-series in the works.

I'm not sure how, though.

I'm a fan of Gervais' stuff (as well as Karl's). I've been watching the Ricky Gervais show when I have time, and it's incredible. My husband and I really love it.

sentimental/sweet part of it. Still, I love Gervais's humor, and anything with Karl in it deserves a view!
