Posted February 2, 201312 yr New Series by Rick Gervais I loved the pilot episode, it has alot of potential and could well be a gem of a series. the criticism it has drew if very much unfair IMO nothing to suggest Gervais is " taking the piss " out of people with disabilities. Just more gervais bashing really i believe the first episode of the series after the pilot aired in England recently, any reviews ?
February 2, 201312 yr I watched it and I quite liked it,Karl makes me laugh by just looking at him. To be fair I like all rickys stuff the office, extras and I love idiot abroad.
February 2, 201312 yr I love Gervais. My friends think I worship him. I won't watch it until all episodes are available. Things people have been saying on twitter are very positive. From what I can gather it is more so a drama and a comedy. I think a lot of noobs are critical that it isn't funny. That's like having a whinge about Law & Order not being funny.

Like all rickys stuff it depends on your sense of humour.
February 2, 201312 yr Never been a Ricky fan...I think he is overrated.....Ive always thought of him as an over confident twat.....Just my taste i suppose

February 2, 201312 yr I wouldn't know if Derek is in poor taste or not. I'd assume that it probably is because Ricky Gervais is behind it, but I can't be bothered to waste my time finding out for sure. The man isn't funny, never has been and the world would be a better place if he were blinked out of existence.
February 2, 201312 yr Gervais is a d**khead, an over-grown schoolboy who disappeared up his own arse after he got lucky with The Office (thanks mainly to his working with a bunch of talented people). Whenever I see him on TV and hear that obnoxious laugh I want to reach in and squash his stupid head. I haven't watched any of Derek yet but It's probably safe to say it won't be my cup of tea.
February 2, 201312 yr Not a great fan of the man, but if it's a choice between him, James Corden, Miranda, Dawn French or any of the unfunny career f**kwits making a good living out of not being funny at all then Ricky it is.
February 2, 201312 yr Why not just pick none of them, they're all terrible. Jo Brand is f**king appaling as well, how does she keep getting hired for these panel shows.
February 3, 201312 yr I liked the office in spite of Gervais & I love Idiot Abroad, but that's for Karl. I did enjoy Derek & for those that haven't seen it, perhaps you should judge the show & not the man. It's not a comedy more a drama/comedy if it had anyone else as the lead actor people would be going mad for it.
February 4, 201312 yr Author i think this thread proves alot about gervais, you either love him or hate ! Shed pensioner i live in australia so havent seen any episodes yet of derek apart from the Pilot, is the 1st episode after along the same lines ?

Very much along those lines, I think the point being, see the person & not the disability.
February 4, 201312 yr Thought it was sh*te, turned it off after about 15 unfunny minutes. He's never going to top The Office
