Derek

[Tommy26]

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 ?

[bluegraham]

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.

[G-Wrath]

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.

He is a twat but he's a funny twat ha

[Zeta]

Can't stand Gervais, he's not funny and he just comes off as a twat.

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.

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.

[BlueBeard]

I won't bother watching, can't stand Gervais.

[MKBlue]

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.

[Zeta]

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.

[shedpensioner]

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.

[Tommy26]

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.

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Thought it was sh*te, turned it off after about 15 unfunny minutes.

 

He's never going to top The Office
