I watched After Life and it was good. Very, very dark though and while you at times feel sorry for his character as he’s so devastated and depressed over his wife’s death, it’s also hard to like him because he is such a p*** and does one thing in particular that was horrific (if you’ve watched, you’ll know what I mean).
The ending ended up being quite life affirming however, which was a surprise. It will be interesting where he goes with it in the 2nd season.
I don’t actually remember what you are referring to without refreshing my memories on the series specifically. He did lots of things that were not great. I know it was depressing material but I’m always drawn to great drama. Hard to watch sometimes though I agree. I’ll finally watch season 2.
On another note I saw the Richard Jewell movie yesterday. Wow. It was hard to watch. The actor playing Jewell was captivating. It made me sick to my stomach. I knew it would be upsetting to watch but wasn’t prepared for how upset it actually made me. Go see it if you haven’t. Highly recommend.
