I am SO glad you watched it. It's eye opening and absolutely brilliant, isn't it. I am speechless about its genius actually.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1348849 Sun, 07 Sep 2014 00:51:29 +0000 Janet 1348849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I started watching it, and it really is worth watching! It's funny but not in the in-your-face way you might expect from Ricky Gervais. It makes some wonderful statements about how we handle aging and how society treats older people, and about the assumptions people make about others based on first impressions. Thank you for the recommendation, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1345790 Wed, 03 Sep 2014 02:32:01 +0000 Aziraphale 1345790@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okee dokee!

Ricky Gervais is genius. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1345257 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 15:11:51 +0000 Diane P 1345257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree, Ricky Gervais is a genius. I started watching Derek, expecting a comedy. Boy, I was wrong.... I had not prepared myself for the emotional roller coaster.<br />The character development is amazing, I even felt sorry for Kev ( it took a while!)<br />Great show!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1345242 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 14:55:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1345242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will definitely have to check this out - thanks Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344828 Tue, 02 Sep 2014 00:06:57 +0000 jackiec 1344828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Noting this for when I finish season 2 of Orange is the New Black (I know I know...but i love it). This sounds like it might be nicer on the brain... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344575 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 16:39:16 +0000 Janet 1344575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you!

I'm going to start watching it this week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344213 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:58:38 +0000 Caro in Oz 1344213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, glad you like it Angie - it's on my very long list </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344208 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 01:48:35 +0000 Deborah 1344208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We have this on air at the moment in Australia :)&nbsp; I have only caught bits of it but it looks very good:)&nbsp; I have a funny relationship with Ricky Gervais and find only some of his work appeals to me but maybe I need to look more closely at this series </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344150 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:45:09 +0000 doubleh 1344150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always love series suggestions and I agree- this one sounds compelling. &nbsp;If not only to see Ricky Gervais as "the kindest person in the world". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344130 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:27:21 +0000 LACeleste 1344130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds extremely compelling Angie. &nbsp;I will watch it. &nbsp;Thank you for suggesting it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/watch-derek#post-1344129 Mon, 01 Sep 2014 00:23:30 +0000 Angie 1344129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Derek is a&nbsp;new Comedy-Drama by Ricky Gervais. He created it, wrote it, directs it and stars in it. I rate it amongst&nbsp;the best TV shows I've seen.&nbsp;I don’t know how something can be soooo incredibly sad and very funny at the same time. It is GENIUS.</p> <p><div><br /></div><div><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2616280/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2616280/</a><br /><div><br /></div><div>This is the story line:&nbsp;Derek - Ricky Gervais - is autistic, and the kindest person in the world. The comedy-drama is about an old age home that is struggling to survive (a very real situation), and how Britain has forgotten about old people. Derek works at the home and is a role model to everyone. Hannah, the manager of the home is as kind and they’re best friends. I am in tears every night watching this incredibly compelling show.&nbsp;</p> <p> </div><div>This is my favourite quote from the series so far, by Kev, one of the other characters, who is a complete looser :&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div><div><b><i>“Derek took the best shortcut you can, the only shortcut that’s good and the only shortcut that works. And that’s kindness.” - </i></b>Kev</div><div><br /></div><div>I highly recommend that you watch the eye-opening show.&nbsp;Each episode is 23 minutes.&nbsp;</div></div> </p>
