Watch After Life | Netflix Official Site

I think the beauty of the show lies in the lessons it tries to teach you. We learn through Tony that although life might be a rats' nest of misery, we can still help others. We can strive to do our bit, for the simple reason that others feel better because of it, and that feeling alone is powerful.

Tony suffers so much, and is sarcastic almost always. However, it's really this that allows him to connect with people. He's not just using humour as a shield to deflect any emotions. In the beginning he is, but we start seeing how humour can be used to cope, to actually deal with our issues. It gives us a different way to view the world, one not only tainted by malevolence and pain. It is so simple, yet so joyous to watch Tony share a laugh about something that actually hurts him so much.
