      Yeah- we are still safe here, but it is getting a bit serious now. The Lawless name is spread everywhere around the globe I guess, but it is not that common nonetheless. Our branch started with my great-great grandfather who was born in County Meath in 1814 and transported to Australia as a convict in 1831. He married in 1842 after he received a ‘ticket of leave’, and had fifteen children. We spread out from there and we are a fairly large clan over here now. So I do have some Irish blood swimming around somewhere.

      I realised watching this that this was my mum in her last years before Alzheimers set in. I'd go round for Sunday lunch and always had to get away soon after. She would always offer me another coffee and/or biscuit; could she show me something in her garden, etc but I'd always have to go... when in truth I often didn't.
      Eventually I gave up work and everything to look after her full time but by then it was too late. She was too far gone for us to enjoy many things together.
      If only I could have those Sundays again I would clear my whole day when possible and go round early in the morning, help her in the garden or round the house and stay for supper as well.

      @@Wankle. No, it’s perhaps a far larger percentage than one might think. Perhaps a lot of the people with that (my) opinion are early day fans of XFM and Gervais etc, or people who don’t like such broad comedy. It seems to be quite a general consensus too, IMO, that Afterlife is a bit lazy with the constant crying and playing to the heart strings in every single episode. It’s very accessible to all, but I think that’s what detracts from any brilliance. Sure it has some fantastic moments, and I’m certainly not a comedy snob, but it’s very formulaic and ‘safe’.

She survived and has been moved to a nursing home for end of life care, going into a home was the one thing she loathed and never wanted. She is profoundly deaf and is now suffering from Alzheimer's and it is the latter that this programme in season one helped me with, not just coping with this illness but understanding it as well.

    I wasn't expecting to be in tears by the end of that. That lady at the end was so sweet. And so sad. So lonely.
    It makes you realise that we have one chance to appreciate those who care for you during our one life. It shouldn't be wasted because although we all disagree with our parents at some point, imagine the silent life if they weren't in it. That's why I'm going to be more patient from now on.
    If you do fall out with your family, don't say anything that can't be unsaid. And even if you're annoyed, try to make peace. Because you don't want to leave it too late.
    There's no righteousness in being stubborn.

      Very sage words, Mike. 🙏
      My father died suddenly in May of last year, and we'd not talked to one another for over a year, prior. He was a difficult man to know and I harder one to love but I still have my regrets, and I very much identify with what you've written.
      And don't even go there with Mike & the Mechanic's The Living Years. I always wondered if that song would come back to haunt me. And they do.

    Gervais is a natural born genius. He simply translates every day struggles into a kind or self absorbing irony.
    The absurd positive to be taken away from a show based on human tragedy is that all of us can not only relate to it - we are in many ways a part of it.
    Absolutely brilliant.
