I don't mind Joe Wilkinson's character much (I mean come on, postman pat? that's golden!) but I do find him somewhat tiring on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown.

I hate, hate kev. that character (and the one he plays in "afterlife") in my mind, has no purpose other than to make you cringe and/or provide shock value. and while I like Gervais having a character like that seems right up his alley. it's like he can't be that repulsive himself so finds someone else to do it in place of him.

he was Kev in Derek, in afterlife he was Brian. he's the one with the greasy looking, dark brown hair and glasses. in the first season he was the guy with the creepy puppet show thing.

I just watch E5 (I believe it was 5) and recognized the BIL from Afterlife as the autograph store guy. Was Karl Pilkington (Dougie) in Afterlife?

We just finished the second season of After Life. Having seen two seasons it's hard to say it's a comedy, but it is a really good show. Highly recommended.

I would not say it's a comedy, it has some comedic characters but it's all about grief

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the psychiatrist was completely over the top and nearly ruined the entire show. The wife and I have enjoyed these two seasons very much, but at some point there's going to have to be a breakthrough, because I'm not sure how long the public will want to watch a show where the protagonist is continually depressed (realistic as it may be).

Depression and grief are two different things..
