four-wheel-drive Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think he is a very clever man the way that he plays Derek he is totally believable funny but not putting disabled people down in fact the whole cast are very good.

Mungler Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I couldn't get past the first episode. I just didn't find it funny. It may have got hilarious after the 1st episode mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ME Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I couldn't get past the first episode. I just didn't find it funny. It may have got hilarious after the 1st episode mind you. Same here. I enjoyed The Office and Extras but all the rest has been cack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ME Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 The Office was great. Anyone who says that they didn't like it have never worked in an office. I have worked with all the characters from it in the past. I actually wanted to like "Derek" but I thought it was rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilR Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I agree with ME. The Office replicated real working life. Derek for me was an absymal fail. Edited March 8, 2013 by PhilR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Ricky Gervais isn't funny. Never has been, probably never will be. Just my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miniross Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) See I haven't liked much of what Ricky has done in the past other than his stand ups cos there different to anything else and idiot abroad all be it mainly Karl pilkington however Derek has been a fantastic series made me laugh and cry the last episode was a real testament to hope good a guy Derek was Any one who thinks he's taking the **** out of disabled people are sadly mistaken if anything he highlights the best parts of disabled people they may act different and look different but they still have a heart and a personality that rivals the best off us. Good work Ricky Edited March 8, 2013 by miniross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDFrain Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Very bizarre show i thought, some funny points in the series but then some very boring bits, must say i wont be missing it. JDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Kelly Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I've not like much of Ricky Gervais' previous stuff, too cringing and painful to really find funny, but I really enjoyed Derek. I wouldn't have watched it normally, but my fishing buddy's daughter, Kerry, had a leading role in it, so I was intrigued to see how she did. I also loved the idiot abroad series, but not the bits with Gervais in. Carl Pilkington is very watchable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parapilot Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Iv not bothered watching it. Enjoyed idiot abroad but thought they are trying to hard making him into an actor / funny character, just does not work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
