It felt like season 2 had no where to go with how season 1 ended and yes, there wasn't much progress....but the message is all in the title "After Life" and in one of the last scenes with the woman and the man at the cemetery, the man says he can some up life in 3 words....'it goes on'.

Season 2 is just a reminder that things just don't get better overnight, even if things do get a little 'better'. It still showed the struggles, relapses etc while still getting better one day at a time.
The scene with the woman and man walking off in the cemetery hinting at a possible relationship between them highlighted how long progress can take with moving on in contrast to Tony being at the begining of not wanting to move on with his dead wife.

I thought season 2 was great with the message. It's about the struggles people with depression face. Nothing much was added to the 'story line' because I think that was his point....you just don't get better overnight so a lot of the same issues present in season 1 repeated in season 2.

I really enjoyed it, and yes Pat was excellent in the season.

That description of season 1 can be applied to season 2 also. Ricky Gervais gave season 1 a bow tie ending & felt he had fitted his messages just fine. So season 2 felt kind of pointless as one could view either season & do without watching the other & still get the same story with an alternate (but ultimately the same) ending.

Season 2 was good but really not necessary either. Ricky Gervais should have either ended season 1 on a down if there was always gonna be a season 2 or just left After Life as a 1 season series.

By saying all of that..season 2 was just as funny as season 1 though the postman & psychiatrist were pissers.

Also the fat kid James's character is apparently meant to be aimed at James Corden
