Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

lhb000 I don't think I have ever seen a show or film that mixes humor, wisdom and tragedy in anything like these proportionsIt simply never hits a wrong note and when it rises to its highest highs only the greatest of the best TV is in the same league (i.e. The Wire, Breaking Bad). Many thanks to Ricky Gervais and all the series' fantastic supporting actors and actresses. I truly feel like a better person both morally and spiritually for having watched it about 20 times!In speaking about one's ability to forgive and make amends when "Derek" says "It's never too late, until it is" during the last episode of Season 2 I seriously lose it every time.Very highest recommendation!

woodburycaleb In Derek, the acting is phenomenal, the story is phenomenal, and the characters are...do I need to finish that sentence? It'll make you laugh, and ACTUALLY make you cry. This show is an original (not just a Netflix original). When I first saw a trailer for this, it appeared to me that it was going to be a dumb sitcom that uses a mentally handicapped main-character for cheap laughs. I couldn't be more wrong, the character's are interesting, unique, likable (usually) and very real. The structure and style alone make this TV show unlike any other. I'm shocked that this show actually has a rating below 9 stars, the first four episodes I've seen have been perfect. Derek isn't good, it's not great, it's marvelous.

georgeparrish14 Derek is about a man played by Ricky gervais who works in a nursing home along with Hannah and Dougie and he has a best mate called Kev who is so so funny, you will roll on the floor laughing!!:) When you see it don't think Gervais is playing a handicapped person because he isn't in my eyes or Gervais' eyes, think that he is playing a person who is too kind for his own good.When I rate shows and films on IMDb I rate them on what I think they should be rated, so thats why I have given Derek a 9 and not a 10. This show is hilarious, extremely sad in some parts like S1 ep6 and S2 ep5, if you do not cry or get emotional in these episodes you are not right in the head sorry to say!!;) I would recommend this to anyone who is a Ricky Gervais fan, I am getting into The Office but Derek I have to say is much better at the moment, but my mum said that the office is very slow and it takes time for you to get into the characters.Derek=9/10 from me!!!!

loveable_p_chan This is one of the most sophisticated, deep, and emotional series ever made. It bittersweet and always brings out the light in the darkness that is life. It takes on heavy subjects and leaves you wanting to become a better person. Not too many shows I can think of affect lives like this. If you think you will like it, watch, if you think you will hate it, watch at least the first two episodes before you criticize it. If it leaves you with nothing, then fair enough, but I promise it will.It's only flaw is that there isn't enough episodes to satisfy avid fans.Ricky, you are an amazing writer and producer, and you made me want to be a better person.
