First two seasons: delightfully triggering, unsettling, tremendously funny. Although I would not recommend watching them directly after watching any Gervais' stand up shows. He does use his favourite pieces in the show. The main character Tony basically is Gervais, if he'd been end up in a dead end job as a small town journalist, with his wife taken from him from an illness. But nevertheless, I did enjoy the first seasons a lot.
The third one is mainly just... depressing. And the end game? The show does not say it too directly, but what is that? He kills himself? Why else would he just disappear, not actually connecting with other, living, characters, in the end? Follows his wife, is that it? Takes comfort with the autumn of his life and does not get together with anyone else than his wife, ever?
