Mortality is at its best when Gervais isn’t elaborating philosophies, but relaxing into conversational style, albeit a more foul-mouthed and impolite conversation than you might be used to.

It is mostly focused on comedy, but weighed down by a handful of unfocused, generally unfunny detours.

The brutal truth is that the farther he becomes removed from his classic works with Stephen Merchant, the less Gervais has to offer.

[Gervais'] jokes have become so bad that laughing at them seems like I am partaking in a charity event to help this old man feel relevant.

There is nothing more eminently mockable than virtue-signalling always-online faux-liberalism, but bringing up the most obviously ridiculous examples of it for an hour doesn’t necessarily constitute an act.

Ricky Gervais plays the roll of that loud drunk bore that sadly frequents your local pub. Jokes were infrequent. But the moaning disguised as poor political commentary were prevalent whilst slapping himself on the back.

My first Ricky comedy, intrigued by the Golden Globes award. Have to say I am tad disappointed, his content feels like lightweight ranting instead of hardworking-thinking. The accent is funny tho.

He used to be good. I don‘t know what happened, but this wasn‘t funny.

I was looking forward to a distasteful Ricky Gervais, the one I remember hosting the golden globes multiple times like a decade ago, and I got a serving of rubbish- the jokes sucked, nothing funny, noting groundbreaking. Next!

Yeah, didn’t really ever hit the mark, did it. This one was phoned in.
