more of a drama than a comedy, although there are some decidedly funny parts of every episode. It's about a nursing home and the characters that work/live there.

it's Gervais, and therefore a British show, so you have to somewhat be in tune with his style of comedy, but there are also a lot of dramatic overtones, and few fairly sad, heartstring moments as well. But overall, it's a very uplifting show, you kinda feel good about life at the end of every episode.

it's difficult to describe as it doesnt fit any sort of typical mold for a show that you've seen

Just finished the series. Only complaint is there wasnt enough. Haha. Absolutely brilliantly written and acted i though. Love seeing Ricky do dramatic. He really does it well. The end of the office & extras obviously come to mind. Good mix of comedy and drama i thought. Pilkington was really impressive to me as well, and they seem to always find great female leads for his shows. Was really pleased with this series and i had sky high expectations going in. Was it exactly what i thought itd be? No. Is that a bad thing? Not even remotely. That last episode was phenomenal.
