Anne's Most Powerful Moments In After Life | Netflix

While Tony is no longer quite so aggressively grouchy about life, he continues to struggle to fill the void left behind by his late wife.

The exchange of truths between Anna and Tony is a gift to all of us.

How Penelope Wilton wasn't nominated for awards for this performance, I will never understand. She had to create a character just sitting on that bench for almost everyone of her scenes, where the focus is on Tony. And my god, she made it look easy.

"Science makes us understand how to stay alive longer, feelings gives us the reasons to want to." What an amazing expression this is, how to hold tightly to life and have hope to live.

"If you want to be an angel you've got to do it when you're alive."

[Janinho]

The chats the two had on the bench were in all honesty the highlight of the show for me.

Those chats on the bench are the most poignant, heartfelt, happy and sad interactions I think I have ever seen in any program I have watched. Brilliant acting and writing!!

Penelope Wilton is an amazing actress. Sublime acting between her and Gervais. 👌

Just a beautiful show.
My wife is a nurse, she works tirelessly in emergency, she's my angel.

We don’t talk about death and loss enough in our culture. It is a part of life. This was a real gift from Ricky. Just when you think you know a guy through his comedy he throws us a curve ball. I do like his comedy, but this series runs deeper and addresses important junctures we have along our journey.

Love Penelope Wilton and, now, I like Ricky. What wise words to remember, as well.

I undestand the sentiment. "I want you to live, not just exist, waiting for your own turn".

But I now know that its not that simple.

I never wore my heart on my sleeve. My upbringing saw to that. And when I met my wife, my love to her was more than any emotion I ever had. She didnt just make me a hundred percent more. But exponentially more than I ever was. As a brother, father and man.

When she died, I burned to a cinder. All of my interests, hobbies, and likes in life were turned to ash. Just as much as I loved her, I now grieve. I have no "wants" left in life. I have only "Musts". I must stay alive for my sons. I must stay alive to see them get good lives and support them. But there is nothing left for me. Not a day goes by where I dont want to just end it, and get a spot next to her. I can't ofcourse. But its the only "want" I have left. A hole in the ground next to my wife.

Everyone insists I "must get better". I "must move on". "She would have wanted that". The two former are impossible, and the latter I realize for full well. But when I gave my word: "Till death do you part" I ment it. With every fiber of my being. And that promise doesn't end untill I am dead. She would think me a bloody fool, but I gave my word, to the only woman I ever really loved.

Its not that I cant see a woman is aesthetically pretty, or intellectually interesting. But they just dont come even remotely close to what I had.

So, while I know some can move on, some can love again, I just dont see it in the cards for me. Besides, asking a woman to live up to the standards of a dead woman, is not only unfair, and not something to build a relationship on, its neigh impossible.

Some things in life, you just do not move on from. Some falls, where you just dont rise, or if you do rise, you rise as an entirely different person.

I am not the man I used to be. I am a corpse, parading around with a mask, to keep everyone around me happy, waiting desperately for time to pass.

It’s all about hope!’ That’s it ! Anne is his angel ! Their relationship is so good, love this series and special scenes like these

[stagger]

Wonderful how the characters in the series have the beautiful human side ❤️

When i watched afterlife i wondered for a long time whether Anne was actually an angel. Initially she was always around to speak to Tony and you never seen her interact with anyone else. Either way, she is still an angel. Most beautiful character in the programme

[sapphiiee]

A part of me feels like this monologue was spoken to me. This was perfect ❤

[arsenalrimo]

This series is beautiful in every possible way.

[bensanderson]

I know this is only a program but these two and there talking feels so real and hits different

[ThePandaWarrior]

Anne was the best part of the series ❤

[tanseygreen]

Penelope is a great actor and a real corker in her earlier years still lovely today

[Cheeky_God]

i wish this show had more seasons its one of the best shows ive watched
