That was an excellent one.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I have been catching up on old British shows this year and for the most part are extremely well written and acted, such as The Unit, Hustle, Merlin and spooks just to name a few. What they have in common is that they all have been canceled but for Merlin but it's in it's first season plenty of time to disappoint TV viewers.No offense to the British and their taste to TV shows but why this got canceled after 2 seasons 11 episodes in all I just can't fathom because this is a gem that sparked brightly. The only rational conclusion I can come up with is this was way too much show for the British mind . I say that because ghost whisperer which is yet to hit the UK stands a better chance than Afterlife only because it's basically the Disney version of Afterlife.This show need your full attention span where as Ghost whisperer you can talk and still get what it about Afterlife you miss a second and your lost. This is why I say its to much show for the attention span of the English, their used to soaps and comedies, sure so shows do well but they surely are as deep thinking as afterlife. To me this show is a 15 out of 10 and not 10 out of 10 as it is extremely well written. If people don't like this show it's only because they don't understand it and should stick to shows like Paris Hilton my new BFF

I think what really lingers after watching "Afterlife"'s first episode is how realistic it is. That life cannot be summed up so simply that the dead seek either to help or be helped. In this we find sometimes the areas of gray go against what we believe is ethically in our own moral sense of responsibility.But, that does not make them any less real. In fact it makes us look out from beyond a sense of comfort and safety, to seek a deeper understanding of what we have experienced, and discover what is real.Episode one really hit me, like a ton of bricks and look forward to seeing episode two and the inner puzzles it gives me to unravel and decipher in this discovery of Spirit.Afterlife really feels a sense of spirit, and though I like the American show Medium, this show seems to really have it's finger on the pulse of this issue in a way that gratifies a sense of exploration more so then the latter.

I just finished watching most of the Afterlife made for TV series, season 1&2. The series had me from the first show and I wanted to say thank you. I wasn't sure what to expect from the title, "Afterlife." There has been only a few good drama/phenomenon series that I can recall that has the same good mix of characters like this; One being X-Files and the other Medium.Did this UK TV series make it over to Canada or is it in syndication? It's too bad that there is only 2 seasons of the show. Maybe, the producers can make the sets available in CD box set here in Canada?It would be a good addition to the Drama or phenomenon collection.

I've been sitting on this show for a while now, but finally got round to start watching it at the weekend. I must say, I was expecting a copycat of the US' 'Medium'. In some ways it is. Well in as far as the main character is a Medium anyway.It definitely has that British or BBC feel about it. A much earthier, "realistic" presentation than 'Medium'.I should say though that this was a full season (series). 6 episodes is the usual outing for a UK show. They do occasionally stretch beyond this, but only occasionally. I find it quite strange that Australia gets some of our shows before we do. That's two now, that I know of.I do hope that ITV order another season of this stellar little show, although maybe a couple of episodes longer.4.5/5
