    First season of After Life by Ricky Gervais.

    The scene after where Gervais’ character realizes fully what he has done, especially to himself long term, is soul crushing. The i did the right thing, but for all of the right and wrong reasons look on his face is haunting. I think it is the 2nd episode.

    A lot of the episodes open with him watching his wife telling him to enjoy life. Her sitting on the hospital bed, on her final days because of cancer.

      I hated gervais before this, i found his comedy delivery and style very grating but after watching this shoe and getting kicked in the guts every couple episodes i gave him another shot and dont mind him so much now. Show is a 10/10 if you want to sob silently with your partner.

        He can be eyerollingly obnoxious. And he is becoming more and more out of touch.

        He tends to have a heart and in the right place. His XFM auditions were the greatest proof of this.

    The original Fresh Prince when Will is desperately trying to convince himself he doesn’t need his dad. Every time.

    The scene in Interstellar when he returns from the time dilation to watch like 40 years of updates he missed from his kids.

    “where do you think we are?”

    The context is what makes this powerful. The buildup, the misdirection, the reveal.

    This was Scrubs at its best. McGinley should have won an Emmy right there.

    The last 15 minutes of “The Return of The King,” starting with, “My friends… You bow to no one.”

    Every. Damn. Time.
