It's not shown on TV here in the UK but I've downloaded and watched the show that aired on HBO a few days ago and one thing I will say is: Gervais and Merchant are genius. The show is amazing, this isn't a review (check AllGervais.com in about a week

) but I will say that from making me laugh to the point where I'm close to tears, to making me hold back the tears in other scenes, the writing and acting is nothing less then amazing but without giving anything away, is does seem to take you on a depressing ride with little lift to end it all. I feel drained and it's clear the opinions of Gervais were hammered home to us, I'm bruised.
Have you seen the show, if so what did you think?
Otherwise, if you are in the UK, watch it BBC1 9pm next Thursday
