After Life's "Tony" is Rick Gervais' Worst Character

This article analyzes the character Tony from Ricky Gervais' show "After Life," arguing that he is Gervais' worst creation due to his self-centeredness and inconsistent character development. The author contrasts "After Life" with Gervais' earlier works like "The Office" and "Extras," noting a perceived decline in quality and a disconnect from reality, particularly without Stephen Merchant's creative input.
