Ricky Gervais: SuperNature

Ricky Gervais: SuperNature Director: Ricky Gervais Netflix I haven’t found Ricky Gervais funny for a lot longer than I ever found him funny, something I explored when I made the wrong move of watching season three of After Life (I had mostly enjoyed the first two seasons, the first especially).
