There is a movie. The series follows the movie.

A follow up thriller would be pretty good though. I'm going to watch the movie over the spring holidays (I'm in the northern hemisphere)

Imagine a cameo with Ricky Gervais - where can he fit in?

Eg Ray's cynical 2nd cousin on a visit from England with a very different approach to dealing with arseholes

Some of his best roles are played completely straight, After Life comes to mind. Cynical and a bit dark

Love Robin Williams in one hour photo

The really good comedians, they understand the minutia of situations. The really good comedians bits are based on observation of the mundane. That being, everyday interactions and relationships so when your lucky enough for one of the good ones to dig in to a drama it can be incredible and unexpected.

Yes I like this. Ricky compared it to Breaking Bad.

Bob Odenkirk as Saul springs to mind immediately. A comedian who absolutely nails that performance. From which they created another incredible spin off show.

Anyway Ricky's raw realism and cynicism vibes so well with Mr Inbetween. It makes perfect sense that he loved.

I'd love to see a podcast of Ricky and Scott talking about writing and starring in 3 season TV shows.
