Derek is one of those series where you watch a couple of minutes and have a laugh, but then get bored quite easily.
The majority of Ricky Gervais's stuff I rate highly but Derek is bang-on average and not one to be memorable in the future. Karl Pilkington's character Dougie was probably the best character in the series, but they had to drop the character due to Karl's request which was bitterly disappointing. The comedy is also mixed up sometimes, especially due to the environment being an old-peoples home and the majority of the humour has sexual references which doesn't really match. This may surprise a few users.
However, lets get on with the positives. Some parts of the series are hilarious and really drag you in. I've shown this series to other family members and they find it much more enjoyable than myself, so obviously they rate it highly. Some moments are well written such as emotional moments or even bizarre moments such as sucking alcohol off the carpet, which is obviously great.
Overall, I would recommend you try this series out because I believe the majority of you won't mind it especially if you enjoy other Ricky Gervais material, but it's not really my cup of tea.
