Brilliant role by Ricky Gervais. Derek is not necessarily a very funny series, but is especially very sympathetic. Characters like Kev provide the necessary bland humor, while Hannah and Derek themselves bring the humor in a much more subtle way.
For those who like British humor and Ricky Gervais, this is definitely recommended. If you're expecting a hilarious sitcom, it's better to skip this one.

Incredibly sympathetic series that evokes different emotions. Ricky Gervais as Derek is hilarious at times, while the last episode is quite emotional and tragic. Derek finds himself in quite a motley crew. The other characters, which are nice and stereotypical, also bring a smile to the face. The format with the short episodes of about twenty minutes works fine.

Beautiful series. In the beginning it takes some getting used to the role of Gervais - it seems a bit played out - but after that it is convincing. Nice other characters and overall Derek is a successful mix of comedy/drama. Now and then the jokes and situations are a bit too 'acted', but for the most part it is spot on.
Especially the episode with the funeral and the reunion with his father is good. Very moving and beautifully edited (both images/interviews and music by Coldplay in the background that occasionally swells). A beautiful ending, which actually makes season 2 a bit redundant.
The British can do that very well, such a mix of drama and comedy. Reminded me of a special episode of The Royle Family, which also strikes the right chord (but I don't believe that series is on TV meter yet).
