I highly recommend "After Life."

It's a short Netflix show staring Ricky Gervais. I find him hot and cold. In this show, he plays a small town newspaper writer who recently lost his wife. He's bitter and suicidal and will say anything to anyone. He's so caustic, I almost quit watching after the first episode. But I'm glad I stuck with it. He slowly comes around and learns to start living again. Gervais wrote and directed the show, and I think it shows that he's matured quite a bit. There are some laugh-out-loud bits, especially when he's covering some truly inane stories. This was an unexpected treat. I don't watch many tv shows, but this was well worth it. And I especially like the fact that it's only one season. One and done!
