What Culture

So far the series seems to be a very sweet, beautifully realised little drama with the odd bit of humour--this is not some backhanded compliment, if anything its real praise.

The drawback of Derek is not that it is cruel about disability but that it is often soft on a character whose identity remains too vague.

That talent could still be in there. But Ricky Gervais won't rediscover it until he puts down that giant foam mallet and picks up a pen.

Derek... swiftly tracks a course from sweet to cloying to sugar coma.

It is unfortunately very dull indeed to watch all this niceness.

Derek is an intriguing proposition without question, but...at present it feels like half a great idea.

While the format may seem a bit too familiar, the character of Derek is a breath of fresh air from the egotistical, often obnoxious leads of past projects and it's his sunny charm that really sucks you to into the show.

I felt myself not so much cringe as physically recoil.

Oddly, in fact, it's Derek's redeeming qualities that are the hardest to take - a sense of self-congratulation at the refinement of its own sentiments that has a little bit of the bully in it too.

Gervais is perfectly earnest in what he's set out to do with "Derek," and his heart is in the right place, but in trying to do right by these characters he ends up in danger of condescending to both them and the audience.

With its own take on awkward pauses, misapprehensions and failed humor, Derek is actually just Gervais' latest angle on square pegs in a round-hole world.

Some schools of criticism hold that an author's intentions are as unimportant as his biography. In this case, smart viewers will just let themselves enjoy the lumps in their throats and the tears in their eyes.
