Prioritize:
The second episode kept up the streak of quality and humor from the first one, making it another enjoyable ride. I particularly like how Ricky Gervais subtly infuses humanity into the plot but doesn't make it too in-your-face. The perfect yet marginal characters like the postman and the psychiatrist added a nice touch, but what really got me was the battle of wills with the restaurant staff. / Lesson learned: Some people just don't understand that there can be joy in depression.
