This video reaction to After Life S3E1 explores how authentic human relationships involve imperfection, vulnerability, and the struggle to balance honesty with emotional needs. The hosts discuss how characters like Tony and Emma navigate complex emotional terrain, with Tony's grumpiness and emotional distance serving as a realistic portrayal of how people sometimes struggle to express their true feelings. The reaction highlights that genuine human connections require accepting that people are not always perfect, that emotions can be irrational, and that sometimes people need space to process their feelings. The hosts emphasize that the show's strength lies in its honest depiction of human nature, where characters don't always behave logically or perfectly, making the emotional journey feel more real and relatable to viewers.

Tony Pushes Emma Away AGAIN! π» Americans React to After Life S3E1Added:
Hey friends, Mike and Jess here. And welcome to Regeneration Nation TV. Just a little bit of a bittersweet moment for us. We are about to react to After Life.
We're on series 3, which means we have started the last and final series of After Life. And I am just I don't know how to deal with it. I don't like it at all.
>> We're going to need counseling after this.
>> Yeah, I am. I think I am. We're going to have some postpartum.
All right.
You get that from TV shows sometimes?
Okay, sure.
>> Create it's going to create a void in my life that will never be filled.
>> Never. Maybe. Maybe. But I don't think it's Yeah, I'm just uh yeah, I'm I'm looking forward to this series, but I'm just like not looking forward to it cuz it's almost over.
It's been a fun ride.
We've still got a whole series to go, okay?
>> We're only a third of what 2/3 of the way over. Yeah. Okay, the large chunk left when you really think about it.
>> half full. Glass half >> a lot a lot to go.
So, with that, we've got links down below where you can get your hands on this great show.
Let's finish this thing off.
Let's start the journey to finishing it off.
This isn't the the end.
They do make it look easy, don't they, on the telly? On the Olympics.
>> Yeah. Yeah, I don't think you'll make it this year.
>> No? No.
Oh god. Oh my god. Yeah. She's going around.
They're not. People are looking at me and going, "Aw."
No, they're looking at me and going, "Aw." No, they're going, "Aw, look at him. He's trying to help her." He's not trying to help her.
LAUGHING AT HER AND FILMING HER.
That's not helping.
Oh. Hi. Hi. Woah.
was creeping a little bit.
>> passed.
>> Mhm. I did notice her hair is different, definitely, but she definitely was creeping on his laptop, and she's at his house, though. So, there's definitely been time that has passed.
A lot. A lot. Man, that's crazy.
I hope she's not like just driving herself nuts over this woman. I mean, it's a lot. I don't think I could do that where I'm taking I don't know. Feeling like I'm taking the place of that.
>> Yeah. I was not expecting it to start up like that.
>> Yeah.
Hi. Hi. The back door was open, so I just Good. Hungry? Yes. Where do you want to go? I don't know. Somewhere quick. Got to be at work at 10:00. Okay.
Do you want to go rowing sometime?
Rowing? Yes. Just for a for a laugh on the boating pond.
Boating pond? Why?
I don't know. Just thought it might be something you might quite like to do.
Hm. Not really.
See you later.
Come on. Oh, that was silly. That was so silly of you.
Yikes.
It's exactly what I was hoping she wasn't doing. Yeah.
But she's still a human being.
Dude, she's such a people pleaser just like you. That's exactly what you would do in that situation.
>> Yeah.
But it's a little bit of like a deceptive thing, though, because he's going to open his laptop, and that's going to be the last thing that was on it, and he's going to see that video and be like, she saw this.
>> Well, for sure, yeah, cuz it's a TV show. But in real life maybe it wouldn't happen like that.
>> Yeah, maybe. Gosh, she just wants to make him happy so much that she's willing to put herself through hell.
That's terrible.
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river.
Too many lonely souls out to sea.
You lay your bets and then you pay the price. The things we do for love. The things we do for love.
Not even a kiss or a goodbye?
The weather's turned and all the lights are down. The things we do for love.
The things we do for love. I love that.
Like walking in the rain and the snow when there's nowhere to go. Postman Pat, I know this guy's. I'm sorry. I know it.
That's too good, man.
>> weirdly awesome friendship they've created.
Things we do for love.
Started with her. Ain't it true?
You ready? Oh, hold on.
You all right?
What? You sit down. What?
What kind of greeting is that? Hello.
What? Do you want to come over later?
Well, I haven't even finished.
To the house for some dinner. You could bring Emma. You know, do a foursome with me.
Yeah, but me and Emma are a twosome.
That's fine. I just mean there'll be four of us. Right.
Well, I'll bring Brian then if it's purely mathematical.
>> god, nothing is simple with you, is it?
Just bring your nice platonic friend, Emma. We'll have a nice grown-up time.
I'll be honest, it'd be good for us.
Me and Jill.
It's fun having people over, isn't it?
And we don't get out much. And well, I think that was part of the problem with the little hiccup in our marriage. What? Not having people over?
No, you know what I mean. No.
Okay, get this, yeah?
Jill thinks I'm not very adventurous.
Can you believe that?
>> Yeah.
But seriously. Yeah.
It's ridiculous.
I've got two cagoules.
Why would I need those if I wasn't very adventurous? Or you could say, how adventurous is a man who two cagoules?
What's a cagoule?
Two cagoules?
Doesn't like getting his hair wet. I've just been looking at camping gear. Wow.
>> I'm probably going to buy those boots.
Come on, come over.
>> Slow down.
>> Please.
Help me prove her wrong.
I feel a bit misunderstood. Go on, Oprah.
Is there any way you can prove her wrong without me being involved?
>> It's not a big deal. You don't even have to stay long. Just you and Emma come over. We'll have some fun. Done.
Do you have to warn Jill? No, it's spontaneous.
I mean, I will call her now and tell her.
Otherwise, she'll get in a bit of a tiz.
She'll want to get ready. And we don't need to do a big sit-down meal. In fact, eat before you come.
And then we'll just, you know, have some drinks, put on some tracks, have a few laughs.
There'll be no laughter.
7:30? I'm usually on my second bottle of wine by then.
>> Okay, perfect. You can drink around my place. Right. Yeah? Okay. Great.
>> If Emma's up for it.
Oh.
>> Thank you.
There'll be no laughter. [Β __Β ] hell. I can hear you. I know.
I I will hopefully they reveal why he's so damn grumpy right now, cuz where we left him off he should be a little bit more happy. And then seeing where he's at this morning, what is up with you, dude? Come on. Come on.
On the office door.
>> Feel bad probably.
Oh, [Β __Β ] Did I already?
I mean maybe maybe he realizes why she said that instantly and just got really annoyed by it and was like, "What the hell, man?"
>> Maybe.
I don't know. He's a little too angry.
And I'm an angry dude when I wake up.
>> Mhm. He's too angry. He's being a [Β __Β ] to everybody right now.
It's had a pretty good morning start to Tuesday, I thought. How's it going with your friend, Tony? Mhm. Well, exactly that. Really, we're just friends.
And that's a bit tense at times, to be honest.
Tony, we haven't even taken a selfie together.
Oh.
Well, he must be mad not to pay you more attention.
All right.
I thought it would be nice to document my 50th novel. 50? Wow.
>> Dude, I'm I thought they had like been dating and like she was in his house that morning. I assumed wrongly that they'd probably maybe hooked up once or twice.
>> Yeah. No.
>> Nope. Not at all. She even did her a new hairstyle for him.
>> Mhm.
Yeah.
>> Daphne walks into his house all the time. They're platonic. They're just friends.
Yeah.
That's like such a rarity with one woman to have it with two is crazy. That's crazy. Not sleeping with either one of them.
What is going on?
I thought it would be nice to document my 50th novel. 50? Wow. How long have you been writing? Oh, been writing all my life, dear. It's all I've ever wanted to do.
Wrote my first published novel when I was 15 and I've written at least one a year ever since. Wow. Who is your publisher?
Self-published, dear. I designed the cover and everything. It's very professional.
Not in a Not in a money-making sense. I've actually lost money, but you know, it's a passion, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, I've got to leave something behind. I never married or had children or anything, so, you know.
How do you make your money, though?
Well, I'm a medium. Right. I read people's auras or palms or crystal balls, tea leaves, anything.
But this is my passion, novels. And they're all about one person, aren't they? Yes. Dr. Barnaby Love, M.D.
I combined medical drama with erotic fiction.
Dr. Barnaby Love, M.D. in Two in a Death Bed. Why is it Dr. Barnaby Love, M.D. in Two in a Death Bed? Well, I always hoped it'd be picked up as a long-running series, like Columbo, you know.
But sadly, not.
And then, my first choice back in the day was Roger Moore, but nowadays, it will probably be someone like George Clooney. I mean, he's played a doctor, hasn't he? He'd know what he was doing.
He knows more than me. You haven't had any medical training. No.
How do you get all the technical stuff right? Uh, I just pick things up.
Sure.
Would you like to read a little bit from my latest one? Yes, please. Yeah. I was about to say, there's probably a bunch of women that would be super into this, the premise anyway.
>> Uh, Grey's Anatomy, freaking What was What ER? Isn't that what George Clooney was in? I don't remember that.
>> Yeah, but this is a bit of a different twist on it.
Would you like me to read a little bit from my latest one?
Yeah.
Open wide.
Oh, not my best. Feel a fat bit. Let's have a look. Oh, here's a good bit. So, Dr. Barnaby is operating on someone that all the top surgeons in the world said could not be saved, but Dr. Barnaby disagrees. Okay.
Nurse Stacy mopped his brow.
Is that better, doctor?
Their eyes meet over the top of the masks you have to wear in operating theaters.
Please, call me Barnaby.
She blushes.
Okay, we're going in. He injects the medicine into the patient's main artery.
That should do the trick, said Barnaby.
Okay, stitch him up, nurse. Dinner later? Oh, yes, please, she said. See you at 8.
Well, Does he live?
Well then, patient.
No, I didn't say. I didn't bother with that.
I'm sure he's fine if they got the medicine into the main artery. Exactly.
One of the top surgeons around the world didn't think of that. Yeah, Dr. Barnaby's special, isn't he?
Best in the world.
And a Randy Burger, too, which never hurts.
Good. Take a picture. Yeah.
Smile.
Great.
With this piece >> In next week's paper, dear? Yep. Would you be able to mention that I'm doing a live reading and a and a book signing at the Tenbury Fair? Sure.
Good. And And do bring your wife along.
It's mostly for women. I uh I don't have a wife. Oh, gay? Even better. Not gay.
Just I uh I lost my wife.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Would you like to contact her? With all my heart.
Okay, well, >> No, I mean, I I don't So, I don't believe in all that, but thank you.
This is for you.
Open wide, though. I mean, in this context, It got very awkward, very quick. Oh my gosh.
I didn't know really what I wanted to happen right there. I didn't either, but I knew that he doesn't believe in that kind of stuff, so I knew that he wouldn't say yes to it, but I just I know that.
>> I, but at the beginning I was like, this lady seems like chill, >> she starts like I'd get my whatever read by her. Yeah, I don't know.
>> Sure.
Why not? But by the end I'm like yeah, probably not.
Probably not. But then when she offered for him like I don't I want to miss the next one.
Yeah, it's not going to be yeah.
>> This for you.
I'll say, said Dr. Barnaby.
Think you better check my pulse, nurse.
It's not sweet, really. Sort of old-fashioned and hopeful. And she's a fortune teller, too.
She said she is, yeah. Why would she lie?
Cuz it's impossible. Nothing's impossible. I'm out.
Just cuz you haven't seen something doesn't mean it isn't real. What if no one's seen it?
Could be invisible.
Yeah. Could I visit her, you know, to investigate it?
If you want. I'd go in with an open mind.
You know, if you go in thinking it isn't real, then you'll never believe.
>> Should I arrange that, then?
Yeah. Yeah, I play Now I wish I was covering the story.
Oh, here he is.
Told you to wait outside.
Give me a lift to your meeting.
We're not an item, obviously. I just like turning up in a Rolls-Royce. He knows that, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, works out well.
Oh. What's in it for you, Colin?
>> People think he's got a girlfriend.
But he knows that can never be the case.
Shame.
What with the Rolls-Royce and him being a self-made millionaire, and a nice bloke, would have been perfect, not for the obvious.
What? The face.
Duh.
Yeah. Oh my god. Even my mom calls me the ugly one.
You're okay with that, Colin? This poor bastard. Imagine being cast in this role.
>> Yeah, both ways, real life and in this show, right now, in this moment. He's being freaking They didn't even put a prosthetic on like a good-looking dude and make him ugly. They got like an actual guy. This is so messed up. I can't believe it.
>> It's the face. Even my mom calls me the ugly one.
You're okay with that, Colin?
It's heartbreaking. I'm destroyed. I used to wish I was dead growing up.
What can you do?
Well, you're a million And that's why I want everyone to know he's not my boyfriend. Change your face?
Can you do that? Maybe you should wear a chef's hat.
Or a chef's mask. She fancied him for a bit, didn't she? She did, Colin. She did. She's obviously got a type.
Anyway, come on. We'll be late.
Wow. Come on.
Like a dog.
Could you get back to work, please? Nah, why? It's not worth it. Okay, please.
Come on. We've wasted enough time.
>> No way.
I would never want to be his boss.
Jolly.
>> want to be his boss. Oh my god.
>> That is horrible. Absolutely horrible.
Not worth it.
All those trees are beautiful.
Are those cherry blossoms? Like a cherry blossom. I don't know. Beautiful. Yeah, it's a new one. I'm not a tree.
>> Finding a maggot in your apple. Damn.
Finding your ex-wife in Safeway's car park. Getting gangbanged by some Dutch lorry drivers.
Yeah.
Finding a maggot in your apple's nothing after that, boy. Trust me.
Anyway, I'm going to start taking my comedy a little bit more seriously.
Life has kicked the [Β __Β ] out of me in recent years.
But, I've reached rock bottom. So, the only way is up, isn't it? Yeah. And as for me, like Ken's getting me a couple of auditions here and there, like small bits and stuff like that, you know.
[Β __Β ] What? I can't believe it.
Is that >> Mickey the Gypsy.

Absolutely psycho.
Mind you, I've seen her bottle a traffic warden. All right.
You do the mathematics.
Aw. Yeah.

Yeah.
James, this is Mickey.
And this is my ex-wife, Elizabeth.

All right. Horrible. Still together, then? Oh, no, not at all. Yeah.
She was shagging Spanner Head for a while.
You called us out, didn't you? Didn't you?
Awkward.
Is he all right?
It wasn't awkward.
It gave me the excuse to smash the granny out of [Β __Β ] Bloodbath, wasn't it?
Proper mint.
It turned out quite well, then, really.
You know me.
I like to look at things in a positive way. Yeah, I know you do, mate. My problem is I just want to try and please everyone.
She's a slag, mate.
He knows.
You well, though?

Well, uh, squeeze past Elizabeth's hip.
Yeah. It's the one we all dread.
Classic. Aw.
Horrible.
Aw. That's how pathetic your best mate is, James. You are not pathetic, sir.
Proper loser.
Not compared to me, though. You're joking, aren't you? No.
You can sing, dance, play two recorders with your nose.
You can knit. You're great with wool.
You're great with wool.
If you're a loser, what chance the rest of us got? You're great with wool.

Cheers, mate.
Do you want to go out of tape?
See if there's any action. You betcha.
Yeah. I'm going to just swing by my agent's first though, if that's all right.
>> Come with you, boy? All right.
I love that they found each other, man.
>> They do. That's really sweet.
>> thought when this dude first showed up on screen that I would get that invested >> Yeah. to where there was a scene with him and I just wanted to jump in and help him out.
Aw.
Aw.
>> friends though. That's really That was really sweet though. He's like, "Help this."
Aw.
That's sad.
>> Got me.
>> sweet.
All right.
Yes.
I was just saying to Stan you'd be along soon.
All right. Good day at work?
Yep.
You still talk to him?
Every day.
Not just here, everywhere.
I don't get funny looks at home though.
It really helps.
Saying it out loud, I mean.
You hear yourself.
Yeah.
I'm never one for talking to myself, uh I'd probably argue.
You wouldn't be talking to yourself.
No.
I do feel like she's still here.
And it's like I'm in two minds.
One knows the truth.
She died.
Logical.
There's no heaven.
No reincarnation, no ghosts.
I know that.
But then I feel her inside me all the time.
Like she's still part of me.
Guiding me.
Ah, it's weird.
That's because you're human.
And nothing really makes sense.
Look at you, Kierkegaard.
It's okay to have feelings, you know.
Things that aren't logical.
Science makes us understand how to stay alive longer.
Feelings give us the reason to want to.
Or not want to.
I was doing so well.
I'm fine.
Mhm.
They're so good at making those conversations so natural feeling. I feel like they just didn't have a script every time they sit down on that bench and they're just talking. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. They're just like, "Here's the premise of what we're going to talk about. Let's just boom. Let's just get there." Yeah.
Oh, man.
>> incredibly natural. It's beautiful to watch them talk to each other.
It is that that feeling of just Yeah, I feel I feel my dad's still around sometimes, you know? Just things I don't know. Yeah.
I feel that too, for sure.
Mum. All right. Yeah, here. Yeah, you know, bearing up under the circumstances.
What circumstances? Well, Roxy.
What happened to Roxy? You know.
Know what?
Well, she's my bird now, isn't she?
Yeah.
And? And she's sucking off blokes left, right, and center, isn't she? All right.
Aw. I don't know.
>> What? You do know, cuz I'm telling you.
>> Yeah, but why?
It plays on my mind. Okay. Right.
I don't know what you want me to say.
Gascoigne.
Right.
I'm playing.
Say it.
And then reality hit.
Oh gosh.
Oh.
So.
It's nice, isn't it? Just a Nice to sit down, isn't it?
End of the day.
How much have you sat down most today?
And then You weren't wearing a pink jumper at work, were you? It's not Apparently it's salmon. Salmon pink. Yeah, with no t-shirt on. No.
>> Underneath. Interesting. Just like the feel of wool against your skin. Well, it's merino wool, so it's it's super soft.
Um You were a bit hot. I did have a t-shirt on, yeah. So I thought T-shirt off, jumper on. Sure.
>> And Never looked back.
Oh, um Jill got you a house plant. Oh, I mean it's for both of you.
How can a house plant be for both of us?
I live alone. Uh well, I just I can look at it when I come round. Um she was just being polite, okay? So Emma didn't feel left out. That's Thank you.
And we don't water it too much.
Um It's a cactus.
I like your painting.
It's one of Lisa's.
Aw. It's not one of her best. What do you mean? No, I just >> If you don't like it, I'll have it.
>> I do like it. I'm just saying that's how good an artist she was that it's not one of her best. I wasn't Right. Please don't be like this, okay?
Uh I think I'm going to go.
Oh, am I coming with you?
>> No.
I'm not in the mood. I know I wouldn't be. But no, seriously, stay.
I'll be fine.
Thank you. You know, I hate when shows do this, man. When when series 2 ended, it kind of made you feel like it's going this direction with them specifically. And then this episode starts and he's just being such an [Β __Β ] to her.
>> it's the truth of reality because you're not going to be 100% perfect and everything's not going to go the right way every time. It's going to people are still going to be human.
>> he was like, you know, I can't like be with you fully, but I can like do this with you.
>> Yeah.
But this isn't what he this isn't what you told her you were going to be able to give her.
Like, yeah, I can hang out with you and ridicule ridicule you and constantly remind you that me and you will never be a thing. It's like, what?
Uh all right.
I'm so sorry about that.
He's still not well.
He's fine.
He's obviously still in love with Lisa and I'm never going to be a substitute and I think he wants everyone to know that.
We think you're so cool, great, patient, kind. Well, I'm a grown-up.
Gosh.
>> That's rough. She doesn't deserve this, man. Come on.
And you're walking around smiling with your head held high. How dare you?
Oh my gosh, he's going to throw it at somebody.
Don't overwater it.
[Β __Β ] Don't overwater it.
That guy is just holding Oh, that's awesome. You knew that was coming. You knew it was coming.
He's met his freaking Snow is falling.
>> He's up there now. Color of my coat.
Silence lies heavy on the pines.
So what?
Best snowman ever. Snow person. Oh, yeah.
>> Yeah. My bad. Could be either gender.
>> Mhm.
With a carrot for HER MASSIVE [Β __Β ] CORRECT.
>> thought it through. Picking me up on sexist language.
Lovely [Β __Β ] Can I go back there, back to the beginning again?
Can I go back there, back to the beginning again?
We were just beginning.
Man, that ended way too quickly. That went by so fast.
>> That was my least favorite episode, I think, so far. But I just I don't know.
I I in a way I don't blame him because it's like everybody is just >> been on that mindset.
Yeah, like I >> This is the least justified so far.
Like all the context is already there.
All the stuff has already happened. It's all like But it's always real to me.
Like you're still going to have bad days and you're just going to be an [Β __Β ] for no reason just because you're still human. You can't explain stuff sometimes. Sometimes you just in a bad mood. Sometimes things are they don't make sense to you. Sometimes things are just make you angry and it's not fair and This is the first one where I just felt like he was being a complete [Β __Β ] and there was no moment of realization of like, "Man, I'm being an [Β __Β ] I should probably kind of >> Yeah. uh before I hit a wall." It's just like he's like, "Asshole." and then he's walking around smiling with his head up like and going home and watching movies smiling with his head up.
>> I don't know. I just That's what makes you feel like it's more real than anything cuz I feel like just sometimes you just are I don't know.
Sometimes you don't understand why you feel the way that you feel, but you're still just doing it. Maybe that's me right now. I can't I just don't understand why I feel the way that I feel. for him doing that and he kind of pushed that on him and kind of forced him.
>> "Please don't be this way." or "Please don't do this." Like, "Oh, I felt that."
>> Yeah. If anybody ever says that to me, I'm like, "Oh, really?
Well, that we're definitely going there now." Like, you did this. You forced me to be here. You wanted me to be somebody that you know I'm clearly not and I let you know that and you're trying to force it into something that it's not. So, I would have reacted the same way and I probably would have left.
>> don't be this way." Like, "What way? But be me?
>> Yeah. Why'd you invite me then?
>> Exactly.
Sorry, I thought everything's cool.
>> So, I do get that. I do get that, but then >> And I love that he threw something out a car cuz when he said something about that, I'm like, "Would be really fun to do."
You just mad?
>> You need to go back to a break room before something bad happens.
Geez Louise.
I would never. It's nice to watch it happen though.
You can just live vicariously through that scene. It's fine. I'll just replay it. Good.
>> Anytime I have road rage, I'll just replay that scene.
And clap. And laugh loudly.
All right, friends. Well, thanks for watching along with us.
I still enjoyed it. Just wasn't my favorite episode, but >> It was a little bit more down. Can't win them all. What you going to do?
We'll see y'all on the next one. Bye, friends. Peace.
Yeah.
