Ricky Gervais has a show on Netflix called After Life, where he plays a reporter struggling with grief after his wife dies of cancer. Not that it's particularly knee-slapping funny premise, but I believe that's why this is categorized as "dark comedy." A lot of the comedy is delivered when Tony goes to interview people for his newspaper, like this bit about a grown-ass man who now claims he's transgender and identifies as an eight-year-old girl. Had this been an episode of Law & Order, this would be advertised as "ripped from the headlines" (see SLIPPERY SLOPE: "TRANSEXUAL" MAN NOW CLAIMS HE'S A SIX YEAR OLD GIRL... and TRANS-SPECIES? MEET THE GROWN MEN WHO IDENTIFY AS DOGS...).
