Derek (Pilot) was created a minute after I created this article. Please merge relevant content from there into this article. Jim Michael ( talk) 23:04, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
I believe the guides for series 2, episodes 10 and 11, have been subject to vandalism. Can someone with the correct information please check and amend? Butcherscross ( talk) 01:09, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
There are many lines within the article which are opinions about the character that are large number of people would disagree with:
E.g. "Gervais's character, Derek, goes beyond his job description to help the residents for whom he cares. The character's quirky, goofy, and often hare-brained personality is tempered by a tender, honest and brave spirit."
And "He is kind, helpful, and selfless, with good intentions."
I do not believe it is appropriate to include opinions like these and then treat them as if they are facts. Simongoodsoup ( talk) 14:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
For a show that is 60-something% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, I find it strange that the only reviews listed are particularly scathing. That isn't exactly balanced, especially considering it's 10+ percentage points in the fresh category. It just seems like there's someone posting intense reviews because they didn't like it either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.22.210.241 ( talk) 03:12, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
Completely agree. Only one(s) with an ax could have selected so many negative quotations. Seems like second season had higher scores but even MORE negative quotes. What's the opposite of cherry picking?
The very first line Derek is a British television show starring Ricky Gervais who is also its writer and director implies the show is still airing but the series is now over. So should we change is to was? Buzzbo ( talk) 15:45, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
