Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant write and direct this absolutely brilliant comedy about extras in the movies and the one who makes it on television.
The wit and humor is fast; the satire pungent and on the money. Major stars appear on the episodes playing weird, wacky, outlandish versions of themselves.
Who are Gervais and Merchant? They are the creators of another brilliant British series,"The Office."
Co-star Ashley Jenson is absolutely fabulous for her wonderful turn as Maggie, the dim witted, lovable best friend of Gervais's character.
Original material throughout. The show actually tells a story worth watching. Talk about great writers, actors, directors --- Gervais and Merchant are a revelation in the usually dull world of sitcoms.

Season one is perfect with great A list stars saying things they should not. The premise is great for comedy and R & S are brilliant. Season two is a wonderful extension of the story and the dialog is quick. But the real winner is the finale - on which all sitcom finales should be based and judged against. How many times can you watch these? I'd bet more than 30 each.
Please tell me about the scene with the unwanted peer Andy is forced to dine with - the walk through the cemetery is perfect writing and acting. And the racist test - I show that episode to everyone who comes to my house.

Extras Series was hillarious!!! I'm currently in Australia and the complete series of Extras isnt out here yet, so I ordered from Amazon and in a few weeks I was laughing intensely at Ricki. I would highly recommend using Amazon and I would highly recommend watching Extras if you like British humour.

The entire series is in this little package, including the series finale, which is probably the best of the bunch. As far as the show itself is concerned: Often times, a show or talent is brought over from another country and "Americanized." I'm happy to say that this is not the case with Extras. Nothing is "dumbed down," the humour is unchanged, and Stephen Merchant is a main character!!! The various star appearances are not just thrown in for ratings, or inserted in the show to plug their latest projects. Instead, they play caricatures of themselves, often heightening the public's perceptions of them. Ben Stiller yells at a child, Kate Winslet gives advice on proper phone sex techniques, and Sir Ian McKellen plays dumb in the most intelligent way possible.

I think my favorite parts are with Stephen Merchant as the agent. Especially when he tries to answer his cell phone. I also loved the extra extra of Stephen and Ricky trying to contact Leonardo DeCaprio.
