Extras

The first time I watched this serie I was completely atracted by its clever, well-written, interesting script. The cast is absolutely amazing and its main actors Ricky Gervais (who is also the writer) and Ashley Jensen have a really nice performance as two movie extras who get involved in some odd situations with real stars of the film industry. Gervais plays Andy Millman and Jensen is Maggie Jacobs. Andy is a frustrated extra who can never have acting parts in the movies he makes, like a full-desperate guy trying to reach fame. Maggie plays the stupid blond and due to her stupidity she can never find a boyfriend or a good job. However, she seems the only happy person in the show.

This is a very good sitcom, with hilarious situations, but with a great balance between comedy and drama. Each episode there is a new movie star who plays himself/herself in the serie. Ben Stiller, Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson, Orlando Bloom are some of the examples of actors who helped to make this sitcom a great masterpiece.
