Ricky Gervais doing fine work. January 6, 2009
After the triumph of the original version of "The Office" Ricky Gervais is back with a fine piece of work. The second season is stronger than the first but the final Christmas special is a tad flat. Yet overall is has great characters, funny situations and a wonderful send-up of the TV industry filled with lots of Gervais' embarrassed humor and a fabulous romantic interest by Ashley Jensen. As the hapless agent Gervais' partner, Stephen Merchant, plays a much larger part than his cameo in "The Office" .
I enjoyed this series thoroughly.
Defective Disk Spoils Awesome Finale December 30, 2008
The Series Finale Disk, although printed up to look like the Extras Finale, turned out to be disk 2 of Planet Earth. Again, the disk was printed and labelled so that it looked an Extras disk--we only discovered the truth when we finally got around to watching it. Unfortunately, we did not get around to watching the final disk until months after I'd bought the set, as I'd already seen the whole series on TV. Be sure to watch all the disks as soon as they arrive, to make sure they contain the content they're supposed to. I know the show is great or I wouldn't have bought it on DVD; but quality assurance for this line seems to suck.
 Just not that funny! December 18, 2008
0 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am a huge fan of the office, so I looked up who wrote the scripts and bought this season to see if it was just as good (it worked when I grabbed the other Aaron Sorkin shows). This was pretty awful. It was not advertised on Amazon as a British television show, and the humor there must be completely different than it is in the United States.
There were about two hilarious minutes in each episode, but the rest of each episode was filled with jokes that just missed the mark. The only reason that this show gets 2 stars instead of 1 is because the guest stars that they managed to get to come onto the show are hilarious. Samuel Jackson and Ben Stiller are great. The actual characters on the show, however, leave a lot to be desired.
If you like British comedies, you will probably like this. If you are looking for a new "The Office" style comedy, this is not the one to buy.
 Awesomely Hilarious. December 17, 2008
This show is so funny! Ricky Gervais's wry humor and wit is sure to knock you off your feet. he is hilarious and the show rocks.
Best British Comedy since Monty Python December 10, 2008
This series tracks the life of Allen Millman (Ricky Gervais) and his friend Maggie through their days as film extras and Allen's subsequent rise to blue-collar sitcom fame. Each character in the series has such depth and unique comic appeal. The series is also peppered with guest stars including Kate Winslet, David Bowie, Orlando Bloom, and Robert De Niro. I thought the BBC Office was top notch, and did not expect the "extras" series to top it, but it surely did... Ricky Gervais' best work to date.
