That's the second time I've used the word "struggling" to describe this show I either need a new word or they need to crank up the quality.

#1 or 2 was the best.

i thought it was much more consistent in its storyline - and him getting his first role as a gay genie was right up my alley. oooooohm!

very hit and miss extras imo, some halirous scenes and come very cringeworthy too, but the ones i've seen winslet and dennis just didn't hang together.

anyway it could b worse, well it is, some muppet @ the beeb commissioned the catherine tate show...........i mean wtf its sketch comedy of the weakest variety and is so unfunny it just gets turned off

Patrick Stewart made me laugh for that whole scene with them in his trailer.

this show got picked up for a second season... i'm starting to think it's not supposed to be a comedy but rather a drama with comedy in it...

I think you're right in that observation. I wonder how people over here Stateside are going to react to it when it begins airing on HBO after the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm this September.

Overall I liked the series. I think it took me a few episodes to get into it.

The last episode was great, about time. Lots of "best bits".

agreed. probably one of the worst "comedy" shows ive ever had the displeasure to witness on the BBC. and stuff like
Outlaws doesnt get a second series? Unbelievable. Complain to the BBC I say.

As for Extras, I like it much more than the Office. Gervais really knows that uncomfortable embarrassment feeling and how to put it on screen.

This is why I can't watch it. If enjoyed feeling my skin crawl I'd rub scabies mite eggs all over myself.
