★★★★★ An Extra Ordinary Series!
*Before you read anymore of this review, please excuse the corny pun in the title* I was hesitant about watching this series, mainly because I didn't see much of Rickey Gervais' work, but hte work I saw I didn't like that much. But when some of the episodes were on HBO I started to watch. And I started to laugh. The show was very funny. Whether it was the bubbly and eager additude of Andy (Gervais) or the bumbling wit of Maggie (Ugly Betty's Ashley Jensen). As for the DVD itself, the packaging persists of nice artwork in an accessible style. Inside of the package is seasons (or series) one and two and the "Extra Special" series finale. Each season contains 6 episodes. Each season features those six episodes on two discs. The quality of the picture is outstanding. If you are, or were, a fan of the show this purchase is definitely worth it.
★★★★☆ Good series
The video and the sound could be better, but is ok. And I expect more extras!!
★★★★★ Only the Greatest TV Show
I've watched it through 3 times already. The series is short and hilarious, with the greatest finale I've ever seen in a TV show. As with Gervais's other works, there's a satirical, darker side to the story that makes this my favorite show.
★★★★★ Gervais and Merchant are treasures!
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.

★★★★★ perfect - how a comedy series should be done - Thank you RG and SM
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.
