Gervais is genius :)..
Extras is truly great British comedy, not far, and I hesitate to say behind Fawlty Towers... He puts so much of himself into the Millman character, as with Brent, its breathtakingly focussed, never a wasted or forced gesture, it's the micro-moments that are just dazzling, like when he realises the cute woman moving into his block has twigged that the autograph was a set up was totally winsome. Brilliant :) Best thing in years.
I really dont know to what extent it would be received in the US, so much of it is observation of the British , but the writing is so tight it should do well anywhere.
