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.

Extras isn't that funny - it's good and there are moments which a amusing but it's also too self reflective.
As AA Gill said of it: "Using celebs is what sit coms used to do when they ran out of ideas. If you haven't got anything funny to say just get David Bowie to say it." Sadly, I sort of agree. I really want it to be much better than it is.
Still, there's so much shit on TV it seems like extras is fantastic by comparison. So I'll go on watching it. . .
