"Extras" revolves around a frustrated actor/writer named Andy and his friend Maggie who work as film extras. Much of the show takes place on film sets where Andy and Maggie shoot the breeze and often wind up in trouble with cast/crew members and even some celebrities like Samuel L. Jackson. Like most sitcoms, "Extras" starts out promising enough but quickly becomes formulaic. Each episode is virtually the same. Andy (played by "The Office" star Ricky Gervais) and Maggie work on a film with a big celeb, they complain and spout some witty/sarcastic comments before eventually offending someone's race, religion, sexuality, etc. Only in the last episode ("Patrick Stewart") when Andy makes a deal with the BBC to have his own sitcom does the show start to change. Another problem with the show is that the main characters aren't exactly likeable folks. They are rude, offensive people. Sure, they have many identifiable traits and struggles, but more often than not I was just annoyed by their conversations and actions. Now, I'm not saying the show isn't funny. On the contrary, I find myself laughing several times at seeing Andy's clueless agent or the perverted side of stars like Kate Winslet and Patrick Stewart. I just think it's a shame that the show fell victim to lazy writing. Then again, I haven't seen season two so maybe the show is different?
