What a fantastic job Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant have done with this show. It really will get you laughing, a proper British comedy.
The plot is good and progresses at a good pace, the 2nd series was slightly better for me. The story is brilliant, it has bits of drama too and you really relate to the characters, all of which I feel were perfectly cast.
Ricky Gervais as Andy Millman is just brilliant, always failing but eventually getting there with a bit of help from his useless agent Darren Lamb, who Stephen Merchant portrays extremely well. Then there's Ashley Jensen who plays Andy's friend Maggie Jacobs, she is hilarious and always saying the wrong things, she is probably my star of the show! All of the celebrity guest stars are great and really add something special to the show, it was hard to pick which one was my favourite but I'd give a special mention to Kate Winslet and Daniel Radcliffe.
Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant done the right thing with this series where they have only done 2 series and 1 feature length special. I loved The Office (UK) and I honestly believe this is on par with it, it really is that good. Buy the box-set for a couple of quid, you won't regret it.
