Extras

There's just something magical about Extras, not only for being just a flat-out great show and one of the first BBC shows I ever got to watch before streaming but it it's one of those things that just instantly takes me back to that period of time at 100 Metro when it was all dinner parties & the constant possibility of excitement. 🤗🕺

Here's my first ever mention of it, back in 2007:

Not all vitriol today...got a new tv show. Extras on HBO. Oh, I fought it...British, and had to keep hearing from my friends about how much better the English version of The Office is than the American one. Finally saw it and wanna eat up a whole nother season. Laugh out loud funny and has my favorite character since Costanza, Ricky Gervais’ agent. Looks like a praying mantis, just looking at him I crack up. So catch this whole last season HBO On Demand, you won’t regret it. And I have a huge crush on the girl Maggie. Sigh.

And here's just an absolute master class of comedy by Stephen freakin' Merchant 🤣🤣🤣🤣
