Extras: Season 2

So what is this one about?
Netflix says, Aspiring actor and perennial extra Andy Millman (Emmy winner Ricky Gervais) finally strikes career pay dirt in the second season of the hilarious HBO series: The BBC has picked up a sitcom he created. Now he must deal with intrusive network execs, fickle fans and his inept agent (Stephen Merchant). Meanwhile, his friend Maggie (Ashley Jensen) supports him on this new journey. Orlando Bloom, David Bowie and Ian McKellen (with an Emmy nod) guest star.

And how much did I pay to watch?
Netflix.

And what did I think?
I thought it was just as great as season 1. Just as funny and just as excellent. The humor was still hilarious, with the Orlando Bloom one being especially funny (to me). Daniel Radcliffe is one of the episodes...his was moderately disappointing, but some of the ones with British actors I didn't know were excellent.

Then watching the outtake reels and the commentary was hilarious as well.

And man, Stephen Merchant is totally hot. Yeah, totally. And his voice is so soothing and wonderful. I'm totally crushing.

So what is the rating? (out of 10)
Again, a 10 out of 10.

Just watch it already!
