this is really a wonderfully crafted, very funny show from master Ricky Gervais. The sad thing is that it won't be coming back for another season. I have all episodes of this show and the special. This show is especially good if you love movies (like me). Very funny with not much bad content (unlike most stuff today.

Forget Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler or any other talentless comedian. Ricky Gervais does it all. He writes, directs and stars in this brilliant, but unfortunately short comedy following his THE OFFICE success. The show flawlessly blends a plethora of emotions and dines on situational comedy. It mocks stereotypes and beats up on egos. Each episode contains a cameo from a celebrity (Ian McKellan, Kate Winslet, Ben Stiller, etc.) and the all brilliantly blow your mind in characters as you have never before seen them, even poking fun at themselves sometimes. If all comedy were like this, I would forever be glued to the TV. God bless the British.
