Extras

CriticsCritics: 86
AudienceAudience: 8.2

An aspiring actor works as a background performer while chasing a speaking role and hoping for fame. Surrounded by celebrity guests and an inept agent, he and his well-meaning friend navigate awkward encounters, show-business compromises, and the frustrations of trying to break into the spotlight.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy awkward British comedy, biting celebrity satire, and uncomfortable characters, especially in the vein of The Office; Not for you if you dislike cringe humor or harsh jokes.
