Extras

2005–2006 · 2 seasons

Cringe-comedy awkwardness that slowly deepens into a quietly sad look at fame and friendship.

Tagline: Big, big big, stars. And this guy.
Overview: Andy Millman gave up his day job five years ago in the hope of achieving the big time, but he’s yet to land a speaking part, let alone saunter down the red carpet to pick up an Oscar. He remains optimistic however, as rubbing shoulders with the A-list on-set only serves to reinforce his belief that the big time is just a job or two away.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, melancholic and absurd. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Celebrity, ambition, friendship, media
Content: Strong language. Mild sexual content. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
