About
"Fame satire that turns quietly heartbreaking"
Extras follows Andy Millman, a jobbing background actor who dreams of a proper speaking role while scraping by on film sets alongside his equally hapless friend Maggie. Each episode drops him into a new production crawling with a famous star playing a warped, self-obsessed version of themselves. The comedy is cringe-heavy and squirmingly awkward, but underneath the celebrity satire sits real melancholy about ambition, compromise, and settling for less. It gets notably darker and more bittersweet as it goes, especially by its finale, trading easy laughs for something sadder and more pointed.
the celebrity cameos gleefully skewering their own public images.
