Are any of you Brits watching this show? It has Ricky Gervais in it, so it sounds like it should be good, but is it?

it's not bad, not all that similar to The Office/Extras/Life's Too Short etc tho apart from the mockumentary style. Wasn't too sure what the deal was with the pilot/whether he was taking the piss a bit until the last 10 minutes and then it was a bit "woah". "Bittersweet comedy".

I'm a huge fan of it so far, think it may end up being my favorite Gervais production. It does skew more to drama than comedy at times, but that's what makes it for me. A beautiful blend of it so far. I think the pilot was the weakest. Episodes 1-3 where all strong stuff.
