The show generally has two angles. Firstly, Andy Millman (Gervais) is trying desperately to break through, which means a line here and there or any obvious camera presence. His luck is not improved by having a horribly inadequate agent (Merchant). Also, Maggie is a bit bumbling and more often than not puts Andy in rather precarious situations that result in him losing more than just face.
The series also features different real life 'stars' and more often than not, these actors play integral roles in the shows story, as opposed to simple cameos.

Brilliant show! You're missing an ep... s02e07, the long season finale.
just watched all episodes.
What a pity that there are only 2 seasons.
Amazing show
This show is just too painful to watch. Too fucking painful.
UPDATE: The Christmas Special was "easier", but oh so brilliant. Probably one of the best TV speeches ever.. (in the ranges of The West Wing :)
Wonderful series!
Same as kakature.
Better than The Office imo.
