"Extras" first episode of the second season will begin on January 14, and the US media had an early view of this show, here are some of the reviews about Dan's out of character personification of himself in "Extras":
Variety
"The third episode, though, might be the best, as Andy's agent (Merchant, way over the top) lands him a small part in a feature co-starring Daniel Radcliffe -- Harry Potter himself -- who's determined to remind everyone that he's 17 now and has "done it with a girl, intercourse-wise." A cameo by Dame Diana Rigg, no less, only adds to the inspired lunacy.
....thanks to Gervais and company, we are, indeed, havin' a laugh."
News Observer
"In its second season, "Extras" (returning 11 p.m. EST/PST Sunday, HBO) is going from a mediocre sitcom to a brilliant one.
Scene-stealing guest stars Orlando Bloom and Daniel Radcliffe only add to the show's creative height. Both play against type to outrageous results.
"Extras" isn't just a sitcom anymore. It's HBO at its best."
UPDATE: One more review
Chicago Tribune
"That said, this season “Extras” has many laugh-out-loud moments: Andy gives a beggar a 20-pound note - and wants change; David Bowie, whom Andy meets at a trendy club, spontaneously comes up with a hilarious pop song about the pudgy failed actor and his pug nose; Orlando Bloom and “Harry Potter’s” Daniel Radcliffe have inspired cameos as would-be lotharios."
