# I lost interest in his / Merchant's style / genre of comedy halfway through the second series of Extras
I liked The Office, but I probably wouldn't watch it again
The trailers for Life's Too Short didn't convince me that they were attempting anything new, so I didn't watch it

# It's not a massive departure, no,
but I think they're good at what they do.

# I wasn't a big fan of the office....
I enjoyed the Xmas special as it showed character evolution.... Extras was brilliant, I seem to like him more as a person than a performer. I crack up at the pointless things he finds amusing too but when he writes it down it looses the spontaneous edge that makes the situations amusing.... So jokes end up too dissected and forced... An idiot abroad was great for that reason, the spontaneity.....

Life's too short has annoyed me, not for gervais or his writing.... The show is actually funny but Warwick Davis is being a complete hypocrite for the majority of the jokes after his years of spouting about being type cast... I know it's supposed to be ironic but again it just comes across forced and it's uncomfortable viewing.

# I am aware of that.
As was the office,
But this isn't just uncomfortable....It's creepy and weird, I just think it is lacking in some way.
