Where I found the first season especially entertaining, I really messed up several times with this second season. Especially the brilliant character of Stephen Merchant, Andy Millman's agent, contributes to this. The scene where he pulls out that action figure of Millman's character in his sitcom at the BAFTAs and this puppet suddenly keeps repeating the catch phrase from the sitcom while someone is seriously muttering a thank you... Awesome! 
Now that Andy can finally fulfill his big dream (write, create and star in his own sitcom), the series cuts into Gervais's clumsy character even more than in the first season. Millman always manages to put himself in embarrassing, precarious situations, but is often given a helping hand by the people around him. What struck me about this season was that the people around Millman make decisions that he doesn't really support himself (Chris Martin's guest role in his sitcom; his main character's wig and glasses), but he it gets a lot of criticism for it. Painful!
Gervais will forever be known as David Brent from The Office, but this is also a very nice series.
