Extraordinary

Absolutely devastated that it ended after season 2, especially after that cliff hanger. So much more story left to be told. Such a funny show.

There was so much more character development left for Jen, not to mention everyone else, would have loved to see where the story took them.

But seriously, that cliffhanger ending?? Not fair to not give us another season after that to be honest. Actually it's quite rude.

It's definitely become one of my comfort shows and I would most definitely poop my pants if it did get picked back up. I'm just so devastated if you can't tell. Anyways will be rewatching this till I die.

This is the kind of comedy we Brits have excelled at for the last 40 years.

Set in a world where at 18 most people inherit a super power, we follow Jen, a 25 year old who still hasn't been granted her power.

There are some cool and original powers in the series. Jen's best friend can channel the dead, her mum has the power to control Tech but has no clue how modern gadgets work and we meet a man who can 3D print items from his arse, graffiti artists who can walk on walls and a woman trapped in the body of a teenage girl.

Although the main plot is following Jen as she tries to fit in and find her ability, the show is filled with brilliant characters and great sight gags.

Full of toilet humour and sure to offend many it's truly funny.

I must admit, when Disney+ first recommended this to me I expected it to be an American show aimed at teens, and I immediately wrote it off. Thank goodness my curiosity later prevailed!

Set in the UK, Extraordinary is centred around a group of 25 year olds in a world where everyone has powers... except Jen.

Much the same energy as Sex Education and Derry Girls, it shows (mostly) real life situations, turned up a notch thanks to shape-shifting, super strength, teleportation, and flight.

Each episode is around 30 mins and has a mid-credit scene. Great casting, writing, and relatable storylines make this a must watch for any fan of British comedy/drama.

Relieved to see it has already been confirmed for a second season.

It's good.

I'm just relieved to watch anything these days that isn't a spiteful pseudo moral lecture set to marginalise normal people. Extraordinary is extraordinary in so much as it is a new TV show that doesn't do the afore mentioned and is genuinely funny, accessible & touching.

Good work everybody.

The lead actress is wonderfully relatable & has a touch of screen magic about her.

I've only watched the first episode, but, I do hope this nugget of escapism continues in the vain it's set out in.

P. S. Like the aesthetic too. It has a touch of the 70s/80s about it. There's something nostalgic in the viewing.

On paper this very British young adult comedy is made up of so many familiar parts, but the writing is fresh, unpredictable and often riotously funny. The principal roles are perfectly cast - the housemates completely believable as former student friends growing in different directions, and the weirdness, grounded in familiar situations, seems completely natural. I quickly learned I could trust the writers to land each embarrassing situation so I could relax and enjoy the ride. A couple of familiar faces are reassuring but don't distract from the main characters. And whoever chose the music had a LOT of fun - the soundtrack is excellent. After the first run through I missed its company, so I watched it again.

We are rehoming a cat tomorrow, I'm sorely tempted to change his name. At least I'll get him a laser pointer.
