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.

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.

When Tim Kring's HEROES first appeared in 2007 -- about humans born with odd abilities -- it was a cultural milestone. Even late-night talk show hosts could not resist praising the series. That was then, this is now. Now shows about people with "powers" abound. This Disney UK release approaches the topic from the viewpoint of "coming of age," with notes of empathy, deadpan British humor, and overall sweetness. Good casting, good acting, and good scripts generally deliver the goods. Not an action series, not an adventure series, no werewolves or witches. Just people. Recommended.

Totally refreshing tv. Stumbled across this after seeing an ad. 2 episodes in and I was hooked.

If you liked the weird vibe that the legendary tv series Misfits gave you and are a fan of the unbeatable Spaced with Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Jessica Haynes then this is a show you can get into.

It's not high budget, but the cast are brilliant. Each character has a back story you want to explore, and have difficult intricate quirks that add to the story.

The lead played by Máiréad Tyers bring a realism to the happenings that works in this unusual world. The entire cast are perfectly cast in this unusual setting.

Is it for everyone? No Is it worth watching? Yes Did I laugh? Oh yes!

Did I cry? No, but got feels Did I binge it? Yes, I had to.

Where did I watch it? Star on Disney+ (uk)

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.
