Extraordinary

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.

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)

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.

The story of Jane, an ordinary woman in a world where everyone has superpowers. So she became the black sheep of society. Only her friends help her to find her own power.

This is the ultimate low-cost superhero series. Not focusing on showing power using CG at all, but focusing on selling dramatic stories, life issues in the world that reflect interestingly to the new generation in today's society. A little emotional And the most wicked comedy 18+ of the story invites you to laugh continuously from beginning to end. It's good enough for you to try and open it to watch (one episode is short, 25 minutes).
