Extraordinária

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)

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.

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).

I had to write a review about this show. It's just so great. I love everything about it. I was waiting for a light comedy and that's what it is. The writing is so well done, all the characters are so well written. For once I live all the characters, also the actors are all great. Live to see new faces and these guys are just nailing it. The plot is very good and you might think it's a superhero/xmen stuff but not really. I love the feel too, the wardrobe is very colorful too.

The format is also nice, I wish it was a hour long but this is okay. Looking forward to more, sometimes new ideas Pay off and this one is one of them.
