"Extraordinary" tries so hard to be quirky, edgy, and clever that it ends up collapsing under the weight of its own forced eccentricity. What could have been a fun, offbeat premise turns into a chaotic mix of lazy writing, unfunny humor, and characters who are so exaggerated that it becomes impossible to care about any of them. Instead of charm, the show leans heavily on shock value and awkwardness, as if hoping that random weirdness alone will carry the story.

The pacing is uneven, the jokes rarely land, and the emotional beats feel unearned. It's a series that constantly reminds you how "different" it wants to be, yet never delivers anything meaningful beneath the gimmick. The world-building is inconsistent, the character development is paper-thin, and the whole thing ends up feeling like a concept stretched far beyond what it could realistically support.

If this is meant to represent modern comedy or "fresh storytelling," then it's a pretty disappointing sign of where things are headed. I kept waiting for the moment it would improve or at least find its footing, but instead it doubled down on the same messy, hyperactive energy that made it unbearable from the start.

Overall, it's a show that mistakes absurdity for originality and noise for entertainment. Not recommended.

A visually bold and thematically heavy adaptation of Bulgakov's classic. The film follows the Master, a writer crushed by a system that cannot tolerate truth or individuality. His novel about Pilate is rejected not because it is unworthy, but because it is too true, too dangerous, and too free - a reminder of how easily courageous voices are silenced.

The film also portrays the Master's personal defeat with remarkable subtlety. In the end he attains peace, but not "light," lacking the courage to stand fully and openly for the truth he once pursued. Margarita follows him nevertheless, as she always does - a dark yet beautiful image of a love that survives fear, repression, and the destruction of everything else around it.

Powerful, symbolic, and faithful to the spirit of the novel - though not for viewers seeking an easy or straightforward narrative.

"A solid and engaging film. The story is well told, with several memorable quotes and a number of internal subplots that add depth without ever feeling forced. The pacing is steady, the characters are believable, and the central plot is both coherent and genuinely enjoyable. It may not be groundbreaking, but it is consistently well crafted and surprisingly thoughtful. All in all, a good and decent film that is well worth the time to watch."
