Extraordinary

Let's just say it - there is no really a plot twist, or a plot at all but that's just doesn't matter.

It's just pure fun and laughs

You'll watch the show with constant smile on your face along with laugh out moments from time to time, and wow - every joke just land with perfect timing

Jenn is so fun to watch, brilliant actor - cool, beautiful, weirdo.

The other cast members are really great too, loved the vigilanties crew, there are really good comedy moments with those.

The world building is quite cool and quirky, similar vibes to the brilliant show misfits, but much funnier and more "open"

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.

I have always liked Superhero movies that did not take the conventional approach to the genre. For example, kick ass, and the Watchmen were my favorites for some time, and despite people's hatred for it, I kind of dug Ironman 3. Extraordinary tells the story of a woman without superpowers in a world where everyone has superpowers. The superpowers are kind of irrelevant to the story, it's just the story of an unextraordinary person who does not know what her purpose is. It is full of very meaningful moments, and hilarity. There are very few things that I can watch by myself and laugh out loud and this is one of them. The actors are great, and the writing is superb.

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.

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.
