Extraordinária

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
