This rom-com series is a riot-think superhero shenanigans meets romantic mishaps. It's a refreshing break from the typical superhero flicks we're all tired of.
Each episode is like unwrapping a surprise gift, keeping you hooked with its unexpected twists and turns.
Binge-worthy. Spend a rainy weekend indoors with this gem of a series. You won't regret it. The characters' interactions feel natural, none of that forced drama nonsense. It's like hanging out with your wacky friends, minus the awkward silences.
My only complaint? Make the episodes longer!
Sometimes it feels like they end too soon, leaving you craving for more laughs.
Overall, a must-watch for anyone craving a good laugh and a fresh take on the superhero scene.

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.

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.
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).

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.

Did you know
- TriviaThe series has a reoccurring musical cue which is not an original composition for the show, but is actually a remixed instrumental of the song "Pepper" by the Butthole Surfers. The song is about societal criticism when being viewed by others and brushes with death. This ties back to the lead character Jen who is looked down upon for not having super powers and is told how they are going to die in the first episode.
- GoofsJizzlord is a male shape shifter, but when in cat form he presents as a black tortoiseshell. While male tortoiseshell cats can exist, they are rare (about 1 in 3,000 cats).
