TV Series. Action. Adventure. Comedy. Fantasy. Sci-Fi TV Series (2023-). 2 Seasons. Ten years ago, everyone over the age of 18 got their superpower. But Jen, a painfully self-aware 25-year-old woman, is still waiting to get hers. She'd take anything at this point. Adrift in a big, confusing world and armed with nothing but a bit of hope, a lot of desperation and her flatmates, Jen begins her journey to find her maybe-superpower.

		Shannon Connellan Mashable	"[2nd Season Review]: Season 2 allows these flawed characters to dig a little deeper into their insecurities, fears, and ultimately, what makes them actually powerful beyond their magical talents"
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[2nd Season Review]: The sillier the powers and the dafter the events that transpire as a result of (almost) everyone being slightly magical, the more profound its emotional core turns out to be (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"

		Nick Levine NME	"[2nd Season Review]: Its salty-sweet tone is tremendously infectious and not without boldness"
		Lacy Baugher Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: ['Extraordinary']'s trademark brash humor remains as offbeat, raunchy, and genuinely funny as ever"
		Joel Keller Decider	"[2nd Season Review]: 'Extraordinary' continues to mine humor from well-written characters and a finely-tuned ensemble, using its superhero conceit only occasionally"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"[1st Season Review]: As a whole, this first season does leave room for exploration and improvement. But as a start, it’s more than enough to prove that it has some special abilities to keep it going"
		Craig Mathieson The Age	"[1st Season Review]: ['Extraordinary']'s own superpower is that it makes the comic book conceit pertinent to the individual characters -their emotional travails connect to the powers on offer (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Keith Watson Metro	"[1st Season Review]: It stands out from the crowd compared to other superpower shows (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"[1st Season Review]: [It] is fun but does begin to feel, once the initial playfulness of the premise has worn off, underbaked (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"[1st Season Review]: Quite the unusual thing -a sci-fi-inflected coming-of-age story and a sitcom that's actually funny"
		Benji Wilson Telegraph	"[1st Season Review]: Emma Moran has created a delightfully fun, naughty show that ignores the superheroes of Marvel and DC and finds wonder in the mundane (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Joel Keller Decider	"[1st Season Review]: 'Extraordinary' has big laughs because it exists in a world where having superpowers isn't a big deal"
		Abby Cavenaugh Collider	"[1st Season Review]: An enjoyable comedy with some funny moments and an endearing story at its heart. Maybe you won't laugh as much as you'd hoped, but you will have a fun ride regardless"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"[1st Season Review]: Moran's comic sensibility is dirty-mouthed and dirty-minded in a completely disarming, sometimes painfully funny way"
		Caitlin Welsh Mashable	"[1st Season Review]: Whip-smart writing and lived-in performances"
		Emma Loffhagen London Evening Standard	"[1st Season Review]: The perfect antidote to the January blues (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
