Debut writer Emma Moran and the makers of Killing Eve present Extraordinary, a well-made ode to the struggling twentysomething. In a world where everyone has been gifted a superpower (except our angsty main character, naturally), 25-year-old Jen (Máiréad Tyers) attempts to unlock her true potential. Quirky, crass and cringeworthy, this almost hilarious new series presents itself as an ambitious medley of Misfits and Bridget Jones. 

From classic superstrength to an ability for turning anything into a PDF, the playful universe of Extraordinary leaves plenty room for amusingly awkward encounters. Our powerless yet punchy protagonist displays an irresistible Irish charm that carries the comedy. And of course, Derry Girls’ favourite scene-stealer Siobhan McSweeney (complete with supernatural abilities) only adds fuel to that fire.

Despite its strengths, some of the series’ jokes don’t quite land (a 3D printing anus?) and a few overused Gen-Z clichés remove an element of authenticity from the script. However, its attempted relatability to the troubled youth of today remains effective at least 80% of the time (think monstera leaf bedding and ‘craft beer guy’ slander). With its 90s-style opening credits and Wet Leg-heavy soundtrack, Extraordinary makes for a mildly moreish but not quite marvellous comfort show. 

All episodes available on Disney+ now.
