It needs pruning: with the passing of episodes there’s a dizzying influx of characters and storylines, some verging on puerile. Still, overall it’s impressive: dark and sweet. Pugnacious yet vulnerable, Tyers reminds me of Pulling-era Sharon Horgan. Read full review

Sharply entertaining. It may not be as splashy or attention-grabbing as Hulu’s other offerings, but it certainly has a level of clarity and confidence regarding its thesis that’s missing from more experimental streaming programs as of late. Read full review

It has a lot of fun playing with the conventions of that currently dominant genre, but it is equally representative of some other favorite modes of the Walt Disney Company: the sentimental buddy comedy and the inspirational triumph-of-the-underdog tale. There are many ways that blend could go wrong, but the show’s various strains are combined in a charming and consistently amusing fashion by its creator and writer, Emma Moran. Read full review

The show is surreal and subversive, funny and filthy. It’s packed with off-the-wall jokes and visual gags and a twist towards the end of the first episode delivers an unexpected emotional kick that took me by surprise. Read full 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 “Extraordinary” has some special abilities to keep it going, whether or not its main character has them too. Read full review

The first episode of Extraordinary sets up a pretty funny premise; we just hope that the joke that everyone in the world has powers except Jen doesn’t quickly wear out when the novelty of it does. Read full review

The Guardian Lucy Mangan

Extraordinary is fun but does begin to feel, once the initial playfulness of the premise has worn off, underbaked. ... But it’s got just enough heart and good, unexpected one-liners (under the spell of a job interviewer who can make people tell the truth, Jen admits “I’m sitting funny ’cause my tampon’s falling out”) to keep you coming back for more and to mark 28-year-old debut writer Emma Moran as one to watch.

Oh my goodness this show is so fun and full of joy. It was an immediate uplifter! The cast, the story, the production was amazing. I am so happy this has been renewed. I highly recommend.

Fresh concept with relatable characters and funny dialogue. Very well directed and produced with minimal but well presented CGI . Don't go past this

Sometimes funny. Sometimes way too obvious. Too much thinly veiled disgust for certain demographics. And inexcusable cliffhanger at the end

It's like someone watched that cartoon 'my hero academia' and then asked themselves how to make it as terrible as possible.

Also watching this you'd think England was inhabited solely by pakis.
