Leaps into a new creative stratosphere. .... Season two is flat-out great.
-
Extraordinary’s trademark brash humor remains as offbeat, raunchy, and genuinely funny as ever. .... But Extraordinary’s greatest superpower remains what it has always been: its heart. And in a pop culture landscape full of paint-by-numbers superhero stories, that actually counts for a whole lot.
-
Extraordinary continues to mine humor from well-written characters and a finely-tuned ensemble, using its superhero conceit only occasionally.
-
Like the first series, this one ends on a cliffhanger. Tyers has signed up to do four if Disney wants them and so a third season, at least, for Jen and the gang seems a certainty. Extraordinary is a superhero show with real staying power.
-
This is sparky, raucous comedy that tears through each of its 30-minute episodes with such energy that it never outstays its welcome.
-
Extraordinary does have a superpower of its own in Tyers. She is winningly flinty as Jen and plays wonderfully off her control freak mother (played by Derry Girls’ Siobhán McSweeney). But the show suffers from inconsistent humour. It is sometimes uproariously hilarious, often merely vulgar and sweary.
