John Anderson

Jan 24, 2023

Gleefully crude, rude, lewd and almost unfailingly likable eight-part series that is quite the unusual thing—a sci-fi-inflected coming-of-age story and a sitcom that’s actually funny. Read full review

Extraordinary’s superpower is its freshness. It’s not always extraordinary, but it’s never dull. Read full review

The Daily Beast Kyndall Cunningham

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

IndieWire Steve Greene

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

All in all, Extraordinary is 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. 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.

Surprising little gem with fresh cast. Not immediate hit perhaps but the longer you give, the more interesting it gets.

In another variation on the super power genre, one woman (Máiréad Tyers) is the only person in her world who does NOT have a power. Her journey to discover her special ability involves her roommates, a fun assemblage of semi-quirky characters. Probably the most fun is the man who transformsIn another variation on the super power genre, one woman (Máiréad Tyers) is the only person in her world who does NOT have a power. Her journey to discover her special ability involves her roommates, a fun assemblage of semi-quirky characters. Probably the most fun is the man who transforms into a cat (Luke Rollason). As she wanders thru the series, we're treated to people enjoying their powers all around, which adds a fantasy touch to the sci-fi world. What makes the series most enjoyable is peculiar charms of the cast and the light, fresh writing. It's not hilarious and won't break any new ground, but is more entertaining and unique than much of the current comedy fare.… Expand
