There are some brilliant original series onDisney+.A Murder at the End of the Worldhad me hooked with its guess-who mystery, andCulpritshad me permanently on the edge of my seat but when it comes down to it, I just want to laugh. Luckily, that’s just whatExtraordinarydelivers, and the imminent (it arrives on March 6th) second series cements its status as the best show on the streaming service.
Having watched it all (lucky me!) I can tell you now that you need not worry about any kind of second album syndrome. The charm, goofiness and heart are all still there in spades,Extraordinaryremains both an excellent vehicle for episodic self-contained stories and for the greater narrative arc (Jen finding her power). If you want to hear the cast talk about it, we’veinterviewed them too!

If you’re not familiar with the series, basically it’s a sitcom set in London where everyone develops superpowers at the age of 18, except for Jen (Máiréad Tyers). Season two’s main focus is on Jen’s therapy sessions to discover her as yet unmanifested power, as well as her housemate’s attempts to stay friends post-breakup. The therapy is presented in a brilliantly original way that must have had set designers jumping for joy.
At the core of it, the superpowers are a metaphor for growing up, and it’s safe to say that Jen hasn’t grown up yet. Series two sees her once again land in plenty of scrapes and plenty of glorious awkwardness. What setsExtraordinaryapart however is the fact the series manages to balance silliness with sentimentality, you’ll go from the verge of tears to a crude joke in seconds and it is never jarring. Don’t want to take my word for it? Well, the first series has a perfect 100% onRotten Tomatoesand I don’t see that dropping anytime soon.
As for what power I wish I had? Time travel, so I could catch the next season straight away. It’s honestly my favourite show onDisney+.
