Extraordinary (2023)
7.7/10on IMDb
First aired
Jen's lack of a superpower makes feeling behind her friends a visible fact, without making their own adult lives work properly. Flat-sharing, unimpressive employment and romantic embarrassment drive the British comedy. The fantasy sharpens a familiar early-twenties frustration, with explicit humour and an unfinished run.
