It might be on Disney+, but superhero comedy Extraordinary is pure filth Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Packed with off-the-wall jokes and unexpected one-liners, the streamer’s second British-based production is a joyJanuary 25, 2023 7:00 am
Twenty-five-year-old Jen is at a job interview. “How was your journey?” asks the interviewer distractedly, looking through her CV. “If I’m sitting weirdly it’s because I think my tampon’s come out, but I didn’t have time to go to the bathroom downstairs because I slept in, because I spent so long last night trying to make myself come, but I couldn’t because of my antidepressants,” Jen blurts out.
Some superpowers are more useful than others. Carrie works at a barrister’s chambers, where her ability to channel the dead helps settle legal disputes about wills. Jen’s mum can change channels on the TV without using the remote. The woman who interviewed Jen about the job? She has the ability to make people tell the truth.Jen feels left out and hard done by.
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.is set in the British capital and made by a UK-based production team, it’s also a brilliant showcase for two exciting new Irish talents: writer Emma Moran, 29, from Fermanagh, and Tyers, 24, from Cork.
Just to get your first script made at all is impressive. But to get it made by the production house behindand shown on the channel that is home to blockbusting, big-budget Star Wars and Marvel content is, well, extraordinary. Moran began writing it when studying for a screenwriting MA at the University of Manchester and finished it during lockdown.
