Extraordinary

Matt Roush says...

If all of those shows about young people with superpowers leave you cold, check out this cheeky comedy twist about the one young adult in London who lacks a special power. Máiréad Tyers is an irreverent hoot as Jen, who at 25 is still waiting to discover her superpower in a world where everyone else gets their special gift at 18. She rooms with Carrie (Sofia Oxenham), a girl who can communicate with the dead and whose boyfriend (Bilal Hasna) can turn back time. But it’s the stray cat (with an unprintable name) who’s not what he seems who threatens to steal the show.
