History Series / Extraordinary2023

** The first season ends on one, [[spoiler: when a kid and her mom recognizes Jizzlord as their long disappeared dad/husband]].

* SiblingRivalry: The first episode has Jen asking for balloons for Andy's birthday which would read: ''"Happy 18th birthday, Andy. Mom is making me do this. We were never close and I hate you."''

* StealthPun: Jen's flatmates are named "Kash and Carrie."

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Jen regularly goes to her dad (via Carrie) for comfort, instead of her living mum. This is deconstructed in season two when her new psychiatrist points out how unhealthy her relationship with her mother has become, and even Martin himself begins to worry that his continual presence in her life is confusing her too much. [[spoiler:In the final George reveals his theory that Jen's inability to let go of her dad is what's stopping her from maturing psychologically, and the reason she can't access her power. Thus, she is reluctantly forced to say goodbye to him for the final time.]]

* VigilanteMilitia: Kash's dream of being a superhero leads to him building a team of others like him to fight crime and save people (this being despite none of them possessing any real idea of how, and only he and his rival [[SuperSpeed Gregor]] possessing any powers that are even remotely useful). Their first outing is a dismal failure where they get assaulted by some local thugs and Kash ends up running away when he's unable to turn back time far enough to avoid the confrontation. He later manages to bring them back together having gained intel about a local gang moving a huge shipment of drugs, only to discover Gregor has built his own team after being kicked out. The two bicker over who should get to confront them, before Kash realises he needs to focus on Carrie and gives up the venture. The two teams combined and successfully took down the gang without him, to the point of being praised as heroes in the next day's paper. Kash even lampshades how completely illegal the whole thing was in the second season and admits it's lucky none of them were arrested.

'''Carrie [channeling Hitler and his German accent]:''' (puts Carrie's fingers in her ears) La, la la, la, la la! I'm not listening! This is really childish! (speaks German, before Carrie stops channeling him)

'''Extraordinary''' is a 2023 British super hero comedy series created by Creator/EmmaMoran and starring Creator/MáiréadTyers, Creator/SofiaOxenham, Creator/LukeRollason and Creator/BilalHasna.

* FourTemperamentEnsemble: the main cast. Jen is the choleric, brash leader of the pack. Serious, former A-student, shy and insecure Carrie is melancholic. Slacker, lazy Kash is phlegmatic. And cheerful, airhead and plain weird Jizzlord is sanguine.

* MassSuperEmpoweringEvent: Whilst not many details have been elaborated yet, its revealed in the series that just over ten years beforehand was “the Great Change” which caused every person over the age of 18 to develop superpowers (although they didn’t all manifest at the same time) and everyone below to develop them sometime after they turn eighteen. Carrie mentions at one point that surprisingly little research has been done into what exactly caused this or how it works.

* TimeMaster: Kash has a limited ability to rewind time with him being the only one to remember what happened before. In season two he develops the new ability to also fast forward time, but it costs him the control of his powers, with him being sent forwards and back randomly. He regains his control in the season two final, but it is presently unclear if he can still travel forward.

* EvilCounterpart: Evil might be pushing it, but the more we get to know Nora the more it’s clear that she possesses all Jen’s negative traits, in particular her selfishness, pettiness, vindictiveness, callousness, and willingness to use others for her own gain, only without any of her more positive and more sympathetic one’s to act as a counterbalance.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Whilst not drawn attention to, [[spoiler: the missing posters that Nora puts out for Jizzlord more resemble those you would use for a missing pet than a person (i.e. describing him as Lost and offering a small cash reward). Initially, this seems to be just another joke about his ability to turn into a cat, only for it to turn out Nora wasn’t aware he could do so. Instead, it foreshadows how little Nora cared about him, seeing him more as an accessory for her brand rather than a beloved partner.]]

* DemonicPossession: In "The Exorcism of Carrie Jackson” Carrie channels the spirit of long-dead Hollywood Starlet [[FemmeFatale Dahlia Hanford]] to teach her to be seductive. However, Dahlia loves being young and beautiful again so much, that she flat-out refuses to leave, and instead takes over Carrie’s body planning to use her to continue her Hollywood career. Thus, it's up to the others to figure out a way to exorcise her and save Carrie.

* BlackWidow: Dahlia Hanford, the spirit who possesses Carrie in “The Exorcism of Carrie Jackson”, was one, as Kash’s research reveals five of her husbands died from breaking their necks falling down the stairs and one shot himself “[[TheCoronerProtestsToMuch in the back with a crossbow]].” But she got away with it all cause she was a rich and successful Hollywood star.

Kash is quick to shut the idea down, recognising the negative implications. Though he happily accepts the follow-up suggestion of them instead of giving them money deciding its “just tipping.”

* MundaneUtility: as everyone has power, most people use it for fairly mundane utility or to enhance their professional practice: Flight-powered people are used as taxis, a LivingLieDetector conduct interviews for her firm etc.

* MundaneLuxury: When faced with the prospect of being paid £300,000 in exchange for Carrie channelling a dead country star to finish his album, one of the things Carrie is most excited about her potential wealth is being able to buy tender stem broccoli, excitedly talking about how tender it will be.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Nora, [[spoiler:Jizzlord’s wife]] from season two.
