TV Review: Extraordinary is funny, odd and touching - watch it

"It can be a bit whimsical at times, going out of its way to deliver a gag every 60 seconds rather than letting the story flow without a laugh. But after two episodes, I’m on board."

L-R: Mairead Tyers as Jen, Sofia Oxenham as Carrie, Siobhan McSweeney as Mary in Extraordinary.

There is a scene in the opening episode of Extraordinary (Disney+) when a character is channelling the ghost of Hitler, and the other two tell him the world is a very liberal place now and the Jews are doing alright. The ghost of Hitler tries to shout them down and says the whole thing is very childish.

He’s right — Extraordinary is very childish. It’s foolish as well. In a good way.
