In U.K. author Emma Moran's new Hulu comedy collection Extraordinary, 25-year-old protagonist Jen (Máiréad Tyers) lacks vanity and struggles to fit in. Why? She's the only one she is aware of with no superpower, which makes her really feel ordinary, not to mention bitter.

See, in this universe, everyone (well, nearly everybody) over the age of 18 develops a supernatural, Marvel-like power. It's like hitting puberty ... sort of.

The not going and "painfully self-aware" heroine pretends to be unbothered now and then, however in reality she'd do the rest to discover her possibly dormant superpower. So, is she just a late bloomer, or does her superpower by no means come? Let's get into it.

Does Jen free up her superpower in Season 1 of 'Extraordinary'?

When her buddy Carrie (Sofia Oxenham) calls her "a brave little soldier," Jen says "I haven't got a power yet, I'm not, like, terminal." With a scowl on her face, Jen is clearly aggravated. The knowledge that she lacks a power will get beneath her skin, and he or she does not want others pointing it out.

Jen will take a look at just about any difficult to understand web tip if it approach possibly unlocking her energy (like consuming the spiciest factor on the menu or braving a dentist appointment), however there's a phase of her that is afraid to determine the truth.

"I'm scared nothing will change and then I won't even have hope. I'll just have ... me," she tells her new friend (and love hobby) Jizzlord (Luke Rollason). Perhaps the reality will set her unfastened.

And even though she attempts to save money for a medical institution that guarantees to draw out her superpower, she does not rack up the £12,000.

Thankfully, a man Jen dated, Gordon — who has the ability to, um, make other folks orgasm with the subtlest of touches — provides to pay for the sanatorium all through the season finale, titled "Surprise!"

"I've been supplementing my income by providing a service to ... unfulfilled women," Gordon tells Jen. "It's just pocket change. Straight women just paid off my student loan."

Why is "Extraordinary" on @hulu only 8 episodes? I want more!
