Show Notes

Let’s look at yet another British TV series – but don’t worry, you can see this one in the U.S. of A without a VPN – and yet another superhero show. Like we haven’t talked about enough British shows and superhero shows lately: Extraordinary.

Extraordinary’s first season is on Hulu, right here.

More world-of-superheroes stuff, far darker than this, can be seen in The Boys here and its spin-off, Gen V, here.

You can see an earlier attempt at a similar premise, Powerless, available here.

In comics you've got Normalman here

Then there’s Austin Grossman’s surprisingly engrossing novel, Soon I Will Be Invincible here

and Peter Clines’s great superheroes-vs.-zombies series, X-Heroes, here.

There’s also Wild Cards, the extraordinary series edited by George R.R. Martin, here.

There’s also the Wearing the Cape series here

And over in anime and manga, there’s a truly addictive series, My Hero Academia, here.

There’s also a trailer for Season Two of Extraordinary. Check is out here.
