Extraordinary is a sitcom where everyone has a power. I really liked it
Comment on Superhero stories have become less about saving people and more about fighting villains.

Oh thanks. Now the following two weeks of my life will be consumed by binging a new TV series. Better start canceling those appointments and then switch my phone off.

Just watched the first episode, and this stuff is amazing! How come I never heard of this series before. Thanks for the tip!

Yeah the argument seems very shallow to me. Where does spider-man even fall in all this? The typical spidey depiction is a broke kid who isn’t even sure he wants to be a superhero. What does that make him?

Well his personality and background aren’t anything compared to many other superheroes. The circumstances of gaining the powers is the only really exceptional thing about him. Other than that, he seems like a pretty average kid to me.
