It's hard to say that people "enjoy" this four-part docu-series from Investigation Discovery, but remember the heyday of Nickelodeon's children's live-action programming in the 1990s and 2000s It clearly struck a nerve with viewers who remember the heyday of Nickelodeon's live-action children's programming in the 1990s and 2000s That was when producer Dan Schneider was responsible for many of the station's hit series, and Quiet on Set examines his history of hostile and inappropriate behavior, along with other instances of serious abuse on the shows he directed

Technically, this British comedy series is also a superhero show, but the characters do not have silly code names or flashy costumes Instead, they are everyday people living in a world where almost every 18-year-old has superpowers Neurotic and lazy Jen (Máiréad Tyers) is one of the few helpless people, and in Season 2, she enrolls in a clinic to discover her powers while navigating new relationships and the pitfalls of 20-something life
Critics appreciate the heartfelt emotion along with the goofy humor of the new season, and this mix makes "Extraordinary" stand out among superhero shows It's not satire, nor is it a dismissal of the genre It is simply a gentle comedy about people trying to find their own way of life and, at times, attempting amazing supernatural feats
