The Leverton Review

I have always liked Superhero movies that did not take the conventional approach to the genre.  For example, kick ass, and the Watchmen were my favorites for some time, and despite people's hatred for it, I kind of dug Ironman 3. Extraordinary tells the story of a woman without superpowers in a world where everyone has superpowers.  The superpowers are kind of irrelevant to the story, it's just the story of an unextraordinary person who does not know what her purpose is.  It is full of very meaningful moments, and hilarity.  There are very few things that I can watch by myself and laugh out loud and this is one of them.  The actors are great, and the writing is superb.  Leverton Review. 5/5

The plot of this series is a good one, some unsuspecting characters stumble into a murder investigation.  The characters are well acted, and the writing of their backstories is excellent.  The one thing that sticks in my craw is the way the writers treat true crime podcast fans.  It's kind of obvious that they have never listened to a true crime podcast in their lives as they depict true crime podcast fans as something like modern day Trekkies.  I don't doubt that there would be a podcast about the crimes in the series, or that the characters themselves would try like they do to make one, but that they would have fans camping outside the building, or stalking them in restaurants?  Absurd.  Leverton Review 3/5
