The British drama "Extraordinary" (Extraordinary) is a satirical drama that satirizes contemporary British youth who are addicted to fantasy and kidnapped by political correctness. More precisely, it is the poor youth. They work odd jobs or are unemployed, and are fed and raised by dreams. In his twenties, he is already unknowingly covered with shackles, but he is unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice.

Sarcasm is everywhere. The heroine Jane (Mayred Thales), who went to the interview in the first episode, spit out a series of self-describing words and sentences in a state of chatterbox, which accurately summarized her personality characteristics. In the following episodes, these characteristics will be revealed one by one-jealous, vindictive, selfish, lazy, weak sense of responsibility, little pursuit, no specialty, inability to love others, etc.

Jane and her partners also have the biggest problem: the perception of things has been firmly locked by political correctness. It is difficult for this group of young people to look directly at the world, because they see everything through a layer of frosted glass. They don't understand art, and they insist on correcting the lyrics of Colt Gallahan's "suspected misogynism", and they are complacent about it; when they go to the pet clinic, the doctor tells them that this little animal is "racist", so stop now Turn your ass and leave.

They don't want to label people and things, and want to treat everyone without any discrimination. But such exorbitant morality has a dangerous tendency to make people stupid. During the dispute, Lian Zhen couldn't help but said: "But I still like to put labels on. In the company's freezer, put a label on your own yogurt so that it will not be eaten by others."

They are lacking in entertainment spirit and means. They usually summon Hitler's soul upper body (a kind of super power) and make fun of his failure of ideals, and fill the rest of the time with watching TV, watching short videos and parties. They are weak, mentally and physically dependent on drugs. When filling the teeth, the doctor asked Jane, who was so frightened, if she would like to take a Valium, she swallowed it in one gulp, and started to feel silly.

Although already in society, these youth are not yet ready to take on responsibilities. Jane's roommate Kesh (played by Bailal Hasner) recruits a group of young people similar to him to be vigilantes because his girlfriend is not looking for a job. They acted in the same way as in the comics, neither knowing why they did what they did, nor being able to follow the blueprint to the end.

The setting of this show is that this is a society where everyone has superpowers. The vast majority of people will gain their own superpowers after the age of 18, and only a very small number of people (such as Jane) do not know their destiny when they are old. Therefore, "the destiny is unknown" was logically used by her as an excuse for being lazy. Whenever life is unsatisfactory and she needs to face the question of whether she is ready to work for a lifetime, Jane will use her lack of superpowers as a shield. Her cohabiting best friend, Kelly (Sophia Oxnam), who works as a psychic in a law firm, although persuading her boyfriend Kesh to find a serious job, and she is also dissatisfied with her current situation, she has never seen her do real work. s hard work. On the back-to-school day, her former classmates thought she would become a lawyer, and the clinker was just a psychic and tea girl.

In the society in the play, superpowers are not a blessing (never have been), but rather a savage force that destroys talent or hinders human growth.

A person whose body acquires superpowers but whose mind can only follow others, is like that pet dog that has thoughts and can talk. When it begged to be free again, to run and hunt freely like its ancestors, the protagonists showed envious expressions and let it go free. A second later, there was a sound of sudden braking, and the puppy was sent back to the pet hospital. Screenwriters are very poisonous, and this is what happens to those with high eyesight and low abilities.

This kind of person is good at disheveled hair, and there are always lively and noisy things every day, but they are always under the constraints of rules and regulations. This generation of young people in the play has no rebellious spirit, and lives happily in accordance with certain terms. Even how dates and parties should be conducted and what to eat are all carried out under an invisible guide. Under the noise, lifeless. The spoof fun of British shit and farts condensed into a dark brown ass sticking out of the wall. But even the ass loses its fun, as the writers quickly deconstruct it through the mouth of the character, destroying the fun.

By all indications, Jen and her friends were having a rough time. They are like a group of small children who tried their best to evade the responsibilities of adults when they were young, and lived day by day. The head is not as simple as a child's, and it is full of all kinds of fragments of knowledge, so even the restricted-level jokes such as the brown butt on the wall cannot be laughed first. The chaotic thoughts first turned it into an abstract existence for analysis.

But even so, these satirized objects are still cuter than the group of show business people who cut seats with JK Rowling. At the very least, although they live in a muddle, at least they are still full of humanity and have the bottom line of being human. On more critical issues, if you work hard, you can still follow your inner feelings. Although these frustrated young people have been indoctrinated with the paste of political correctness, they will not stand for fame and fortune. Unlike those who are much brighter and smarter than them, even if they clarify in their hearts, in order to protect themselves, they can still do things that add insult to injury in a chilling air.

In addition to being extremely ironic, "Jane's Difference" is essentially a youth growth drama. The friendship between Jane and Kelly draws a line of ups and downs that must be passed from campus to society. They have recognized each other again, and they are still willing to work hard to keep the balance of friendship in balance. The selfish one cuts off the part that is too selfish, and the cowardly one learns to speak his heart.

Jane and Kelly also have their own romance. No matter whether the partner is a silly young man who can turn back time, or a man who can turn into a cat, he can't skip the basic steps of falling in love-listen to his own heart and tell the other party. At this point, there is not much difference between superpowers and ordinary people, but superpowers can create a little drama that is amazing.

Kelly wants to break up with her boyfriend Kashti, but the other party has already noticed it, and uses the superpower that can turn back time to repeatedly turn back time before Kaili speaks, making her unable to say the word of breaking up. He lasted a party for 28 hours, finally exhausted, and could no longer escape the word "breakup". Jane's would-be boyfriend, Ghislord (Luke Rollason), can transform between a man and a cat. When the party was over, she thought Ghislord had run off as a cat, meowing at the trash can in the rain to call him. These are the rare shimmering moments.

After watching this drama, I firmly believe how poisonous political correctness is. It not only classifies all things, points out the only correct path, but also deprives the pure and funny fun, and stretches its long tentacles below the surface, polluting interpretation and deep meaning. "Jane's Different", a drama that specifically satirizes political correctness and youth arrogance of the times, has also been polluted because of its satire, like a hollow easter egg. It seems to have a lot of connotations, but when you knock it open, it is very empty inside.

However, at the end of this season, the protagonists who have been mercilessly ridiculed have woken up, and the renewed next season may enter a more realistic stage of life. I hope so, because after all, it is rare to have such a British drama that dares to mock the wind.
