Saying something is droll and Irish is a 100% oxymoron. But Extra Ordinary
is really special comedy coming from among others the fertile creative brain
of its star Maeve Higgins. On this side of the pond no one will know from Higgins or
any of the other cast members and that's a pity.
Higgins stars and had a hand in the writing owns and operates a driving school, but at one time she was a psychic in communication with the dead spirits. She gave that up because there were too many variables and unintended consequences to deal with.
But one of her customers for driving lessons has a bigger problem. His daughter is in suspended animation at the behest of the Prince of Darkness to be offered up as a virgin sacrifice.
The one who's made a deal with the devil is a former rock star, having that status because he was a one hit wonder. Now a C status celebrity he yearns for fame and an entourage. So he and old Scratch have struck a bargain for one virgin to be delivered at the appointed hour.
I have to say that Extra Ordinary drags a bit in the middle, but the last 20 minutes are excruciatingly funny, not to be missed.
If this deal can be worked, can the career of Milli Vanilli be revived?
