Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I really liked this show. For the simple fact that it did not take itself seriously and had a really nice twist on the genre. This is just the kind of thing that I can relax to in a see full of copies and rip-offs. But it has just enough heart to it. I liked how they played around with the heroes and villains as well.

I just want to say, I like "expanding the universe" stories. A show about the DC universe that isn't about a certain super hero or super hero accomplice (like, if there was an Alfred TV show) has a lot going for it. We could see how people deal with living in a world of super heroes, and all the craziness that goes along with that. I would say "it writes itself," but apparently, that isn't the case.Unfortunately, most of the episodes are normal "office shenanigans" plots with passing mentions to there being super heroes (getting left out of the fantasy sports/superhero league, missing the office vacation because they're stuck in the office, getting to involved in your coworker's personal life, etc.). You spend all this money acquiring the license to the DC universe, and do barely anything with it. They work for a division of Wayne enterprises and the head of their division is a Wayne for peats sake, but there's hardly any Batman/Bruce Wayne references.The best episode was Green Furious, because it really used the super hero aspect. Granted, the story could have been done with a "celebrity," but instead of being a "passing reference," it really used the concept of "I live in a world with super heroes." The second would probably be "Emily Dates a Henchman" as it also really plays with the idea of "this takes place in a world of super heroes, and this is a real possibility." To go back to what I said earlier, maybe they were going for a "life is just normal for normal people, even in the world of super heroes." If that was the case, they made it TOO normal by using normal problems. Man Seeking Woman did the whole "this strange world is normal to our characters" better since they did absurd situations and everyone reacted like it's just a normal Thursday. I'm not saying I want "a super hero show," I just want my show that is set in a world of super heroes, to actually use that concept.

Cancelled,?Its truly a shame this show had so much potential. Separating itself from all the heaviness in the dc world and marvels TV show it actually brought a different perspective and silliness comic-book movies and shows are lacking.,was it perfect no but the ingredients were there to make a really good funny show with heart and as a comic book fan who is powerless wondered how normal or not so normal people worked around chaos that superhero n villains create .its such a shame i hope somehow it can be picked up by some other network

Powerless is DC's first comedy series as well as I'm aware. Unfortunately for the show it's not very funny. The concept is cool and it works in theory but it's just written poorly. You can relate to a lot of the characters in some way or another. Most of them admire super heroes and as excited as they are to see them they just want to live their normal lives. This is how life would probably be if we lived in a world with super heroes and we didn't have any ourselves. The characters are winy and poorly written though. In the more recent episodes the writing seems better and the jokes are funnier. As of right now Powerless seems mediocre.
