Just perfect...

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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.

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.

I wanted to like this so much...I thought the premise sounded good. However, there's not enough 'superhero' action at all, and the show really drags. It's one flat joke after another. It's like someone making raunchy jokes and then explaining them to you...ugh. I watched several episodes and didn't laugh once. There's nothing incredibly original here either, and the characters are overly stereotypical.There's also quite the liberal bias in the writing. An election joke about the electoral college? Really??? Do they not realize that they're alienating half the country with nasty little jokes like that? Am I watching SNL here? And the constant 'oh, you can't say that to a black man' cliché. Terrible. Guys, slavery has been over for 150 years. I'm sure the average black person would not immediately jump to 'racist! racist!' at someone making a whipping sound at everyone in response to 'whips them into shape' and 'I own you!' when winning at a game. Pathetic attempt at humor. Not even worth giving this show a chance. There are so many actually funny shows worth watching (like Angie Tribeca) that this will just be a waste of your time.

I like the way it is .. making fun of the whole DC comics thing because there are just too much of that already. Almost every day, there is something related to DC Comics, TV and movies! Like yeah, i know they make money but do you have to redo every character every year? (ie. spiderman, batman, superman) This show makes fun of them all and it has that Office feel to it (except the main characters are much more likable than The Office).
