Wonderful character development!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

In truth, any opportunity to see the film on the big screen is welcome.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

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.

This show had so much potential going for it. The premise of the show is almost genius. However, there are some major flaws to the show.#1. it's just not funny. sitcoms should be funny, that's just how things work. #2. even though the supporting cast is superb, the characters are completely shallow cliché characters. Characters aren't organic in any way. its like the characters were sculpted with one intent in mind. #3. the star of the show, Vanessa Hudgens, is annoying. not in kind of the quirky cute way Zooey Deschanel is in New Girl. Just down right annoying. #4. this relates to #2, character development is non-existent because no development is needed. the characters are complete clichés and you know who they are top to bottom on day 1.there are some moments that made me chuckle, and i love that universe is built on top of the DC universe, but that's about it. the show is just not good. not horrible, but downright not good.

Very surprised to see the number of negative reviews. Sure there is room for improvement, but very few TV series are ever a 10/10 in their first season. Overall, the show's premise is novel (a commendable feat for the superhero genre) and offers great potential for interesting and funny plot lines (i.e. what do you do if you realize you're dating a super villain's henchman?). The cast is superb; and while there are few corny lines, overall it's an enjoyable show. I'm looking forward to watching the series develop (and hoping NBC gives it time to find its stride and fan base).
