Synopsis

Two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, referred to as “Powers.” Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, Powers asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren't actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals?

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
Some GuyonMaui I had a hard time getting into this show, it started a little slow, and seemed a little low-budget for my taste. I like that it's not all laid out for us though, it makes you wonder, makes you think.I am pretty sure we still don't really know much about what Diamond's powers were, other than he could at one point, fly. Season 1 got better and better as it went, and the tiny little Russian (30 year old) beauty kept me pretty interested, and continues to. I dare say I'd climb a mile over broken glass to get near her. Season 2, as with many series' these days, got the introduction of Boobs, which is always a plus for me, because sex is for most of us, a primary motivator. The near constant expletives make the show more real as well. We all f**king swear, usually far too much, but that's life.As with most shows, the fewer mainstream stars, the better. I find it hard to believe in shows that use actors that I saw an hour ago on CSI or the like. I wish more shows would diversify and use new blood more, it's tiring to see the same old faces all the time. That said, it was great to see Michelle Forbes again, even without her mole.
wolfspawn-39318 I had to write a review here, after reading all the reviews of this series. Everybody is suddenly an expert on all things, acting, scripts, etcetera. I am a viewer and i enjoy things from that perspective. This series has promise, i like the way they look at superheroes or powered people. I've seen heroes and all the other superhero series, but this an unique view on the genre. In the reviews of American based viewers they speak of cursing and saying the F word, i don't mind this, but in other countries we think differently. So that's no problem for me. I watched the first season and liked it a lot. Now watching the second season and it's getting better each episode. And hey, just don't read reviews too much. Judge for your self.
Cristiantel I started to watch this series hopping to something Heroes-like but after few episodes I considered it more s**t-like! Comic-book characters, comic-book acting, comic-book FX, comic-book script. Actually, almost everything is like a stupid comic book made for stupid kids! Oh, sorry kids, you are not stupid, you are just kids, but this series suppose to be made mainly for adults. I suppose... I found difficult to follow the plot. Everything look so complicate, many of the dialogs are full of useless "deep" thoughts and cheap philosophy, like trying to make from a nice, simple, refreshing comic book movie a psychological thriller. The action scenes are unpredictable and quite irrational, simple and usually fast decisions are made very hard and in a complicated manner. As conclusion, for me was a totally waste of time. Three stars for I am the generous kind!
Narce I have now watched the first 5 episodes of this show, and I have to say that it's not really grabbing me. There are too many things that seem to refer to something outside the series, which remains unexplained. Perhaps viewers are expected to read the graphic novel first, but that doesn't really seem to help, as the back-stories are completely different.For example, (**spoilers**) we are told several times that Wolff "ate" Diamond's powers, but no such thing happened in the novel. In Episode 5 of the series, we are subjected to several "flashbacks" (or maybe hallucinations) that show Diamond and Wolff, Diamond and a young Wolff, and the two of them with a young girl cowering in the grassy field where all this is taking place. I have no idea what any of this is supposed to mean, except that (in the series) Diamond and Wolff have been linked because Diamond took a drug made from Wolff's blood. And considering that, in the graphic novels, Diamond and Wolff have known each other (and fought each other) for thousands of years, none of it really makes any sense.I get the feeling that the show was made for some sort of rabid fan, but I don't know of what. Playstations? The graphic novels? Superheroes in general? Whatever the answer, I guess I'm not one of them.
