Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
Amelia Lachlan This show is about two kids named Mark and Song-Li, who have supernatural powers. Mark can move things with his mind and he can also read minds, while Song-Li can pick up on people's feelings and read psychic vibrations. Both are telepathic. They are being studied by Professor Henry Powers to see why they have these powers and how you get them, but they also use them on adventures to save other people. This is probably one of the best children's shows made in the UK, because it has new appeal, unlike some of the other shows. Definitely should be watched! This show is aimed mostly at kids between the ages of 9-14, possibly even 15.
AngelTrisha9 Powers is an excellent kids drama that appeals to kids and grown-ups alike. The story revolves around the four leads but mostly around the two teenager: Mark(Who can read minds and make objects move) and Song Li(Who reads feelings and have visions when she touches objects that contain an emotion. In proper frame of feelings, she can also move things with her mind.) To help them are Professor Henry Powers who's a straight, no non-sense (!) paranormal researcher! And Dr. Mary Holland, who was the professor first subject and is now precious help in his investigation. Using the kids abilities, they research unexplained phenomenons that ranges as wide as spirits, dreams, aliens, time loops, etc. The stories are well crafted and the special effects are well done without being over the top and drowning the story. The characters are also well defined and real. The actors were extremely well chosen for they can act the drama as well as the comical without any tress at all. They always make it believable even if sometimes the story might seems not quite as good as it could be.The only point that would be bad about it is the 25 minutes running time. It's way too short to explore the potential of the story. On some stories, the characters have to make some incredible leap of logic to solve the problem. But considering it's a kids show, I do realize that a longer running time would allow their mind to wander and channel search: NOT what we want!All in all Powers is a very good show and I can't wait for series two. (There as to be one!) Special mention to Mandana Jones, who portrays Mary Holland with the talent we know she has and she is fantastic in her mother hen role! And beautiful as always! great to see her back regularly on tv!
