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.

Lets keep this short by addressing the biggest issue with the show. There is not one likable character. There are plenty of other issues, but this is a big enough one to warrant not watching any more. I would recommend skipping Powerless.I give it 2 potatoes.

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).
