Season 1 Reviews
The Ringer
Alison Herman
Powerless uses one of the highest-concept hooks on the market to smuggle in one of the lowest-concept and dependable dynamics television has to offer. The resulting hybrid has some of the best of both worlds.
Washington Post
Powerless is a key ingredient or two away from rising above the clutch of comic book-inspired TV. All it might need is that splash of acid. Because it's got spark. And we don't hate spark.
Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
There's at least an inkling in Powerless that it could be a nice diversion from the superhero onslaught that has expanded from the big screen to the small in recent years.
AV Club
Dennis Perkins
Living in a world teeming with superheroes is something of a bummer in Powerless, the briskly fun new DC Comics TV series.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
It's a pleasant show, a little on the old-fashioned side formally.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Jen Chaney
That's exactly where this show is, too: in beta, but maybe almost ready to launch.
New York Times
Mike Hale
It's quirky and pleasant but not terribly funny, and the comic situations are standard office sitcom.
Entertainment Weekly
Shirley Li
What's keeping Powerless from flying up, up, and away isn't the performances; its unevenness is more likely caused by the hoops the series has had to jump through since getting a pilot order from the Peacock.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
There are several clever touches, like having Marc McClure (Jimmy Olsen in the Christopher Reeve Superman movies) play Emily's dad, and together with the premise they're enough to merit giving the show another chance.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
If Powerless intends to be an actual comedy, as opposed to a harmless way to wile away a half-hour, it needs to give them something to do that counts as funny. So far, whatever powers... on display, the power to make us laugh isn't one of them.
Orlando Sentinel
Hal Boedeker
The actors do wonders with their flimsy roles, and the special effects are impressive. But the repetitive Powerless lives down to its title, and the violent ends for smushed onlookers is unsettling, not funny.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
Unfortunately, the pilot episode (the only one shown to critics) loses its spark after an entertaining opening theme sequence.
AV Club
Danette Chavez
The workplace comedy will have to be dialed up in the long run to maintain interest. But with Pudi and Tudyk -- and even Hudgens -- at the ready, that shouldn't be a superhuman feat for Powerless.
Collider
Allison Keene
It seems worth finding out how the group will continue to protect the hapless residents of this "godforsaken taint of a city" not as superheroes, but as regular folks - a lesson that feels more powerful than ever.
San Francisco Chronicle
David Wiegand
The less said, the better.
Uproxx
Alan Sepinwall
With so many DC/Marvel series telling the same kinds of stories, in the same angst-ridden fashion, there's certainly room for a show like Powerless. But we may need to wait a while to see if it can live up to the promise of those opening credits.
Newsday
Verne Gay
Funny idea that doesn't quite attain the level of "funny show," but a good cast along with a few good lines indicate this superhero sendup will eventually get there.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
While I'm a little worried that Powerless will repeat jokes, I'm more hopeful that the world of superheroes will just become background to a clever workplace comedy.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Ellen Gray
It has a good cast, though, and for all its comic-book trappings, its effort to find some fun in a fickle economy could make it a a good fit with its lead-in, NBC's already terrific Superstore.
Variety
Sonia Saraiya
There's a light, nimble humor to the show's treatment of superpowers and heroic antics - a much needed respite from the angst and self-seriousness of so many superheroes on the small-screen, who are all so fixated on saving the world.
