Critic Reviews

Ken Tucker

Mar 10, 2015

Season 1 Review: Powers gives you the slam-bang super-hero action you want, as well as the hard-boiled tone many cop shows aim for and seldom attain. Read full review

Geoff Berkshire

Mar 9, 2015

Season 1 Review: Instead of gratuitous thrills, the creatives--also including Remi Aubuchon (“Caprica”) and Michael Dinner (“Justified”)--emphasize story, with enough twists and turns in each episode to keep the target audience hooked. Read full review

Jason Hughes

Mar 10, 2015

Season 1 Review: It is a refreshing amalgamation of the two genres that creates a fascinating exploration into the world of four-color comics by imagining what it might really be like to live among costumed superheroes and villains. Read full review

Mike Hale

Mar 9, 2015

Season 1 Review: [The cast] all do their best to provide what every comic-book adaptation needs and so few achieve, which is a little soul, some human substance at the core. Powers shows occasional, fitful signs of that kind of life, though in the long run it may be just too threadbare to get there. Read full review

Joshua Rivera

Season 1 Review: For all its adult-oriented leanings and gritty realism, Powers lacks the one thing that its comic-book counterpart has in spades: style. [13 Mar 2015, p.64]

Collider Evan Valentine

May 31, 2016

Season 2 Review: Powers needs focus, and it needs to understand what works and what doesn’t for their characters. The series has done a better job of juggling its characters and themes this season, but it still can’t come close to what we’ve been seeing with Marvel’s Netflix foray or CW’s The Flash.

Maureen Ryan

Mar 10, 2015

Season 1 Review: The actors have no chemistry together and their characters lack the kind of depth and texture that a well-crafted TV project would have been able to give them. Various actors frequently have to deliver painful exposition dumps, the storytelling is often incoherent. Read full review
