Premiers March 10 on the Playstation Network. Created by Brian Michael Bendis and starring Sharlto Copley, it's about a detective who had his powers taken and now investigates cases involving superheroes and supervillains.

Anybody else excited about this?

Robtard
Never heard of it until now. I do like Sharlto Copley sometimes and the premise seems promising enough to warrant watching the first ep.

No PSN though, so I'll prob just download it when the season is over. Thanks for the info thumb up

episode is free on IGN apparently

PlayStation's Powers - Season 1 Trailer:

Finally! The day has arrived. This trailer reminds me a bit of the time I saw the first episode of Heroes. I just get a feeling we might be on to something good here...

Dreampanther
Great news! PlayStation has uploaded the first episode to YouTube so it's free to watch for everyone.

I have a PS4 with Playstation Plus.

Is that, like, a bonus feature?

marwash22
oh.

probably. I have to wait for people to rip and upload the eps so i can dl them. eps 1 and 2 are up.

marwash22
watched ep.1. the production values are kinda weak, but it was decent enough.

This black chick is annoying as phuck.

Hopefully, she is brutally murdered.

Dreampanther
Finally. Managed to see the first three episodes. So far, not disappointed!

Strong points: Sharlto Copley and Eddie Izzard. As well as the guy who plays Royale. Copley is convincing as a guy who had it all and lost it, yet deep down still wants to be a hero and save people. Eddie Izzard's character, Wolf, actually scares me. Once he gets loose, I think we are going to see why everybody fears him so much. Royale is one of the most interesting characters, for me. He reminds me a bit of Boyd from Justified - a character who absolutely fascinates me.

Weak points. The little blonde girl annoys me. Wannabe is a pretty good description. However, I'm prepared to wait and see where they go with her. I also don't think the partner is very convincing yet. I keep on waiting for more - guess I'll have to wait and see about her as well.

I like the show so far. Kinda like a darker, grittier Heroes. Will have to see next week, but yes, as of now, count me as a fan.

Dreampanther
Tomorrow - more Powers! And I just want to add a special sarcastic thank you to everybody involved in the decision to exclude anyone who doesn't live in America from watching this show. You are obviously geniuses.

Impediment
The newest episode was amazingly brutal and fast paced. I loved every second of it.

Dreampanther
Aaaaaaaargh! How long before I see it too!?

Next Tuesday needs to be here NOW!

BlackZero30x
Watched the first 2 episodes and so far so good! I'll catch up on the next 2 tonight.

Dreampanther
Yes! Saw episode 4 tonight. All I can say is: Daaaaamn. I think Impediment said it best - it's brutal, relentless and I just wish I could watch more right now. Forty minutes flew by in what felt like four. Big up to a show that is unashamedly gory and bloody - and makes an effort to make the characters interesting.

I am still not sure about Retro Girl, just don't know where they are going with her. Apparently she was killed in the original comic books, so I am assuming this is new territory for the writers as well. Wannabe girl still annoys me, but less so, and at least she didn't feature much.

Christian still rocks, Royale is still an x-factor and Wolfe... Well, like he said: "I am power!" Come on, next week!

Impediment
My only gripe is: Where the f*ck is Johnny Royale headed with his relationship with Calista? Hero? Villain? Make up your goddamn mind!

Impediment
I agree, but I do kinda see some kind of brother/sister relationship forming.

Dreampanther
New Powers tonight!

Happy Dance Happy Dance Happy Dance

Impediment
Tonight! I've got some Samuel Adams chilling in the fridge for tonight's episode.

Dreampanther
I won't be able to see it before tomorrow night. Not living in the U.S. I have to sneak around to see it.

sad sad sad

Dreampanther
Now THAT'S how you make a superhero show. From now on, THAT'S how everybody should make a superhero show.

Impediment
I've been working non-stop and haven't had time to watch this week's episode!!

Hopefully, I'll get to watch tonight.

Dreampanther
If you liked last week's episode, I think you will love this week's. Even more action and violence. More like a 40 minute fight with a pause every now and again to take a breath. I thought it was awesome.

Impediment
I'm behind on Powers. Gonna watch the newest episode today.

TheVaultDweller
I finished watching all of this. Overall, I enjoyed it, even though there were a few plot lines and characters I really didn't care for. Christian, Johnny Royalle and Wolf were all great, but people like Retro Girl, Calista etc. were characters I really didn't care for at all.

Actually been trying to come up with a VS match for Royalle, but no idea who would be a good opponent for that guy. He is pretty OP for a teleporter.

Robtard
Downloading Ep2-10 now thumb up

Robtard
Enjoyed Season 1; looking forward to Season 2.

-Release date is 5/31/16

-Michael Madsen and Tricia Helfer join the cast in prominent roles

Surtur
Yeah, I'm surprised FX didn't want to pick up this show. I actually enjoyed it better then Daredevil or Jessica Jones.

Surtur

5/31, looking forward to it

Surtur
Great first episode of the season, looks like shit will hit the fan this season.

Though one thing that confuses me..what were Christians powers when he had powers? He is made out like he was one of the more powerful heroes, but it almost sounds like his only power was flight. I don't understand why that made him such a heavy hitter?

Robtard
Going to wait until the season is over and then binge watch it.

I thought he had flight, super-strength and some form of invulnerability?

Surtur
I don't know if he had invulnerability or not. When he threw himself off his balcony as a teen and refused use his flight to save himself he had to be saved by Johnny Royale. Though it could be he's durable, just not that durable.

I also wonder who killed Crispin? There is no way I think he killed himself. You don't call someone and ask for help if you're about to kill yourself. I'm guessing whoever killed Retro Girl killed Crispin and since he was already a suspect in her death people will just assume he did it and he's not around to refute it now.

Surtur
New season is coming along great. Not as much Michael Madsen as I would of liked so far, but then the season is only half over.

Surtur
Nooooo! Triphammer is dead, damn. I liked him

Surtur
Calista and Zora both call Walker an ass hole, but unless I missed something he has shown them nothing but kindness.

Anyways, I'm not exactly sure how long the lifespan of a power is supposed to be. Retro Girl was well over 100 years old when she died.

I'm liking this season a lot more than the 1st. I love the fact that Wil Wheaton was murdered and literally nobody cared.

Nibedicus
Just binge watched this series the entire week all the way to S2E9. Loving this series so far, can't wait for Season finale next week.

Surtur
Yep and I'm almost wondering if...Super Shock and Morrison are somehow one in the same, sort of like The Sentry and The Void.

Darth Thor
Have this show on my "to watch" list.

Surtur
The first season was truly spectacular(who knew Eddie Izzard could be a good super villain?) but this next one managed to surpass it.

The very first episode of the first season is still up on youtube for free for anyone who wants to give it a chance.

Dreampanther
This show just gets better and better.

Surtur
Tomorrow I'll be watching the season finale, let's hope somebody gets their head punched off.

Surtur
Damn that was one hell of a finale. Pilgrim going a bit nuts was genuinely creepy, and she must of gotten one hell of a powerset to survive getting her heart torn out.

I also enjoyed the use of super speed in the final fight, nice to see the characters remember they have it. Also beginning to wonder if Walker was right when he said he was getting his powers back. Yes he obviously survived the sun due to..whatever force we saw at the end, but notice he wasn't killed by the extreme heat from leaving the planets atmosphere?

I like how the show is able to blend humor into the story.

Dreampanther
Ah, dammit - it's been cancelled.

Surtur
*Sigh* It's always the good shows that get cancelled.
