Chad Powers

I put this show on just to kill time and ended up watching all 4 episodes that are currently available. Glenn Powell is proving to be a star in any role you put him in and he's great in this. Half way through the second episode it seems as though the show is gonna fall off because there's only so much you can do with this character but then episode 3 and 4 were great and has me excited for the next one. It's clearly a dumb show but it knows that and takes it in stride. Check it out.

Yes, I'm British so I don't get all the references and I have no interest in NFL, so what?

It's funny, it's not subtle.

People complained about the swearing, I genuinely didn't notice.

The cancer kid is a prop, it's not about cancer, it's about Chad's lack of humanity.

Anyone who criticises because "he'd be found out straight away" must think this is a documentary. It's not supposed to be realistic, that's part of the comedy.

People who give this 1 out of 10 don't understand ratings. You don't like it, but it isn't bad.

A slightly cringe comedy with some heart and good messages, the opening 2 episodes set the tone going forward, you'll laugh, you might cry, you'll def say oof and cringe at some of the stuff.

It's a bit on the nose at times with the drama, and it's def referencing other works, but with a guy in make up with a helpfull new friend to fix it when things go wrong is very mrs doubtfire, and the struggling football star/ team/ coach does feel a bit like draft day.

As for haley welch, she's playing her self and being serious for a change.

Acting feels mostly on point, glenn gets to let loose from being a complete d bag to being a nice guy.

Some things stretch the believability too thin but it's a comedy and a redemption story.

I've laughed out loud more times watching the first three episodes of this show than I have watching any other show since East Bound & Down. Glen Powell's ability to transform from Russ Holliday into Chad Power's and back, is as impressive as it is funny. Great cast overall, incredibly funny show. Cannot wait until the next episode.

Chad Powers is even better than I expected and a big reason for that is because of its star, Glen Powell. Powell is Hollywood's new star actor. He's the current "it" person where everyone wants him in there movies/shows. He was just in a couple huge hits in the last year or two in movies like Top Gun: Maverick, Twisters, Hit Man, Anyone But You and a few others. He's in another blockbuster this winter in a remake of The Running Man. He's everywhere, which makes it unexpected that he would do a tv show. He said he did because he loved the script and he wasn't wrong. He's already proven he could do action, drama and romance and now comedy too. Get used to seeing Powell's face because you're going to be seeing a lot of it.
