Chad Powers

I am not a football fan, but I am a huge fan of off-beat, quirky humour that's physical and has a message. Glen Powell is the embodiment of all of that and carries this show seamlessly. The supporting cast, especially Steve Zahn and Perry Mattfeld, work a magic that is seldom seen in comedy. This is pure joy to watch, and it invigorates the soul in a subtle, yet poignant way. Long may this unexpected gem continue!

First episode in and loving it. Funny, witty and I predict the rest of the show will have a lot of heart. Glen Powell knows what the people want. Doesn't take himself too seriously and gives the audience a character full of modern day flaws we can laugh at but also a character we can see grow........

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.

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 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.
