I've watched the first three episodes online for free on NBC's web site. The show has its moments, but I don't plan to watch any more episodes for the same reason that I never got into Seinfeld -- when I watch a show, I want there to be at least one sympathetic character I can relate to. Every single character on Powerless is lazy, lying, scheming, self-centered, mean, or -- more often -- several of the above. And to be honest, much of the humour struck me as just plain dumb. The show is definitely not a good use of my limited free time. But tastes differ and your mileage may vary. The good news is that NBC is making the show available for free on its site, so you lose nothing by giving it a try.
Joy,
Lynn
