Based on the comic book, wont give you a synopsis, but here's the trailer

I'm looking forward to it (At least till Heroes : Reborn)

Reviews are saying the first episode is bit crap but it much gets better over the next few.

ZXSpectrum · 10 Mar 2015 at 20:54

That looks good I take it that its a series you have to pay for on psn like Amazon or Netflix?

Loved the comic but don't have PSN so I'll have to wait.

HighlandeR · 10 Mar 2015 at 21:06

uuggg hate it when shows start off with a cop or law guy.....

Looks a bit like heroes, naturally will give it a go for first few eps if not season 1

I dont have PSN but I watched it

It was bloody good too and quite violent, but love me a bit of Izzard.

I can't imagine many things more frustrating than trying to watch a video over the PS3's shoddy wifi connection.

ZXSpectrum · 14 Mar 2015 at 13:02

Wow Michelle Forbes still looks fantastic!

half way through the first. It's pretty awful but in a good way. Not in the, its so bad its awfully good / hillarious. More so it's not really taking its self too seriously which is quite important i think though saying that it seems to be getting better the further into the episode it gets

Yeah I agree. It's weird, not like heroes who tried real hard to be edgy and missed, this just sacks that off and goes full cheese. Like when you were a kid and you wished you could fly or be strong, you'd act the same way as this does. I like it.

Few more episodes came out over the past couple of days. It's getting quite dark.

I like it. Something about it

NexusK · 21 Mar 2015 at 15:03

Me too. I think it's the contrast it has against the other current hero type shows like The Flash and Arrow. Arrow started off as though it would head down a darker road but has ended up more soapy.

This one feels like it belongs on a cable channel .

Probably cheap to make as well, where heros went for the flashyness, and drama. The teleporting in this is more like what you'd expect, no ripples or anything just gone!
I still can't quite put my finger on why I think it's good, it just is.

This weeks episode was pretty good, I was saying before how powers does not show much powers but this episode brang much needed action to this show.

I like the acting and the characters and hopefully better things to come, few more episodes left shame its an 10 episode run !

it does get really rather dark

Yeah the original material from the comics was dark, it not your typical superhero series nor as serious as Superman, Batman, Flash or Arrow. It is closer to Marshal Law (now that be a good tv series) where heroes are the norm like everyday life and the focus is on the characters on their struggle to deal with them.

If it follows the comic book it get really interesting

R3X · 10 Apr 2015 at 14:14

Its an interesting show I like it, am surprised many people have not discussed this show its a different take on the whole hero vibe.

Exactly

NexusK · 10 Apr 2015 at 20:30

Probably because it doesn't have much coverage. People are only watching it on the PSN network or via 'other' means.
