They are going to have to bring in something new or I'm not going to get through this. The first few episodes were good and it seems to have legs but the cheesy special effects and silliness are starting to wear on me. We've seen it before in HEROES and others ... powers walk among us. There is a police force that deals with them. I'm interested in seeing how it plays out but am I 20 hours of my life interested?

This show easily became one of my favorite shows. The fact that PlayStation cancelled it means I'll never own another Sony product as long as I live!!! That's how much I serious!y loved this show. Yes the first few episodes were kind of slow...... But my GOD if it didn't feel me in!!!! I pray that Netflix or some other group picks this show up..... I loved the different ways that Walker portrayed himself throughout the series!!!!! I am definitely going for the comic books!!! Please Bring POWERS Back. I don't see why this was even cancelled, it seems that this is the year for good shows to be cancelled, how about keeping the shows people love, the Simpsons didn't get to where it is because it was cut short.

Glad I watched it! Sharito Copley as Christian Walker is superb. At first I was skeptical, thinking, how the main protagonist can fight all these powers without having powers himself? But that's one of many underlying themes of this show, power does not come from lifting things in the air, flying or teleporting yourself, it comes from strength of the character and its moral fiber. And I am not talking about moral fiber were you have to follow the society rules blindly (Walker breaks many of those), but more about the inside feeling, conviction of what is right and wrong even if everybody else says otherwise. And that's what Walker stands for, the integrity of his beliefs. He walks the talk. The other actors are on par with Sharito Copley. Noah Taylor who plays Johnny Royalle (what a great name!!!), reminds me a little of Deep Throat from X-files, with his constant chain smoking. But how fitting that is, with his power of teleportation, poof, and he's gone, like a smoke. Watching him, you can't shake the question, 'Is he a bad or a good guy?' This duality is played by almost every character in the show, but Johnny Royalle nails it perfectly. Deena Pilgrim (played by Susan Heyward), like her name suggests, is taking a journey, more like a passenger than a driver, but such a wonderful counterbalance to Walker, holding him back just a little, so that his character won't seem to us crazy or overblown. Well, I won't rattle on anymore, every character is fleshed out, the dialogue is not copy pasted or cliché like in other shows, and it's just a great and fun show to watch. Enjoy!

I started to watch this series hopping to something Heroes-like but after few episodes I considered it more s**t-like! Comic-book characters, comic-book acting, comic-book FX, comic-book script. Actually, almost everything is like a stupid comic book made for stupid kids! Oh, sorry kids, you are not stupid, you are just kids, but this series suppose to be made mainly for adults. I suppose... I found difficult to follow the plot. Everything look so complicate, many of the dialogs are full of useless "deep" thoughts and cheap philosophy, like trying to make from a nice, simple, refreshing comic book movie a psychological thriller. The action scenes are unpredictable and quite irrational, simple and usually fast decisions are made very hard and in a complicated manner. As conclusion, for me was a totally waste of time. Three stars for I am the generous kind!
