negative · AI labelView post →I watched a couple of episodes of Chad Powers while I was cooking the other day, and then Hulu switched to some other show set in the South about a family of lawyers and I didn’t realize it was different for like 20 minutes. I had just assumed Chad Powers was introducing a new storyline.
neutral · AI labelView post →I am kind of a garbage tv completist (I don’t watch a lot of tv) so when I start something mindless, like while cooking, I generally just keep going no matter how bad it gets. They keep making Chad Powers episodes and the show is absolutely insane. And no one knows or cares.
negative · AI labelView post →Um at first I thought that Chad Powers show was funny but very problematic and then it took a hard turn into very fucking dark territory and I don't think it's a comedy at all or was supposed to be.
neutral · AI labelView post →Lmao this is absolutely Chad Powers in a nutshell. Clark Kent glasses ass costume. I actually like the show though! It's fun and I'll watch Steve Zahn play a college football coach anytime you ask

neutral · AI labelView post →Glen Powell is an American actor from Austin known for charismatic roles in Top Gun: Maverick, Hidden Figures, and Anyone But You. Rising from early TV and film work, he’s become a versatile leading man and co-creator of the comedy series Chad Powers.

neutral · AI labelView post →Hulu's "Chad Powers" doesn't work. Unless, it isn't supposed to work. In which case, it works, but not the way most casual viewers will probably want. Honestly, I'm not sure. Weirdly perplexed and ambivalent about this one. My review:
neutral · AI labelView post →"Chad Powers" on Hulu is a very, very stupid show and I'm enjoying it very, very much.

neutral · AI labelView post →Prob the best NEGATIVE review of Chad Powers is the Hollywood Reporter's, which makes accurate points about the show leaning way too hard sometimes on "look at this dumb character being dumb." May not be for you, I caution. But from my CFB lens I liked it www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-review...

neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a bummer that nobody is talking about Chad Powers, because it’s such a strangely fascinating show. It’s like every single decision they made was wrong. I want to talk about it endlessly.

neutral · AI labelView post →Well it's either the fault of Republicans or Hulu's fault for creating the Chad Powers show.
neutral · AI labelView post →Glen Powell the Writer's obsession with covering Glen Powell the Actor in latex and funny wigs continues with Hulu's "Chad Powers," a wholly unconvincing football-themed comedy that may, actually, be a cynical commentary on how unconvincing it is. Or not? I'm truly not sure. ICYMI, my review:

neutral · AI labelView post →Love Glen Powell and love football but put off watching CHAD POWERS because it looked like some saccharin sweet G-rated show made for kids. Two episodes in and it is definitely NOT that. In fact no parent should ever let their young kid watch the first episode. Enjoying the series.

neutral · AI labelView post →I read a review that said there is a really bizarre and borderline demented twist in the final episode of Chad Powers and that is literally the only reason I am trying to power through this show.
neutral · AI labelView post →On this topic: I started watching Chad Powers this weekend and was dismayed to learn that it’s a weekly release show, which means I would have to keep coming back to this show every week, and it’s not nearly good enough to justify that mental commitment.
negative · AI labelView post →Feel like I’ve seen Chad Powers advertisements since the damn Super Bowl 7 months ago and not a single one has made me want to watch that show.
negative · AI labelView post →We can discuss "Chad Powers" now. It's... fine. The six-episode first season is caught between being a thirteen-episode sitcom and a hundred-minute feature, and it does the premise no favours. But the cast is charming, the show has a surprising edge, and a really bold ending.
neutral · AI labelView post →The people who said the Chad Powers show was good were lying. It’s as bad as you think
negative · AI labelView post →I don't understand this Glen Powell Chad Powers show. The point of the Chad Powers sketch was that Chad was NFL superstar Eli Manning in disguise, wowing college coaches with his actual physical talent. Glen Powell, while handsome and charming, is NOT an NFL superstar
