    Robin Williams Smiles!!

    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!

    Funniest show of the year

    Chad Powers is what we all needed. The funny thing is just like Ted Lasso, this was based on a real ESPN gag and the world is all the better for it. Glen Powell absolutely crushes it as Chad. I've found myself belly laughing numerous times. The supporting cast is also outstanding. I will be looking forward to Tuesday nights just to watch this. May be my favorite show of the year. If you need an uplifting comedy look no further than Chad Powers.

    Extremely Funny

    I've laughed out loud more times watching the first three episodes of this show than I have watching any other show since East Bound & Down. Glen Powell's ability to transform from Russ Holliday into Chad Power's and back, is as impressive as it is funny. Great cast overall, incredibly funny show. Cannot wait until the next episode.

    Just thru the first episode and I'm laughing

    I love it.. just started episode 2. It's adorable and fun and enjoyable. It's great to have Steve Zahn back and a lot of fun to see Glen Powell taking a role where he downplays his beautiful looks. And he carries it off very well. I like the supporting actors a lot and I'm really looking forward to the entire season. I needed something light and fun and I think this is going to be my favorite comedy for the season.

    Glen Powell is Hollywood's next big star

    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.
