Powers the comic book show from PlayStation, with Sharlto Copley got off to a shaky start.
Thankfully, it improved over time…
Warning: this article begins spoiler-free for those yet to watchPowers, but features signposted spoilers later on.

Ignoring the hugely enjoyable events ofWho Killed Retro Girl?
My opinion greatly shifted at that point in the run.
Also they thankfully never brought back Walkers imaginary hauntings by Wolfe, which is another bonus.
For the most part, Huston embraced the darker stuff.
Sharlto Copley handled this morally questionable material well, with a truly creepy Sway-induced red-eyed version of his character.
It was an emotional sequence, and nowhere near the low standards of those disappointing opening episodes.
Michelle Forbes will be missed, though.
The same cant always be said of superhero shows, so you have to applaud that.
But all that could have fallen apart with a dodgy finale.
ThePowersseason 1 finale however, was arguably one of its best episodes.
There was also the dark tone thatPowerseventually decided on.
Wolfe killed/seriously injured a lot of people in this episode, after all.
The latter of whom had one heck of an arc from joint-lead-villain to sort-of hero.
Hes the one taking all the credit after all.
All things considered,Powerswas far from perfect.
The show may not survive another slow start.
The writers probably shouldnt fanny around with timelines unless its really necessary episode 9 was more confusion that entertainment.
Additionally, Sony needs to sort out a proper worldwide release.
Hopefully, though,Powerswill gather the cult following it deserves and continue to grow.
Fingers crossed that it wont just be here and gone.
