Powers (2015–2016)
7/10
Slow start, a little odd, but some mystique goes a long way
3 July 2016
I had a hard time getting into this show, it started a little slow, and seemed a little low-budget for my taste. I like that it's not all laid out for us though, it makes you wonder, makes you think.

I am pretty sure we still don't really know much about what Diamond's powers were, other than he could at one point, fly. Season 1 got better and better as it went, and the tiny little Russian (30 year old) beauty kept me pretty interested, and continues to. I dare say I'd climb a mile over broken glass to get near her. Season 2, as with many series' these days, got the introduction of Boobs, which is always a plus for me, because sex is for most of us, a primary motivator. The near constant expletives make the show more real as well. We all f**king swear, usually far too much, but that's life.

As with most shows, the fewer mainstream stars, the better. I find it hard to believe in shows that use actors that I saw an hour ago on CSI or the like. I wish more shows would diversify and use new blood more, it's tiring to see the same old faces all the time. That said, it was great to see Michelle Forbes again, even without her mole.
