The Big Picture

  • Powers, a 2015 show adapted from a comic series, attempted to put a procedural spin on the concept of a superhero program.
  • The show suffered from unfortunate timing, premiering one month before Marvel's Daredevil on Netflix, which overshadowed its popularity.
  • Powers was housed on the PlayStation Network, a platform that didn't have the same confidence as Netflix, preventing it from gaining wider attention.
