Powerless: Should the NBC Series Be Cancelled or Renewed for Season Two?

Does Powerless have any staying power? The NBC TV series is currently in the middle of its first season, but will there be a second? What do you think? Should the show be cancelled or renewed?

Part of the DC Comics universe, the Powerless TV show follows Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens). She’s the new Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a company that specializes in helping regular people feel a bit safer in a world of superheroes and villains. Emily’s full of confidence and has big ideas but she quickly discovers those are a bit beyond her new boss, Vanderveer “Van” Wayne (Alan Tudyk), the black sheep of his family. Her well-meaning officemates include Chief Design Officer Teddy (Danny Pudi), Chief Engineer Ron (Ron Funches), and Jackie (Christina Kirk), Van Wayne’s beleaguered and long-suffering executive assistant.

Powerless premiered in February to low ratings, and the numbers have fallen ever since. So far, season one is averaging a 0.74 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.37 million viewers, making it one of NBC’s lowest-rated series for the 2016-2017 season.

Earlier, NBC boss Jennifer Salke said the network supported the show. However, days later, NBC pulled a new episode of Powerless and replaced it with a rerun of Trial & Error. A renewal seems highly unlikely.

Do you think the series should be cancelled or renewed for season two? Please take our poll tell us what you think.

I believe the network destroyed the show. I am sure Vanessa would improve with time. Dani is amazing. Given time is could have been something like park & rec. They cancelled it without giving it a chance.

I thought this would be pretty weak, but I’ve been surprised at how much I laugh at it. It actually is a sit-COM, unlike most of today’s not-funny half-hour shows. 🙂

Not that great show. Even Smallville and the current tv show The flash is better. I feel like its not taking the drama seriously at times with the super villans. Please cancel it.

Huh? Are you talking about the same “Powerless” that I’ve seen on NBC, because the premise described here is way off base. From http://www.nbc.com/powerless?nbc=1: “In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of superheroes and supervillains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer…” It’s zany and irreverent, and I can definitely see how it might be an acquired taste, but it’s a fun, lighthearted comedy that doesn’t seem to take… Read more »

Thanks for the comment. They apparently changed a portion of the premise but the press materials weren’t updated.

I love it. Superhero shows are often full of themselves. This one pokes irreverent fun at the genre. I think it’s hilarious. Would love a season 2.
