“Powers” is an edgy dramatic series that follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, referred to as Powers. Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, “Powers” asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace with these over-paid, commercialized, god-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
The female lead is irritating to say the least and they stick too much to the comic medium, that shitty costumes.
Overall it has that cheesy 90's feel to it. But it has Eddie Izzard as the baddie, so I might stick with it for a while even if it is mediocre right now.

Don't remember too much about the costumes but they've completely changed the personalities of the main characters and in the case of the female lead, changed her ethnicity.
This is too far removed from the comics even more than TWD.

I started reading the comics yesterday and so far I like the premise of the show better (IMO), not the execution though.
