The recent release of Powers, the first original series from the PlayStation Network, is the latest attempt to chip away at the traditional television industry. As Sony’s first foray into an online streaming scene dominated by Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu, Powers certainly strives for the quality and seriousness typical of Emmy-winning projects. It’s based on an acclaimed indie comic book (like The Walking Dead), and it has a recognizable cast (Sharlto Copley, Eddie Izzard, Michelle Forbes), lots of bad language and violence, and the backing of an unconventional new online “network.” But the show’s flimsy façade collapses with the show’s clunky exposition and poor production values.
