So I have a PS4,and I gave the show a go. I've never read Powers so I had no preconceived ideas. It was...OK. Sometimes it was really good but too often I thought some of the acting, costumes, effects and sets were bad.

I've been following Powers since issue #6 and I thought this show looked terrible. I haven't watched it yet but nothing I've heard has made me want to either.

No prior experience with the material. Watched the free ep and liked it. Would watch more but not enough to pay exclusively for it.
The show had some cool ideas and moments though it often felt like it tried too hard to be edgy and "adult". And I like the guy that stated in it but wish he didn't whisper and mumble. I rary heard or understood half what he said (and I know he's not american). I also liked his costar well enough but bugged me (as it always does) that she looked way too young for the part. I'll bet it improves after its growing pains. Maybe I'll get the chance to catch it again.

Just so you know, this isn't PS4 exclusive. It's Playstation exclusive. The show runs on a PS3 just fine.
