What people are saying
Updated nightlyChad Powers is mostly a good time because Glen Powell is magnetic as Russ Holliday and the Chad Powers disguise, and the show leans into humor instead of trying to be a straight sports drama. Acting and comedy are what people enjoy most, with Perry Mattfeld, Steve Zahn, Quentin Plair, Frankie A. Rodriguez, and Wynn Everett giving the South Georgia Catfish enough personality to make the world feel lived in. The story is the main thing that cools people off: the premise can feel stretched, and some viewers want it to be sharper and more original. The look and pacing get occasional complaints too, but they are not what most fans remember. If you like Powell and want a funny, easy football comedy, the seasons are worth watching.
