Sincere, strange, and funnier than I could have ever anticipated. .... Due to the talent involved, it transcends its source material and becomes something much more special as a result. Forgive the overworked sports metaphor: “Chad Powers” is a winner.

As Russ bends to the genre’s sentimental rules to embrace his inner Chad, Chad Powers finds its way into a goofy end zone of comedic bliss.

Chad Powers pulls too much, too obviously from Eastbound & Down, Ted Lasso, and a bunch of other movies and shows to fully feel like its own thing, but it's a consistently funny, occasionally surprising comedy. It's a dark outlier in the Ted Lasso subgenre.

The bizarre prosthetics and silly voice make it hard to take Chad quite as seriously as the series would like us to. .... There is a lot of loose angst flying around by the end of the season, which is obviously not, or not meant to be, the end of the story. Nothing is concluded.

Chad Powers ultimately can't decide if it wants to stay in the uplifting Ted Lasso lane or be a much broader — and at times meaner — comedy than the one it likely wouldn't exist without.

The most irritating aspect of “Chad Powers” isn’t Powell’s rather too self-satisfied “transformation” into the title character, which is never quite believable because they have the same distinctive eye shape; nor is it the constant echoes of “Ted Lasso” and the many elements of the sports movie that have been plunked down but not sufficiently rethought. It’s that there’s a far more interesting show happening in the margins with Ricky and Jake Hudson.

The show (and even the main character, at times, despite Chad’s gentle, affected drawl) is mean as shit. And it doesn’t even have the decency to be funny about it.

This show has heart. It's a fun watch and just what we needed. The actors are great, the on-field action is superb, and the humor lands.

How can someone with such promising charisma as Glen Powell accept and take seriously such childish and shallow scripts? I wonder if he's truly aiming to become the next legendary actor (a position he has all the qualifications for, except considering his insistence on blunt humor) or if he's truly content with being America's favorite golden retriever just for a while. Either way, if he wants to be remembered five years from now, I'd suggest he start taking on at least some serious work. Perhaps Tom Cruise's mediocre influence has taken a heavy toll on Powell. Or perhaps he's content to simply be a pretty smile that sells. It's a real shame he's not interested in taking his work to the level it could be.
