Chad Powers’ first season will consist of six episodes in total. As of now, it appears to be a limited series, but who knows, there might be a second season in the makers’ plans.

With a plot being very direct and impactful, everything else then flows into this orchestrated sync that makes the season opener of Chad Powers a pleasant watch.
Glen Powell initially plays the character of ‘Russ Holliday’, someone who can’t catch a break in his football career after a hostile turn of events during his days as a college quarterback.

The pacing of the story is remarkable enough to keep the audience highly engaged and waiting for the next scene. Glen Powell himself is one of the creators of the show alongside Michael Waldron.

The comedy-drama series excels in a sharp and entertaining execution of a story and plot that can get a bit monotonous if not handled with care.
