Superhero series are dominating the schedules, the NBC decided to embrace the success that this theme is making and launch its own, however, without super-powers!

Yes, that's the idea of Powerless (which in loose translation means exactly that, without powers), which focuses on a group of inventors of accessories for the heroes.

situated in the fictitious Charm City, a city that has so many heroes that it has become routine to meet many on their way to work, the plot begins with Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens), who dreams of making a difference in the world and therefore moves to the city in search of a job where he can achieve that dream. She then starts working at the company. Wayne Security, led by Bruce Wayne's distant cousin, van wayne (Alan Tudyk, by Firefly), where they make accessories for the heroes. All involved are related only to the A.D.

this is the grace of Powerless, a girl who manages to find life around heroes impressive, when everyone finds it too customary. In an amusing way, which almost leans towards ridicule, the series entertains and releases a small criticism of society that no longer knows how to value everyday things. And if you know how to analyze it, you can even give a nudge to the countless series of existing heroes…

The pilot was unpretentious and fun, introducing the basics of the characters and setting the tone for the work. To enhance the comedy, the cast has names like danny pudi (known for his role in community), Christina Kirk and Ron Funches.

Being basically a series of superheroes where they're the supporting cast, Powerless is a funny and different debut that manages to entertain without overdoing the absurd and still sends the message that you don't need to have powers to be able to save the world.

The cast fit in well, their chemistry maintains the quality of the episode. You can tell the show has a bit of Community in it, with Emily's relationship already starting the wrong way with some of her peers. No doubt these kicks will be much explored in the future.

However, it is always worth mentioning that as much as the pilot pleased, the simple theme of the work is a little worrying. Having only one villain for support and good references, can you keep your interest in many episodes?

The first season of Powerless will feature 13 episodes. There is still no information on who will show the series in Brazil.
