Critics Consensus

Pairing Glen Powell's charms with a frequently off-putting role, Chad Powers throws comedic curveballs that often backfire but don't necessarily strike out entirely.

Chad Powers is fine and inoffensive, but it’s also less than. Less than Ted Lasso. Less than original.

What's Alan Watching? (Ghost.io)

Even when Powell has played abrasive characters in the past... he's proven so innately charismatic that you tend to like him despite how he behaves. So it's impressive in a way that he and Waldron have managed to make him so unpleasant in this one.

3/5

Despite a good central performance by Powell, it’s hard to really care about Russ/Chad — it’s not made clear quite why we should root for him.

10/10

Its merit lies in finding tenderness in clumsiness, in rediscovering the value of simple humor, and in reminding us that, even when in disguise, we all want pretty much the same thing: a second chance. [Full review in Spanish]

B-

That the show can convincingly glide from Russ and Danny doing slapstick in one episode to having a genuinely affecting fight a couple of episodes later speaks to the show’s ambitions — considering how preposterous the central premise actually is.

Of course, this is a highly unlikely scenario but suspend belief and you will be entertained.

Awful. The type of tripe I would expect Adam Sandler to put out if he were to make the move into television. Dreadfully unfunny. Dumb. Juvenile. When it tries to be somewhat sincere, it's an even bigger embarrassment.
