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.

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.

This is my favorite comedy series of all time. My wife and I had no intention of watching it, but our son wanted to, so we reluctantly went for it. So unexpectedly fun, funny, heartwarming, and all around awesome. Surprisingly likeable characters. The only downside is our son has such a busy schedule with 3 AP classes and school sports that he only has time to watch 1 or 2 episode per week max, so my wife and I can't binge watch the next season in one day.

Never done a review before but found this show so entertaining and good for the soul that I had to do one hoping that if the show gets enough hype and positive reviews they will do a third season

They created a super strong start to the story and gave lots of room for development of all the characters!

I don’t normally write reviews but this show is so cute. I hope good reviews will encourage more seasons.
