Meredith Hobbs Coons AV Club Chad sounds a bit off, looks a bit off, says weird things, and may get discovered as a fraud at any second. Oh, and there’s some mean-spirited jock humor. Rated: D Sep 26, 2025 Full Review William Goodman TheWrap Due to the talent involved, it transcends its source material and becomes something much more special as a result. Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Financial Times If Ted Lasso built its reputation on a kind of gee-whizz homeliness, then Chad Powers opts for the polar opposite. The humour is coarse and mean-spirited, and its misanthropic streak makes hard work of any lighter moments. Rated: 2/5 Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Warren Cantrell The Playlist A hodgepodge of pop culture references wrapped around a sports redemption yarn with a douchebag at its center, the series is a busted play: an interesting idea that zigs instead of zags and runs straight into a wall of opposition. Rated: D Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review More impressive still, “Chad Powers” offers a welcome mix of cringe comedy, raunchy humor and even some sweet, odd couple moments. Sep 26, 2025 Full Review M.N. Miller FandomWire Chad Powers strikes a balance of clever and silly, carried by Glen Powell’s dual performance. He blends egotism with vulnerability, creating sparks of heart. Rated: 6/10 Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
