Sunday Safe Bet

Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and sci-fi fans. If you loved Superman & Lois or The Flash, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, episodes of about 42 minutes, about 14 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • Rated TV-PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • It was cancelled, so the story may not get a proper ending.
  • Audiences were cooler on it than critics.

After their plane crashes into the Amazon River, each member of the Powell family starts to show signs of new, unique and distinct super powers.
