Awesome NSFW Trailer for PlayStation's POWERS TV Series
PlayStation and Sony TV unleashed the first trailer to their upcoming TV series Powers at NYCC, and this show looks freakin' great! The series is based on the comic book written by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming. It stars Sharlto Copley (A-Team) as Christian Walker and Susan Heyward (The Following) as Deena Pilgrim, two cops who specialize in cases involving people with superhuman abilities. Just from what I've seen in this first trailer, it seems to have the same level of quality as a feature film production. It's seriously impressive, and it has me extremely excited about watching this show. This is going to be a very edgy series that fans of the comic could be proud of.
Powers follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker (Copley) and Deena Pilgrim (Heyward), who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with extraordinary abilities, referred to as “Powers.” Set amidst today’s paparazzi culture, Powers asks the questions, what if the world was full of superheroes who aren’t actually heroic at all? What if all that power was just one more excuse for mischief, mayhem, murder, and endorsement deals? Enter the men and women of the Powers Division, the only people brave enough to go up against the overpaid, commercialized, superhumans who glide through the sky imposing their power over the crowds below who both worship and fear them.
The trailer is not safe for work as it contains some foul language.
