TheWrapWilliam GoodmanSep 26, 2025
Season 1 Review: Sincere, strange, and funnier than I could have ever anticipated. .... Due to the talent involved, it transcends its source material and becomes something much more special as a result. Forgive the overworked sports metaphor: “Chad Powers” is a winner. Read full review

Pittsburgh Tribune-ReviewRob OwenSep 26, 2025
Season 1 Review: “Chad Powers” offers a welcome mix of cringe comedy, raunchy humor and even some sweet, odd couple moments. Read full review

Season 1 Review: This isn’t a realistic show about college football, but its absurdity stays on the right side of the line between fun and silly. Read full review

The GuardianStuart HeritageSep 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: It’s a mutant redemption story with a satisfyingly chewy moral core: can you truly be redeemed if it involves lying to every single person on the planet? All this, plus it manages to be funny and charming. Chad Powers is a rare feat. Read full review

Season 1 Review: As Russ bends to the genre’s sentimental rules to embrace his inner Chad, Chad Powers finds its way into a goofy end zone of comedic bliss. Read full review

ColliderCarly LaneSep 26, 2025
Season 1 Review: Overall, Chad Powers feels like the television equivalent of a true freshman who came out of nowhere to win the prized Heisman trophy, courtesy of a fantastic leading man in Powell, tremendous supporting performances, and a story that knows exactly when to utilize the best plays for cheeky comedy or poignant drama.

Season 1 Review: Nothing about this show should work. And…yet. In all its dumb, ridiculous glory, it (mostly) does. Read full review

DeciderJoel KellerSep 30, 2025
Season 1 Review: We’re not 100 percent sold on Chad Powers yet, but if it concentrates on the redemption arcs and steps away from the goofiness, it should be a satisfying show to watch. Read full review

TV GuideLiam MathewsSep 26, 2025
Season 1 Review: Chad Powers pulls too much, too obviously from Eastbound & Down, Ted Lasso, and a bunch of other movies and shows to fully feel like its own thing, but it's a consistently funny, occasionally surprising comedy. It's a dark outlier in the Ted Lasso subgenre. Read full review
