Quote:
The official synopsis:
When Emily stands up to one of these larger-than-life figures that she accidentally becomes a cult “hero” in her own right — even if it’s just to her group of lovably quirky co-workers. Now, while she navigates her normal, everyday life against an explosive backdrop, Emily might just discover that being a hero doesn’t always require superpowers.

Set in the DC Comics universe full of superheroes, villains and people just like us, Powerless is described as an office comedy about the exceedingly average employees at an insurance company and their quest to find their own power. The show is about the reality of working life for a normal, powerless person in a world of superheroes and villains.

The show marks DC's first half-hour comedy series and stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alan Tudyk, Danny Pudi and Christina Kirk. The series reunites NBC with A to Z alum Ben Queen.

No longer taking place in a random insurance company; it takes place in a department of Wayne Enterprises (Batman's company, ya know?).

The new synopsis: http://www.ew.com/article/2016/12/11/powerless-dc-comedy-nbc-wayne-enterprises

Quote:
In a world where humanity must cope with the collateral damage of Super Heroes and Super-Villains, Emily Locke (Vanessa Hudgens) begins her first day as Director of Research & Development for Wayne Security, a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises that specializes in products that make defenseless bystanders feel a little safer. Full of confidence and big ideas, Emily quickly learns that her expectations far exceed those of her new boss (Alan Tudyk) and officemates, so it will be up to her to lead the team toward their full potential and the realization that you don’t need superpowers to be a hero.


The creator and showrunner left due to "creative differences", so it appears they might have taken the series in a new direction.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

The only direction it should have taken is straight into the trash bin.

This was poor. Lacked the "spark" that Better off Ted had. Way too "fake cheery happy" for its own good. Sad
