Some shows come out with a bang, creating buzz from their first episode and riding that momentum of popularity through multiple seasons. They either continue successfully and end at the perfect time before they run out of ideas (the rarer of the options), or they overstay their welcome and jump the shark enough that even the fan base begs for the show to be canceled. Other shows come in quietly, building up a small fandom over time and eventually becoming a household name that will, again, probably fall victim to one of the aforementioned options. DC's Powerless, a show that aired its first episode in 2017, is...neither.
