Incredible show called Powerless blew my mind

I just watched the first episode of Powerless.

It was literally the most incredible and complex and amazing show I've ever seen in my life.

Every single utterance from each persons mouth is some sort of joke, metaphor, analogy, complex idea, or tricky reference to another thing that has been either previously said or exists in the marvel (Batman, Superman etc.) universe.

It is mind-bafflingly incredible.

Not only that but I noticed another extraordinary thing that is an immediate indicator of the attention and complexity put into the show. Every single object in display in each of the major scenes in the show is bound in colour to a purposefully-designed colour scheme.

The colour scheme they have chosen is of very defined colours of red, blue, white, yellow, green, and black, so much to the extent that it is visually a stunningly clever and engaging piece of design.

The fact is that they decided upon this scheme because these vibrant, highly contrasting and well-defined colours, the same colours used by Google and Microsoft to give an appeal of friendliness and 'genkiness', contribute to and complement the rest of the style of the show that is portrayed through its fast-talking, lively characters and relentlessly intense, complex, and content- and idea- rich dialogue (which is, i must say, quite the challenge to keep up with).

Watch Powerless.

I saw the first episode, didnt fall up on it, dont remember why. I enjoyed the tone, very happy in spite of it being about Gotham City iicr. Unfortunately its not on Netflix or hulu from what I can tell, so thats annoying.

a kind sir on reddit (perhaps the only one!) mentioned that Utopia also used a similar colour scheme

not sure if troll... :D

as far as i can recall, the show got cancelld mid-season, with 3-4 episodes never being aired?

I watched the show, when it came out and found it completely lacking in terms of humor and likable characters, so for me it kinda was a relief to hear, that they won't be airing the final few episodes of the show, because my compulsion of finishing shows (or at least seasons i started watching) would have forced me to watch them. ^^
