I haven't yet caught up with the first season of Sony's Powers TV series, but I've heard it was pretty solid. The series was available to pay for if you have a PlayStation, but free for those with PlayStation Plus, which still kind of sucks for those out there who dig comic book adaptations but have, for example, an Xbox instead.

Hopefully Sony will drop the first season onto its streaming service Crackle (the same place where Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee is available) so more of us can check it out, but in the meantime, THR reports that the show will be coming back for a second season.

"There is a lot to look forward to in season two for both new and existing fans of the series, as we broaden the Powers universe and bring even more of the fan-favorite characters and storylines to life," said Jamie Erlicht, president of programming and development at Sony Pictures Television.

“Powers” is an edgy dramatic series that follows the lives of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, who are assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman 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 brave people in charge of protecting humans like us and keeping the peace with these over-paid, commercialized, god-like men and women who glide through the sky imposing their power over the mortals who both worship and fear them.

One day I'll find the time to watch this.
