Disney Here’s the thing about “Chad Powers”: It’s an acquired taste.

From the jump, Waldron and co-creator/star Glen Powell knew they were taking a leap of faith in asking audiences to embrace the Hulu show’s zany premise: Russ Holloway (Powell), a disgraced former star quarterback, dons a prosthetic mask, mustache and wig and assumes an absurdly quirky alias to try out for a struggling football team and reclaim his gridiron glory. But the stats show that, in its sophomore season, “Chad Powers” has found his people.
