You don’t have to know a damn thing about football to get swept up in “Chad Powers.” The new Hulu comedy from Michael Waldron and Glen Powell takes an absurd premise, a fallen quarterback disguising himself as a walk-on to reclaim his dream, and builds it into one of the funniest, sharpest, and most heartfelt sports stories of the year. Adapted from Eli Manning’s viral sketch, the show follows Russell, a disgraced, washed-up pretty-boy QB who reinvents himself as the mustachioed, mulleted Chad Powers to chase glory once more. It’s “Mrs. Doubtfire” meets “Rudy” meets "Ted Lasso," with Powell delivering a tour-de-force of charm, cringe, and full-body commitment.

Joining the Bingeworthy podcast, Michael Waldron, the writer and co-creator behind “Loki,” “Heels,” and “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” discussed shaping the series, collaborating with Powell, and finding its balance between satire and sincerity.
