Chad Powers

It's on Hulu. Premise is Glen Powell plays a disgraced former Oregon QB who dropped the football in the NCAA title game on the 1 yd line (taken from real world), ball is returned, Oregon loses the game and they Powell's character goes after someone on the sideline after the game, punches him in the face and the punchee falls into a cancer kid in a wheelchair and knocks him over.
From there the show proceeds to him using prosthetics to make himself into "Chad Powers" and start playing football again.
It's stupid, it's beyond all pale of reality, the football scenes mostly suck yet I'm highly entertained by the whole thing. Maybe it's the coaches daughter (who upon a quick search is married to Mark Sanchez, yeah, that Mark Sanchez). More likely it's the waiting for the entire house of cards to unravel like a bad play. Dunno but I'll keep watching.
