I have only watched 10 minutes so far in S1 EP1...but does she have any special super hero type powers? Just need to get some clarity before digging into the show?

Why don't you actually watch the show first before commenting?

Too lazy to do so currently. Maybe later in the month that's why I am asking you experts

She flies but isn't very good at it.
She is super strong; stronger than Luke Cage.
She is super durable but bullets still hurt her.
She heals very fast with broken bones healing in a day.

Honestly if you're waiting for super powers to show up then you're probably not going to like the show.

This show is more about her non-super abilities and the fact that she rejects her powers for the most part (and the responsibilities that come with them).

Super powers play a part in the story of course, but this is the opposite of the standard trope of 1. Get powers, 2. Sew costume, 3. Be hero.

Reading my signature constitutes admission that I am correct. (Too late)
