Power Book II: Ghost

Power Book II: Ghost was not close to what I was expecting. I thought it was a terrible idea when I heard they were giving him his own show. I wasn't even going to watch it but since I'm such a huge fan of the original and most of the fans were recommending it I thought what the heck. I'm so glad I did give it a chance because I enjoyed it so much that I binged all three seasons in just a couple weeks. Like most I hated Tariq from his time on the original Power. But this is not the same Tariq from that show, you'll actually find yourself liking him more and more as the show goes on. Like the original Power some of the story lines are a little far fetched but you'll still have fun watching it. Obviously if you're a fan of the original Power then you should definitely give this a chance. Even though this isn't as good as Power, chances are you'll come to enjoy this a lot. I've actually enjoyed all three spinoffs more than I wi would and looking forward to more seasons of all them in the future.

I luv the show the people make every happens. The writes are at there Best. Can't wait to see the Final Finale. If you hate ANY character in the show means they did the job. All the CAST in this show has my FULL attention and I appreciate all the times you kept me trying to figure out what's going to happen next. I want all you Ladies and Gentlmen to know a job well done. Love The Show. I hope my idea comes to life I want Traiq and Brandon go to Chicago and team up with Tommy, Let Monet and her children team up with BMF. Method Man, Eppy, go join Kane. I guess I have to wait and see what really happens. I been watching the show from the beginning with Ghost I truly start taking my lunch to work so I can afford to pay for STARZ channel just to watch the show, that's how much I fell in love with Series it is worth every dime to me. Let's see what happens in Sept/ 2024. What ever the outcome is I know I won't be disappointied.

Where to start, why would you take the most unlikable, unrelatable and annoying character in the whole show and base the new show on is beyond me. I was a massive fan of Power but this spinoff is hard going and barely got through the first episode. Why not base a show on Tommy and Ghost as kids becoming king pin drug dealers......

People dislike Tariq who is certainly a class in itself but I find Tasha even more annoying, there is no end to her nagging and complaining. Writers dont even bother writing good interesting characters, they keep creating drama by characters constantly fighting with everyone and complaining about everything. Plus, this show is trying to be progressive and supportive of african americans yets glorifies and romanticizes drug dealing and murder and not to mention is trying to create a even bigger chasm between races. The dialogue (not really a spoiler) Tariq has with that girl , who tells him how only a few af-americans are "hardcore" agenda driven and "loud" and have no problem basically crying wolf is demeaning and depressive really. The original Power at least was about something, Ghost's redemption, trying to do better and teach Tariq about his mistakes. Sure it had like a million lame artificially created dramatic conflicts but it wasnt bad. This is. Its basically about drugs, how to cheat at school, how to avoid murder but at the same time ironically claiming oppression and BLM. You cant have a african american kid doing all the stereotypical things but at the same time him crying racism at every step. Its ridiculous.

I watched the original power show which was pretty good. I think what made that show as good as it was because of the ruthlessness of the two main characters: Tommy and Ghost. You take that out of the mix and focus on the unlikeable son then you've got a recipe for a pretty mediocre show that should have never been created. This show is power without all the good parts. There's so much boring lawyer stuff and the characters are not very likeable. I'm watching the show and I don't care what happens to the characters. When you're watching a good show you tend to care about the outcome but in this case you couldn't care less.

After power finished, that should have been the end of it. Why, make another show. This just ruins the whole power show for me personally. I'm optimistic to see how the new power shows turn out. My expectations are pretty low though after watching this mess.
