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 had huge reservations about watching Power Book II: Ghost because (like everyone else) I hated Tariq's character on Power. I even started off with a low rating at first in Season 1 but the more I watched the more I came to really like show. I just finished Season 4 and found myself really enjoying the show a lot more than I thought I would, to the point where as soon I was done with an episode I was looking forward to the next one. This is not the same Tariq from the original Power, he's becoming much more like his dad and you go from hating this kid to actually rooting for him. I can't remember a show where I hated someone so much to actually rooting for him like I have Tariq. I'll still never get over what he did to his dad but this show is so much better than I expected it to be.

For me I delight in the crime drama series. The plot twists , gangsta mafioso style crime family pace is exhilarating. I revel in the performances presented by the actors that embody bthe characters of CANE, DAVIS, and TATE. Kudos to Woody McClain, Method Man and Larenz Tate. There is always an uptick in the storyline when they enter the scene. The series keeps the original intrigue alive and excitement comparable to the other spin off series and the original, of course we shall always miss OMARI'S GHOST , but the final scene gave me Ghost Tommy vibes !! Go Braden!! The season three finale was thrilling !!! Salut to power universe ...btw the three tenors are L. Pavarotti , P Domingo and J. Carreras.

YOU kill off all the main actors and keep all the useless characters.

That Tariq can't even act! And now he wants to be like his Dad? Please? Once you killed off Jamie that was the end of the show. Don't understand why you'd make a show about the son and his mother!

Tommy became non existent he should of killed Tasha and Tariq. Bring him back.

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.
