Power Book II: Ghost

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.

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.

THAT DAMN TARIQ IS DEFINITELY HIS FATHER'S SON !!!! HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME FOR DIANA OR ANYONE ELSE. GREAT SHOW PERFECT SPIN OFF!!!!!!@@@

HE LIE WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, SO SMOOTH AND CLEAR. CENTERED AROUND COLLEGE THESE YOUNG ADULT CHARACTERS ARE RARE GEMS. THEIR CHEMISTRY IS IN SYNC!!!!

LOVE THE FACT THAT TARIQ IS HIGHLY INTELLIGENT, BUT HE JUST CAN'T LET THE LIFE GO DESPITE HIS SISTER DEATH...

MARY J AND KAIN TOTALLY BECOMES Their character. They are both in BEAST MODE. KEEP IT UP!!!!!!

HOPEFULLY IT GETS ANOTHER SEASON...WANNA SEE TASHA BACK ON TOP!! AND MS TASHA ST PATRICK RUNNING THE CLUB.

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.

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......
