Power Book II: Ghost

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......

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.

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.

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.

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.
