Power Book IV: Force

Just straight fun. For those that liked the slower original, this might be too bombastic for you.

But let's be real; Power was far from realistic, unlike The Wire or other crime related dramas.

This is a more fast paced, exciting adrenaline rush.

And I really enjoyed it the most due to Joseph Sikoras Tommy Egan. Just a balls to the wall dude.

It is cartoonish but in the right way. Far better than mumble mouth Tariq series.

I started out really disliking Tommy in the original show, but his growth as a character made me appreciate his motivations and actions. He is still a deplorable person, but it makes for a great entertaining show.

Beats PBI II and III... by a noticeable margin.

The story line is way more focused. Yes, there are peripheral characters as in the other "books", but here, we have a more singular approach, where Tommy is the focal point and everything that happens kind of revolves around him.

And it works. Well.

It's kind of like Howard Stern - "you just wanna tune in to see what he says or does next."

This was sorely lacking in the previous 3 series, which were structured by overly drawn out plot lines involving too many characters.

In my opinion, this is the "book" they should have come out with first, and just ran with it.

This could easily run a few seasons, and it's a solid 8/10.

I rate the previous "books" a 6.5/10 comparatively.

Plus, ...that car !!

I have watched the original Power twice, not for the main character but for Tommy Egan, n the show wouldn't have been as good without him..

He's wit n charm makes me laugh even when his being serious He has that cheeky chappy charm about him that makes his character lovable but just like that he can switch that charm into a Psychopath that takes no chit..

I only watched a couple eps of the Tariq Power n that's all I could handle as I can't stand that kid, he's a great actor but I don't like the character he plays n I personally think it can lead kids down the wrong path just like it did him seeing what he's dad done in Power..

Force is way better than all the Powers put together n I really hope they do many seasons of this cos I will never get bored watching Tommy Egan stuffing his face in nearly every eps n the smirk on his face when things go his way, like they always do...

Keep them coming Best Power show yet...

I was a fan of of the original Power (except for the terrible ending) and have enjoyed all of the spin-offs so far too but I have to say that Power Book IV: Force has been my favorite of them all. None are as good as the original but this is the closest of them. It still follows the original in terms of action, drama, etc. And even the pace feels like the original. Having said that, it still feels original and can stand alone. Obviously, Tommy Egan was a huge fan favorite and is the main reason why this show is good. Theresa best thing about this show is Joseph Sikora as Tommy, he just does such a great job with the role and the supporting cast all hold their own in this too. This is a must watch for any fan of the Power universe. I'm really looking forward to future seasons.
