Power TV Show (Netflix)

[Mister Pink]

From the Starz network...

 

 

I was recommended Power by a colleague. As they described it, it reminded me of Season 3 of The Wire when Stringer wants to go in to more legitimate business and Barksdale wants to keep his corners and commit whatever violence in order achieve that so it got me attention as I liked that plot-line and I like crime-thrillers/dramas

 

Although this isn't anything really like The Wire, from the first episode I found it quite enjoyable. It's much more fast-paced, some parts are a little predictable but I found it compelling nonetheless. If you like crime-dramas/thrillers, you may enjoy this. It doesn't require much brain-power so it's a nice refreshing watch if you are looking for something to enjoy. It kept me guessing what was going to happen next. I genuinely like the casting and acting.

 

With the night club featuring, the New York setting, it reminded me of the more serious aspects of GTA: BoGT, I'm only a bit dubious about 50 Cent attached to this but sure we'll see where it goes.

Trailer is pretty crap but sure I'll post it any way.

I like this show Power and Curtis (50 cent) Jackson isnt a bad actor at all. Its ten times better than Empire to say the least.

So I just finished season 6. The first couple of seasons were good up until season 3. The finale was horrible.

 

Now they're going to milk it with spinoffs. I'm only interested in the Kanan prequel, and the Tate spinoff.
