I DON'T GET THE HYPE OF THIS SHOW
You can literally skip full episodes in each season & still be able to follow the storyline. It's basic & nothing different from 90s/00s dope boy movies such as Belly, Paid in Full, In Too Deep, Get Rich or Die Trying etc. with a little of Breaking Bad & The Wire thrown in there.
Really, it should have been named Ghost instead of Power. This is the 3rd season & what Power has Ghost accomplished? He's a horrible leader/husband & no one fears him or his crew. Kanan & Jukebox are the only characters worth watching.
Get it together writers, Ghost is a murdering drug lord fighting for an unattainable dream. He has to first tie up all lose ends & leave the city/country to go straight lol! These writers have him chasing side booty & residing in the same area while leaving the drug business??? Really 😒
"Empire" is like "Power" for the family, but Lucious is more hardcore than Ghost will ever be. I want James to BE HIS OWN MAN (stop relying on others Stern, Lobos, Karen). I wish Ghost had more ambition & was focusing on being mayor/senator or any position of real POWER.
WAYS POWER COULD BE BETTER:
Model Ghost around Frank Lucas (American Gangster), he was an intelligent leader, who had his own connect & doing international business while being highly respected in the neighborhood. Also, use actual American History elements from those featured in BET American Gangsters series & the Italian Mafia
Ghost & Tasha should have been like Bonnie & Clyde. Everything he's doing with Angela he can do with his wife. I'll never root for the side chick & that includes Scandal & Being Mary Jane
Angela should have been the jealous ex who's desperately trying to take Ghost down, but can't because he actually has POWER & friend's in higher places, like he can takeout Simon Stern (no need to go through his wife) & still be on the golf course with other powerful people the next day
Better characters with more range- lawyers, judges, politicians, FBI, DEA, DHS, military officers, should all be in Ghost's pocket proving his level of Power
One supporting character should be an ex undercover cop who's believed to be dead, but who really went rouge years ago who is Ghost's main connection to higher officials, judges, politicians, FBI, DEA, DHS. military officers
In the end Tommy should be revealed as being FED all along & brings down the whole operation, the ex cop catches on & warns Ghost & he & his family escapes without persecution & disappears like a GHOST
Ghost should have a chain of night clubs run be legit managers, in different cities, that way the show travels & introduces more characters & different storylines. It also leaves Ghost with time to focus on his purpose (actually leaving the drug business).
Like the character, Francisco 'Papa Fuerte' Cruz, in Netflix series "The Get Down", he has a vision of helping his community, Ghost needs some type of vision/plan.
Hell its tv, we're here for entertainment, so actually show a club manager making it while living a double life as a drug lord. I want Ghost to be Bigger, right now he's mediocre. More grit, more action, less side chick & stupid mistakes 😁
