Season 3 Review: Power is as sexy, flashy and addictive as it has always been. The only difference is the women in Ghost’s world have a lot more to do and say--and the series is better for it. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Much of the real beauty of Power lies in the details, conversational and visual. Read full review

Season 2 Review: Power is a frightening but easy-to-get-sucked-into fable about those last two paths to financial success [drug dealing and nightclubs]. Read full review

Season 2 Review: A series that can still be occasionally talky and turgid.... Hardwick's the better and smoother actor, and certainly the more appealing one. But it's Jackson who gives this show bite and--to a considerable degree--life, too. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Power has some pull, but maybe not enough to win a tug of war. Its overall pacing could use a perk-up and its portrayals of minorities (who twice drop the n-word) might take more heat if 50 Cent wasn’t both calling the shots and rapping a theme song that includes the lyric, “I’m an undercover liar. I lie under the covers.” Read full review

Season 1 Review: Power is fine but it doesn’t live up to its title. It’s not a powerful drama because viewers have largely seen all its tricks, plots and character relationships before. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Everyone seems to be imitating someone they saw in another gangster movie. It would be funny, if it weren't quite so tedious. Read full review

Probably the greatest show I've ever watched. Easily better than Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad. Highly recommend it.

Power is a very good show with scenes that make the viewer go through a lot of emotions. The way the author built up these characters and made the viewer have a emotional connection with them is good

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fun series to watch if you switch off your brain but when you critic it, it really is a garbage show. Over abundance of unnecessary sex for no actual reason, a character just straight up doing the impossible just to come back out of no were (Kanan) and the worst character I’ve personally ever seen in any form of media I’ve personally indulged myself in (Angela), if you want to know why, you’ll just have to watch the show.

It’s a good pass time but I wouldn’t take any of it seriously.… Expand

Just finished season 1 and although I generally like the series all the sex is just too much and a turn off (just seems to be space filler). I am amazed at all the people (actors) that are willing to allow millions of viewers to see them and believe it or not I am no prude!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A series is only as good as its ending. Sadly this was a neverending ending with showmakers trying to create suspension while it was obvious from the beginning who would be the one who pulled the final trigger.… Expand
