I'm glad I waited until episode 7 to review because I would have agreed with the current rating of 7. I knew it had potential to be more and it finally delivered with this past episode. We see the consequences of this business and Kanan's ambition, both in the community and personally. I was on the edge of my seat even though I knew what was about to happen. I'm left with a pit in my stomach and 50's speech at the end was perfect for the situation... and in reality. Solid 8 now and hope it goes up.
Patina Miller is the number one reason to watch. She embodied the character of Raq. The supporting characters are great as well like Joey BadA$$. There is a very heartbreaking episode that had me tearing up. Great gritty atmosphere. I can't say good enough things about it. The best Power Book entry so far!
Wasn't sure at first but I think it may have took over from book two as being better.
Great theme tune and soundtrack with some great original songs. It's really interesting to see the characters that we know (juke and kanan) and it's going to be a little sad to see how they're personalities get poisoned/hardened and make them who they are!
I don't love roc but Marvin and Lou are great sidekicks. Joey bada$$ is a great addition to the cast. Very good aestheticically which stays on theme with the rest of power.
The second series ended explosively and I can't wait to see how they pick it up in series 3.

It started off slowly, however as the season goes on the pace picks up. I know Kanan being an intelligent nice kid is throwing folks off, but I like how it is progressing. You slowly but surely see the transformation into who he will eventually become. Hang in there, it only gets better.
9 out of 10 I enjoy this tv series, the style the acting, the music all fantastic it's a good show overall violence sex drugs would recommend if you are a power fan.
