Power [Starz - Spoilers]

Homelander

So I ended up watching this out of curiosity, having thought the last season of Power was abysmal.

This is....a lot better. It's still quite absurd and far fetched, but the new characters are pretty good and somehow, the writers actually made Tariq actually somewhat likable, as opposed to me wanting him dead every second he appeared on screen in Power.

I can see it going down the same road as Power though - into a land of completely ridiculous far-fetched nonsense as they feel they have to constantly up the stakes, particularly given the finale.

Overall it was decent. Definitely a lot better than the last season of Power. It's kinda funny they even called it Power: Book 2, when it is 100% Power Season 7.

Raising Kanan could be decent also, fingers crossed. As it's a look back thing it surely can't be too farfetched as we know about him, Tommy and Ghost's set-up back then to a degree.

Book will be based on Tommy and it has put a nice cast together.

Power Book IV: Force

Starz has set its main cast for Power Book IV: Force, the third installment in the Power universe. Lili Simmons (Banshee, Ray Donovan), Gabrielle Ryan (The Haves and the Have Nots, Bonding), Isaac Keys (Get Shorty, The Oath), Hightown alum Shane Harper, Kris D.

So, if they've moved on to Book 3, does this mean that the current one with Tariq is now finished?? Bit of a waste of time if it is, left it in the middle of nowhere!

Has anyone given book 3 a go, raising kanan? Have to say I am 5 episodes in and it's very enjoyable. Some of the side characters don't offer much but the main characters are good.

I'm going to wait till the season finishes see what the reviews are like

It's on episode 7 and episode 8 is put Sunday I believe so a few more weeks to go before it's over.

I've enjoyed it so far. Got a good season 1 to 3 of power vibe to it before it got diluted with unlikable characters.

Much rather book 3 to the other ones. The first one w a s brilliant for 2 seasons, 3 was OK but went downhill from there.

Really enjoying book 3, couldn't get over the fact Raq is the same girl from Madam Secretary.

That one I will be looking forward to if we're getting Tommy as a main character.

Still not sure why they went with all this "Book" stuff - "Book II" and "Book IV" are straight-up seasons 7 and 8 of the main show.

They could've just called prequel Book III "Power: Raising Canan".

Power Book 4 Tommy started last night.

I liked the Tommy character so I think I will give this one a try.

Danye

For anyone who has watched “Raising Kanian” is it worth a watch? Does a young Ghost and Tommy appear in it?

cena

Can i just jump into the Tommy series? I haven't watched any of the others yet

conor678

I enjoyed it. There's no Tommy or ghost as kanan is only like 15ish I think. It's a good watch

Danye

Yeah I seen that. Reading up on it, apparently the character “Breeze” will come into it in the 2nd series and if a 3rd is done, young Tommy and Ghost appear.

piplip87

Really enjoying book IV. I think Tommy's character is probably the best from the original show so it's great to see where he ends up.

conor678

I am enjoying it too. Certainly has a good feel to it of the early power seasons

Agent Coulson

I have to say I really enjoyed the Tommy season.
