Prob desperation. Power used to average over a million viewers per ep. This show hasn’t even had 1 episode hit a Milly.

by all estimates they’ve lost atleast half their viewers
This, I think they’re trying to keep as much flexibility as possible to keep most the cast on whichever show pops.

I know some people in here are loving Book 2 but reality is Riq doesn’t need his own show. Tommy could carry a show, not Riq...that’s how we’ve ended up with this half baked Tejada family. :ld:

I just looked at the ratings and yeah they have falling WAY off. This last episode did like 400k viewers. Power averaged like 1.1 million viewers in season 1 - 5. I expect the Kanan spin off to do worst than this one. Tommy is the only one who can carry a show and bring the original fans back. They have to regain the interest of those 700k people who stopped watching.

That's partially because they let you watch it on Demand at midnight

:russ: Facts. He shoulda just put the white boy on and had Effie be they worker and just sit back and collect. And he shoulda just told white boy that his girl was the feds and was tryna set them up. It’s Power tho, they gon take the path with the most resistance lmao.

I think it’s the gay stuff scaring people off
That definitely is a big part of it. But nobody wants a lead character that requires bad writing just to stay alive.

2bit gets out and wants $$ or you dead? In walks Effie with a easy bag

Kane won’t put hands on Tariq himself for some weird reason, hires goons that use knives, Tariq can’t defend himself? In walks 2bit

the solution to all his problems is somebody saving him

I don’t even look that deep into the writing of power it’s never been good to me
