yeah they aint on tommy or ghost level
**** These are not my thoughts but theories from the internet ****
People saying Raq set up Marv to go to prison. Marv finds out and tries to kill her. Instead Lou Lou gets killed. He’s the Ghost of this series with his fake Angie so he’s not making it out alive. They can also make it be where Marv went to prison for just being stupid but tries to go against Raq anyway for disrespecting him and somehow Lou Lou still dies in result. Raq is either going to prison or has a close call like Azie and gets out of the game because she’s still around in the OG Power. People think Symphony is either an undercover DEA agent or maybe he’s a legit professor/student but either way Kanan will have to pop him. They’re going to get close. He’s the person K thinks about when he mentions killing someone you loved. He ain’t making it out either with all his big dreams of going into architecture. They gonna have to tread carefully because alot of stuff sounds like retreads of Tariq’s story and Ghost’s story but this what the internet thinks
I’m gonna keep watching

It’s not the same. With that logic, then Ghost was like Tariq too since I’m sure his dad, running his bar, tried his best to raise Jamie right. Growing up in Queens around drug dealers is in no way the same as growing up on the UES in a penthouse.

I’ve never seen a show milked as fast as this one. Just pure trash tv, storytelling. Y’all really got this trash at the top of the page but a thread for the best show on TV “Succession” is nowhere in sight.
How long before this professor dude catches a bullet meant for Kanan or his mom.... 
Either him or Puerto Rock kid getting deaded next.How long before this professor dude catches a bullet meant for Kanan or his mom....
shyt, PR homie getting his music on. Tragic up and coming rapper gets killed.
Bada Boom Bada Bing!
Lesbian but yeahIS IT TRUE THEY HAVE GAY shyt IN THIS SHOW?
Yes, but we already knew Jukebox was a lesbian from her scenes in power so it ain’t nothing out of the ordinary.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I'm with everybody here. This show hasn't done anything to pull me in outside of Kanan killing Buck 20. And everything is moving at a snail's pace. Even the first episode felt longer than it actually was. There are also way too many characters to keep up with that I don't care about. Some of them aren't even relevant to Kanan himself, but they're getting more screen time than him. The original Power was centered around Ghost. Even though there were other important characters, they all affected Ghost's life in some way and he interacted meaningfully with all of them. Same with Book II. It's about Tariq, and it still feels like his show despite the other characters around. They are all relevant to his life in some way. But Book III just feels like I'm watching an anthology about a bunch of different characters doing unrelated things. There's nothing to hold on to here, unlike the other two shows.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think the reason the show isn't working is because as far as I know, none of the Power crew members are working on it. The creator of this show wrote one episode in season one (OG Power) and left. I'm assuming all the writers are new. Book II has the same people from Power working on it, so I get that they can't have the same staff members doing three different shows, that's ridiculous. But something about Power that makes it special is how over-the-top it is. The dialogue, the action, the plot turns. It's a cartoon, a soap opera, and a crime drama at the same time. Book III doesn't have that same feeling, and that's probably because the Courtney Kemp style isn't there. Not saying she needs to be running everything, but you need someone there that knows how the world of Power works. This has the Power name, but it doesn't have the Power storytelling.
What this show needs at some point is a Debbie Allen type that can move it in a very specific direction that's unique to it. Hopefully, Book IV has someone like that, especially since you need to try hard to fukk up a show about Tommy.

Just hit me…the beat on this song they was making in the studio don’t even sound like late 80s/early 90s R&B. Then you got Jukebox riffin’ on the joint like Blu Cantrell.
WTF are you talking about?
Every character in Raising Kanan has a stake of some sort in Kanans life
Raq - obvious
Lou Lou - obvious
Marvin - obvious
Juke - obvious
Davina - obvious
You mentioned that the only thing that pulled you in was when Kanan and D Wiz smoked Buck 20. That's all I need to hear. You prefer action over storytelling. And that's ok.
It would be completely one dimensional to have an entire series cater 100% to just the protagonist lead. That's actually something I didn't particularly go crazy for in Book 1. I've yet to see Book 2 but if that's the style they used in that as well then I'm more apprehensive to watching it now.
I love the flow of this series. They are building a "Power Universe"...so I like how the open ends are being woven throughout this story.
Also, the show is a great representation of early 90s NYC. You can see a good amount of time and effort was put into making this show unique and set apart from the rest of the Power books.

It is the same shyt. Ghost could've went to chaute too. He chose to be a street nikka. Just like Kanan. Tari ain't a street nikka he's a drug dealer and there are plenty of drug dealers in upper class schools and communities.
Besides that you're arguing against what Kanan said at the end of the episode. He said he made the choice.
