The thread focuses on user reactions and criticisms of the finale, with participants debating the show’s plot points, character development, and overall quality.

●
The finale was underwhelming and felt unearned. One user described it as "cheeks" and questioned the point of the entire season. Another said that it went out with a "whimper".
●
The writers failed to provide satisfying conclusions to the season's storylines. One user pointed out the absurdity of a character escaping by simply running around a truck and disappearing. Another user criticised the writers' decision to demote Brayden instead of cutting him off or killing him, arguing that this resolution ignored the character's potential for causing further chaos.
●
The finale suffered from the show's unplanned conclusion. One user suggested that the finale felt rushed because it needed to wrap up multiple storylines within five episodes.
●
The plot contained several inconsistencies and illogical elements. For instance, one user highlighted the improbability of the FBI allowing a suspect in a murder investigation to be present during an arrest.
●
Tariq's development into the "new Ghost" felt forced and unconvincing. Users criticised Tariq's acting, arguing that he lacked the charisma and presence of his father.
●
The spinoff series, Raising Kanan, is viewed more favourably than Power Book II: Ghost. Several users expressed a preference for Raising Kanan, citing its superior writing, realism, and humour.
