The second they started focusing on Tariq the show took a nosedive. Why make the spoiled son the focus of the show I'll never understand. I wish I had stopped watching after season 3.

I absolutely loved Power. Every season just kept stepping up their game. The best part of the show is the relationship between Ghost (Omari Hardwick) and Tommy (Joseph Sikora). Tommy steals every scene he's in. He was so liked that he got his own show. The show follows Ghost, a man living a double life of leading a drug empire and owning one of the most successful night clubs in the city. He uses that night club to launder money and only wants to do it long enough to get out of the drug game and go legitimate but his best friend Tommy doesn't. Tommy wants to be the only thing he ever knew and that's a gangster. Some of the writing in this show is unbelievable but that doesn't take away from the fact that the show is fantastic. It's so good that I plan watching it all the way through again very soon.

Power is a great edge of your seat thriller that will keep your entertained throughout the entire series. The acting and the writing were so good that the show just sucked you into their world. The character development is as good as any show on television. Even though these are criminals you're watching you really start to care for them and root for them. This show really takes off on season two, the show just keeps getting better and better that the next thing you k is is that you'll want to binge the entire series as quickly as possible. Even though the ending was terrible it doesn't change the fact that it was still a very good show. This is the only show in history that was so well liked that it got not one, but FOUR spin-offs!

People can say what they want about 50 cent but he did a great job with this show. Power looks genuine and the story is very appealing. The cast in the show are marvelous especially Omari Hardwick. Expect this actor in great roles in the future. I really hope this show makes 2-3 seasons because the quality of the first episode was too good. The soundtrack of the Movie is good too, they use popular songs in a couple of scenes. The cars, the suits and the Environment is very well picked. I live in Sweden and i hope this will come to Europe. There are too many bad series on TV and this show would fit TV anywhere. I will follow this shot until the very end and i will enjoy it. This show is above of what i expected.

Power Series 1-3 is impressive! Currently watching Series 4. This is a perfect binge-watch show to grab in the U. K. whilst you're stuck at home with nothing to do in lockdown.

James St. Patrick is interestingly, undeniably a confident nightclub owner with so much on his weight and there's so much more to go on; family, love affairs, friendship betrayals, it's all here!

Trust... is a dangerous weapon in the world of Power.

Great show! Looking forward to seeing more.

8/10.

The rise in Starz ratings began with Power. Many people enter the drug trade in an effort to make quick money while also investing in their future. However, some lose sight of this goal as they become accustomed to the fast money and forget their original goals. Ghost was a driven individual who desired to be more than a drug lord, and it seemed that everyone he encountered with stood in the way of his desire to be legitimate. As not all money is good money, greed may lead to your demise. My favorite was Tommy. He was funny, straightforward, family-oriented, and loyal. Although he may have been unpredictable, which caused many confrontations, and never had the chance to settle down, start a family, or lead an organization, he undoubtedly had an impact. I'm relieved they're doing a spin-off about him since I didn't want his story to end.

Really enjoyed the show. Great story arcs, acting and characters. Really makes you binge watch it. But the finale was a total disappointment. To avoid spoilers, I'll just say - I understand they did what they did to create spinoffs, but I'm sure these creative minds could have come up with a better way.

"Power" is a great show that seems to invite the viewer to watch more and more of it. I couldn't just stop at one episode, I had to watch them one after another. Some may have their doubts on this show, but I must say it is one of my favorites, due to the fact that it has a great story line and is balanced perfectly between scenes. I can't wait to see where the show goes and how the characters will change throughout the show. 50 Cent has done an excellent job in making this show not just good, but great.

I'm surprised this show doesn't have a higher rating because I believe it deserves it. A must watch for anyone who wants something different.

8.8 out of 10

Plot , story line fine, but it is a bit useless to have the sex scene every 15 min. Yes people have sex, but do not ruin the show with all the overrated sex scences. Kinda exposes you as a writer

Every series has its down season. Ray Donovan deffinately had one.

This show moreso had down episodes.

I think it was smart that 50cent knew when to write himself out.

I think they could of culled the last season by a few episodes.

BUT

It was a excellent ride, I am however concerned the "spin offs" wont be as good.

So glad about what happens to Tommy.

I was hesitant about the show because I don't really like gangsta. But it's good, a lot of side lines and good buildups on the backgrounds of the characters. Would have given it a better rating but the supposed "Serbian" mobsters WTF?! Who the hell was responsible of learning them Serbian. The worst pronounciation I've ever heard!

This show was genuinely excellent in its opening season, dark, gritty, relatively credible and low-key as well. It was stretched a bit in the follow up seasons but remained a great watch with good drama and some excellent characters.

Sometime around S4 they seemed to have fired the writing team and hired staff from Coronation Street/Hollyoaks and it just turned into utter drivel. Anyone who's sat through the last season of Dexter or Game of Thrones with that disbelief of "how did we get here?" knows exactly what I mean.

This is an incredible creation of a show by Courtney Kemp and Curtis "50 cent" Jackson. The shows follows the life of a rich drug dealer (James Saint Patrick, who also goes by the street name "Ghost") desperately trying to get out of the game. But without the support of his friends or family he has no way to do so. On the opening night of Patrick's club- truth, he meets the love of his life. She is the only person supporting him on his journey. Will he make it out of the drug game? Will he fufill his dreams of being a successful business man?

I originally loved this show and had it 10/10 but how season 5 is unfolding it goes to 5/10 this season is complete garbage

The way the show consistently showcases the tug and war of life and the decisions made to be in these positions never fails. It's a draw in from start to finish even the the wait between episodes.

This show presented ghost as criminal mastermind who had aspirations to become legit, at every turn ghost would think 10 moves ahead, from season 1 till season 6 episode 10 everything was written perfectly after episode 10 it felt like I was watching a parody of power nothing made sense and to setup ghost for a dumbass end like that was a perfect way to ruin the ending to a masterpiece of show.

What nits Power together perfectly is the action, the plot, the twist and turns, but mainly the legalities that are factored in from the lawyers, district attorneys, cops and judges. It's a mesh of great compiled components.

Starts off great, I really enjoyed watching series 1,2 & 3, however the story soon becomes monotonous and predictable and simply more of the same. Nudity in the first few seasons is a bit ott but this subsides after season 4. Had massive potential but poor writing has killed it, well for me anyway.

Not gonna lie this show has me and my girl hooked on Saturday nights, it doesn't look b-rated as we thought it might and has a very appealing storyline. Honestly i cant wait to see where we will be in a few more episodes...DOPE SHOW, DOPE CAST, just plain Ole DOPE!!!!!! 50 has not asserted himself in the cast to where he is taking over the screen or ball hogging. The main cast are definitely working well together. I cant complain on the place the show is going. Plus its nice to see some fresh African American content being added to the Saturday night lineups. The soundtrack and music keep it feeling fresh so your not bored with unknown low quality tunes playing in the background like most of OUR shows. Im happy and excited and so is my girl.

Are you trying to piss off and anger all your true fans of this show?? Because man you're definitely doing a good job with that! Here's where we're at:

-Show abruptly ending after this season -Made us all wait months to get to the last half of the final season -Created horrible last few episodes all for characters with a tiny amount of screen time. Who we literally don't know while you try to make us feel bad or feel some other way about these small time characters we really couldn't care less about! Just completely worthless episodes. -Now already you're pushing the shows back. Making us wait 2 weeks instead of the usual 1 like in the past! Couldn't even get to the 5th episode before making us all wait again! -It really seems like we're being held hostage by you all! -Dangling the final mystery over our heads while you take your leisurely time making us watch completely irrelevant episodes till you're all good and ready!

• This is literally the definition of taunting!!

-Hyping these final episodes to such an extent that you'll never be able to live up to!

..... did I miss anything here??

Its really messed up to do this to your loyal fans! It doesn't take a genius to see this. To see what you're doing! This is your way of thanking us for watching this series this long.. over what, like 6 seasons! Why are you doing this? You are literally ruining the show and it will now never be viewed the same way!! Every episode this last half season, drags the show down lower and lower!

This isn't right or fair. How disappointing! It should've been getting better and better as it comes to a final end! But it's now crystal clear that you're actually sprinting in the opposite direction!

You should be ashamed! Rating just went from a 8/10 to a 2/10... way to go everyone

Power is a gripping dark crime drama/thriller that centers around James "Ghost" St. Patrick and his attempt to build a criminal legacy and cement himself as "New York's Biggest Goddamn Drug Dealer" while maintaining a legit facade as one of the most renowned night club owners on the eastern seaboard.

Power is reminiscent of the "Dutch" books (but much more realistic), and reminds one heavily of "The Sopranos," especially the relationship dynamic between Ghost and his wife, Tasha.

Power weaves a complex narrative throughout it's seasons, and it's one that never fails to keep the viewer entertained or surprised.

The acting is of particular note, with the actors nailing the entire hood-rich milieu perfectly. 50 Cent is especially effective in Power; one gets the impression that he's possibly done this before with the stone cold electric performance he delivers as Ghost's criminal brother-in-arms and vicious ex-felon, Kanan.

Power is incredibly violent, but that's to be expected from a gangster flick. If you enjoyed The Sopranos, you owe yourself the opportunity to give Power a chance.
