Watchseries; I don't like Tariq in the first series "Power" he's annoying and ungrateful and just acts bad for no reason but this story in the university is super good i liked it alot and tariq character is no longer a hated character in my book and the new actors are really good and alot of cast do return within the show so it's not a new everything but this show is great, you guys give it a chance you'll like it i was surprised on how good season 1 went but nothing will ever beat the Tommy and Ghost duo

Power Book II: Ghost watchseries. I never liked Tariq and my two favourite characters are gone so it was very tough to consider liking this one, if anything i was biased towards it and it turned out to be pretty solid. Building a little bit of understanding of Tariq with a good spin on new characters. Actually just seems like a new season of power so I'm hoping we get more new characters and newer stories to make it feel like a spin off. Method man is pretty good though and I hope they can put an original spin on Mary J blige's character. All if you liked power enough you will still enjoy this show.

Power was a good show, but all the spinoffs are too samey and it might have been better to just do the Tommy spinoff and leave the rest alone. The writers are spreading the storylines a bit thin to make them interesting.

People dislike Tariq who is certainly a class in itself but I find Tasha even more annoying, there is no end to her nagging and complaining. Writers dont even bother writing good interesting characters, they keep creating drama by characters constantly fighting with everyone and complaining about everything. Plus, this show is trying to be progressive and supportive of african americans yets glorifies and romanticizes drug dealing and murder and not to mention is trying to create a even bigger chasm between races. The dialogue (not really a spoiler) Tariq has with that girl , who tells him how only a few af-americans are "hardcore" agenda driven and "loud" and have no problem basically crying wolf is demeaning and depressive really.
The original Power at least was about something, Ghost's redemption, trying to do better and teach Tariq about his mistakes. Sure it had like a million lame artificially created dramatic conflicts but it wasnt bad.
This is. Its basically about drugs, how to cheat at school, how to avoid murder but at the same time ironically claiming oppression and BLM. You cant have a african american kid doing all the stereotypical things but at the same time him crying racism at every step. Its ridiculous.

They should have made a spin-off about how younger Ghost and Tommy got to the top; or about Tommy in L. A. Tariq is not really a likable character; the kid got his sister killed, he killed his father, and got his mother locked up; his little sister and grandmother better watch out!

"Power" had great actors/characters in Ghost, Tommy, Angela, and Proctor, but this show does NOT. Note: I did not stick around to see if Tommy shows up in the second half of the season, but it would not be enough to save this show for me. I did not like the characters, most of the acting, and most of the dialog/writing :-(
