I just finished the season 1 and read on Instagram Sascha Penn's post about big magazines & Media publications in general. It hurts that they ignore this series for reasons I can't understand. This show deserves more appreciation and fair ratings.
I started the series just to see how Kanan's character develops. I came with low expectations and left the series with satisfaction. The acting was brilliant. Good cast and nice story telling. Not to forget, whenever 50 CENT narrates it's just in time with the right words.
Even my mother says that Mekai Curtis fits perfect as a young teenage version of Kanan (50 CENT).
There are some good actors with a hopefully great career to come. For me, Joey Badass as Unique overshadows everything. He flashed me so hard I was like 'wow' ! I never ever expected him to play a role in such an authentic way. You do believe him the role as a drug dealer king. He's also my favorite character from the series.
I don't want to spoil anything here. If you watched Power Book II, then you'll definitely watch Book III as well. It's different and sets in the early 90's. Beside clothing, music & things I didn't felt that 90's vibe over all. The plot is never boring, just a little stretched for the Big Bang. The subplots were auxiliary and acceptable to watch. I mean if the audience never seen Power I and get in touch with the character Jukebox they'd probably find it boring and unnecessary. That wasn't the case. On the one side I can't see how Jukebox develops into her character later on, but on the other side it leaves much more space for her to grow on in season 2. So it's all fine.
To all magazines and publications give this show a chance and rate it fair. They all did a fantastic job and worked hard for it. Big applause to the creators, actors & directors.
