You knew they were going to do a spin-off on Power since they've already got a built in audience but this was the wrong way to go. Tariq was one of the main characters I liked the least. Michael Rainey Jr. (Tariq) seemed to be one dimensional as an actor in Power. Always the same demeanor and facial expressions which isn't a huge deal for a side character, especially a young actor. But to make him the lead and main character was a bad choice in my opinion. I never criticize shows for being "unrealistic" as most good shows have to be in some sort of way. Power made you believe these guys were so good they could pull off the crazy ish they do because the actors were so good. Naturi Naughton is a good actor but everything about the dynamic between the two just seems off to me. Tasha was tolerable in her role in Power but again as a lead it feels repetitive and she's not a character you root for. I would have loved a prequel where they show how Tommy and Ghost came to be who they were in Power or even follow Tommy after he takes off for Cali. Power Book 2: Ghost is just too far for even me to believe, have zero interest in the main character and just keep hoping for Tommy to show up again. I gave the first season a try but I'm Ghostin' it for here out. -SweeZ
