Power Book II: Ghost Season 3 will premiere shortly, and Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) is already declaring that he’s better at the drug game than his late father, James “Ghost” St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick). While Tariq has certainly mastered some things over the years, he’s not, in fact, smarter than Ghost.
In fact, the college student/drug dealer is in for a rude awakening.

But, will the death of Ezekiel “Zeke” Cross (Daniel Bellomy),—in tonight’s episode, “Love and War”— serve as the force to tilt the axis towards betterment?

TV spinoffs are typically predicated on likeable characters that fans want to learn more about and see again.
This is not the case with Starz’s “Power” sequel “Power Book II: Ghost,” which premiered Sunday night, and follows Tariq (Michael Rainey Jr.) as he establishes a new life after having killed his dad (Omari Hardwick). Tariq’s mom Tasha (Naturi Naughton) has taken the rap for Ghost’s murder but Tariq is doing everything he can – aside from confessing – to clear her name.
His desire to save Tasha, which he spends a lot of the pilot trying to do, almost makes Tariq a protagonist worth championing. But after six seasons of making this kid an arrogant brat who assassinated the show’s star and previously got his twin sister Raina (Donshea Hopkins) killed, this soapy drama full of unintentionally comedic moments has a lot of heavy lifting ahead.
Clearly series...

A ratings hit for Starz since its premiere in 2014, “Power” has failed to draw the same kind of attention during awards season; specifically, the series has never been nominated in any category for any of the industry’s top awards, including the Emmys, SAG Awards, and Golden Globes. And while certainly desirous of the recognition, creator/showrunner Courtney A. Kemp and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson have grown increasingly apathetic.
“For the first couple of years, it was disappointing, because I felt we were doing something new and fresh, and I was hoping that the Emmy voters would take notice, and they didn’t,” said Kemp when asked to address the matter at the 2019 Television Critics Association summer press tour in Beverly Hills, California. She added that she then made peace with being perpetually snubbed.

All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until June 25 to cast their 2019 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for programs (save for animated documentary/nonfiction which are restricted to their peer groups.) Unlike the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally. In the past, voters were limited in the number of programs that they could put forth. Two years ago that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted.
While there has been an explosion in the number of comedy and drama series in the last several years, the limited series genre had been almost static. There were 25 entries in 2015, 26 in 2016 and 25 again in 2017. But there has been an uptick, with 33 such shows submitted in 2018 and 35 this year. Even so, with six nominees for Best Limited Series, the odds for each of the entries detailed below is pretty good.

Spoiler Alert: This story includes major details about tonight’s fatal episode of Power.
“Rest in peace, you tough bastard,” declares Power’s Joseph Sikora as the notoriously vicious Tommy Egan while he and Omari Hardwick’s Ghost look down at the bloodied and very dead body of the Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson portrayed Kanan on the Starz drama today.
Playing the traditional Power card of making a major move in each season’s eighth episode, tonight’s “A Friend of the Family’ saw the Courtney Kemp created crime series go somewhere almost no one expected and yet precisely where the Ep alluded it would with the NYPD shooting death of the rap superstar’s character.
Put another way, and you can already watch the whole “Friend” episode on the Starz app now or catch it on the premium cabler now, take a breath and count to 10 if you thought...

(Spoiler alert: Please do not read on if you haven’t watched Sunday’s episode of “Power”) (No, seriously this is your last chance to turn back.) “Power” just killed off Raina St. Patrick (Donshea Hopkins) in the most heroic way and we just can’t deal with all these emotions coming at us right now. If you’re unfamiliar with Raina (shame on you), she’s James “Ghost” St. Patrick’s (Omari Hardwick) daughter and Tariq’s (Michael Rainey Jr.) twin sister and she was so brutally and suddenly taken away from us.
