Hi all!

Today I am ranking the award-winning Power universe. I’m such a huge fan of this franchise. After the first season ended, a bunch of spin-offs emerged, following the paths of various characters from the original show. Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Spoilers Ahead! 

1.) Power 

Power tells the story of James St. Patrick, an intelligent, yet ruthless drug dealer, who goes by alias, ‘Ghost.’ He wishes to leave the criminal world, in order to pursue legitimate business interests as a nightclub owner. However, this is much easier said than done. The allure of making money and doing it well becomes irresistible. The original show truly is the best of the best. There are so many exciting moments, tragic deaths and steamy scenes for all to enjoy. If you aren’t sure where to begin, start here.

2.) Book III: Raising Kanan

In second place, we have Book III: Raising Kanan. It follows young Kanan Stark, detailing how he came to be the ruthless, manipulative man from Power. We follow him as a child, living in 90’s Jamaica, New York. His mother, Raquel Stark, is a Queen Pin, meaning she runs the money laundering business, alongside her two brothers. Eager to prove himself, Kanan gets involved, making many mistakes along the way. I LOVE the fashion in the season (especially Raq’s), the time period, the music and the overall vibe. I’m also really invested in the characters and their individual stories. It is such a superior instalment. 

3.) Book II: Ghost 

In third place, we have Book II: Ghost. This series follows Tariq St. Patrick, son of James, as he navigates life as a college student. His desire to shed his family’s legacy comes into conflict, when he finds himself mixed up with the powerful Tejada family. The spin-off has finished now and honestly, it got worse as it went on. It started off strong but ended up veering into the realm of ridiculous. A lot of far-fetched storylines and questionable choices were made. The best part is Mary J. Blige as Monet Tejada.

4.) Book IV: Force

Last, but certainly not least, we have Book IV: Force. This instalment follows Tommy Egan from Power, who escapes to Chicago in order to start fresh, only to find himself right back in the drug business. Despite coming up against some ruthless figures, he continues to charm his way to the top. I would’ve rated it higher but I’ve only got one season to go off. The second season is about to begin.

Thank you so much for reading! How would you rank the series?

Peace & Love xoxo
