POWER Book all seasons discussion thread (Power Book II: Ghost canceled )

You right I find Meth terrible on here....not Zeke and Yasmien bad but it really ain't because Meth is bad its the writing and role....his dialogue sucks lol.

It's the role they have him.playing
When cane had the gun on him in the car
I wanted meth to go street and explain the game to cane. They hinted that meth is a reformed street and red is doing his bod. That's was the perfect time to build meths character out.

I was trying to find the right words to describe why Meth isn’t that good to me and I think writing and the way he delivers the lines are it. I try to give Yasmine a pass for being a child actress but she‘s just horrible…lol

They changed his sound from last season to make him sound more like an educated crooked lawyer. It's not working. They did him like dude that plays Rza.

 

[p5ych3]

Best actors on the show are Cane and Meth. I thought MJ would be a lot better

Lorenz tate and his brother do circles around everyone. Their experience shows.

Bingo! The problem is the role he's playing. I've seen Method Man be a decent actor with the right character and dialogue.
Him trying to portray an uppity attorney just doesn't fit. He can still portray a professional that's closer to who he really is.
I know attorneys that are still a little hood, but still good at their job.
They could have had him playing more of a hood attorney than what they got him portraying.

I agree..

I don't think they clever enough to write that....it wouldn't shock me if they never even address the Redman shit ever again this season lol.

You can tell Larenz acting really too good for this shit. It rears its ugly head every time he's on screen or acting with other actors....

Did they? Shit I thought he talked like this last season too.

 

[tekwehuself]

Yasmin's voice when she was being questioned by method and the prosecution annoyed the fuck out of me

 

[DCMC]

Looks like I was right.

 

[TENT]

Naw it aint. That's how certain women are for certain guys.
Never for me but I have seen it happen.

Tariq getting these bitches with zero effort unrealistic asf

 

[TENT]

Why is this child in this show? She made it longer than some main characters.
She serves NO purpose! None.
She aint hip at all. She aint 4 years old.
I know 4 year olds that are gutta.

She should have been written off along with Tasha.

Yasmin's voice when she was being questioned by method and the prosecution annoyed the fuck out of me

 

[Complex]

Yasmin's voice when she was being questioned by method and the prosecution annoyed the fuck out of me

They make her seem slow

Like how she called Tariq for some lottery tickets.

If they were going to age her the way they did, but still use her like this, they might as well have kept her at four

 

[Worldboss5000]

Naw it aint. That's how certain women are for certain guys.

yeah I get that but homes doesn’t even spit ANY game like “damn you’re beautiful” or some shit pop up with flowers take them out to eat or buy them anything that nigga would not be pulling them bad bitches with out zero wordplay or effort even ghost was romancing Angela so idk shit is weird to make homes this lady’s man he don’t really fit that image to me

 

[Complex]

Lorenz tate and his brother do circles around everyone. Their experience shows.

I went from disliking Tate, to him being my favorite character

Him and method man

at least you know their intentions, Tate is trying to get the draws and political power. Method Man is trying to get money.

Everyone else on this show is annoying

Especially goofy ass looking Greg Oden and his faggot ass hair. I hate how they're showing the gay romance even more this season.

 

[Complex]

Tariq getting these bitches with zero effort unrealistic asf

They smell the scent of the bodies on him.

Like it's an aphrodisiac.

One minute Diana is a virgin and the other chick is a lesbian and the next they're throwing the pussy at Ghost Jr.

 

[Complex]

Best actors on the show are Cane and Meth. I thought MJ would be a lot better

I don't know who is a good actor and who isn't, because they all look bad. It's like being on a bad basketball team, the stench rubs off.

because Carrie, Saxe, Zeke, Mecca, Lorenzo, Stereotypical ghetto college chick and Mary look so fuckin bad

The dead professor might have been worse than Zeke.

Lauren, Meth, Cane, Dru, Tate seem competent

 

[TENT]

Acting wise, Mary has no range.

Zeke. I have no idea what is going on with that cause the actor isn't like that in real life.

Zeke is comic relief. I wonder what Tommy’s spin off is gonna be like

 

[eagle force]

he getting more than cane, zeke, and brayden combined lol

Shit they made him a drug kingpin, criminal mastermind, gangsta (I got a bullet for all them Tajadas) so I guess he can be playboy too..lol

Especially goofy ass looking Greg Oden and his faggot ass hair. I hate how they're showing the gay romance even more this season.

Shit pissed me off last night when they showed them in the dark, I was like damn who is this getting some pussy now and then it was to the 2 faggots all wrapped up

Just finished Power Book II season, thought it was entertaining and the women on the show were fine especially Carrie the Professor. Damn she fine! Reading these comments are hilarious, some of y'all taking this way too seriously. I've watched soap operas my whole life and white soap operas do the same unbelievable shit but it draws you in to keep watching, Power is no different. It's pretty much like every other soap I've watched. Crazy unrealistic storylines but for some reason it works. This shit is entertaining and I'm excited to see season 2.

season 1 is way better then season 2

 

[Pworld297]

season 1 is way better then season 2

Season 1 of Power Book II or The first series of Power?

 

[crossovernegro]

Yeah, I mean I get that it's just entertainment...but when they put out a show with blatantly bad acting and writing, we gonna talk shit about it. It's like they write the scripts and never stop to think, hey, does this make any sense at all?

Some hot women, and interest in its universe though(all the power shoes) keep me paying some attention to it. That, and I'm playing the game "take a shot when Mary changes her facial expression" and I haven't has one fuckin drink in 2 years!!! I wanna get at least one damn shot!

everybody tripping...

i like the show!

its TV!

 

[D'Evils]

man did light skin keisha have some tig ole bitties

 

[Coldchi]

Zeke is comic relief. I wonder what Tommy’s spin off is gonna be like

that nigga comes off as a fuckin retard

 

[Complex]

that nigga comes off as a fuckin retard

I'm like is he trying to be the dumb jock on purpose?

but yo, you go to a fake Ivy League school. They could have had him going to St John's or a St John's like school.

 

[madgoose]

So last week was a big episode. This week reminds me of a comment that somebody on the board made about the original Power show somewhere after or around season 3. "It's become a soap show". And I'm suppose to believe that Tariq come up and run that Ocean's 11 scheme whilst handling a double murder! Nah

I misheard something @16:00 Tariq say"we need weight, right?", I thought I heard him say "we need Ray Ray"! I knew I misheard it but it made me remember how greasy and how long that kid had been grimey.

I was going to rate Dru a "Bad boy fruit", thinking to myself, yeah there is some gangster batty boys out on road, "but the opp crashed that thought when he let himself get rushed and he had to man handle him, when a double tap could have been all the workout he needed" .

But when the bomb drops. Which one of you said "Aunty how long did you know?", a few weeks back????? Yeah boy, raise your hand, you was wrong, but not very wrong. Maaad ting! All a dem looking like Goldfish gulping air. Ol' boy didn't even know how old he was!!!

Certain people

, convenient though.

 

[380snubnose]

Dope ep this week

 

[dtownsfinest]

You know I'm critical of this show and its bad but man this week's episode was funny as hell. The whole Zeke explanation.....I was just in tears....this dude really is slow.......it was confirmed this week.

I went from disliking Tate, to him being my favorite character

Him and method man

at least you know their intentions, Tate is trying to get the draws and political power. Method Man is trying to get money.

Everyone else on this show is annoying

Especially goofy ass looking Greg Oden and his faggot ass hair. I hate how they're showing the gay romance even more this season.

And what's crazy is that I don't even think we are suppose to like Tate's character lol.

She be looking right but man this another example.....why every time we see her she sitting down in that classroom? They don't have NOTHING else to offer her character?

everybody tripping...

i like the show!

its TV!

Normally, I can suspend belief....I mean we sit here and watch flying cat's with red beams coming out of their eyes....I can suspend belief but this show is insulting to its viewers lol.

At times it gets so bad its almost like its parodying other shows of this genre.

This shit just silly as hell. But I think this Power series was always intended to be a SOAP. I think tis always been one I Just think it doesn't come as a SOAP in the traditional sense because its far more violent but its for sure a soap opera.

 

[tekwehuself]

Dope ep this week

Yeah I digged this one. Someone else was writing or directing.. one of the better ones.

 

[tekwehuself]

Everytime they do that close up shot of Mary J Blige's face

 

[madgoose]

Who the fuck leaves a Ferrari, a GT40 and a Porsche GT2RS in a hangar with a plane AND the product is conveniently left on the deck in crates?
Surely the product would be kept in the plane in case shit goes wrong and you can get that plane off of the ground, then your away, with the goodies.

And I'm sure that is the Hummer from Shottas, "she a drive one red 'umma!"

Diana flossing a lot of chest @48:58

 

[TimRock]

This shit needs a laugh track

 

[madgoose]

Yeah I digged this one. Someone else was writing or directing.. one of the better ones.

That's what 3 associate producers, 3 story editors, 2 staff writers, a 1st & 2nd assistant director, a script supervisor, a script coordinator, a writers assistant do.

No wonder 50 got 7 types of various accountants watching his outgoings!
