Of course, the question then becomes if it can sustain this high tension the way that the original series was able to do for six seasons. This spinoff isn’t wasting any time in raising the stakes and building out the Power universe.
Is that in reference to Tariq’s growing criminal ambitions? His academic performance while everyone still thinks he’s just a normal college student? The arrangement he’s struck with Davis Maclean (Method Man) to defend his mother Tasha (Naturi Naughton), who’s still on trial for the crime Tariq committed?Įveryone has something that they’re fighting for, and this is only in the second episode. Sunday’s episode is entitled “Exceeding Expectations,” which could be taken all kinds of different ways.
