Power Book IV: Force

I started out really disliking Tommy in the original show, but his growth as a character made me appreciate his motivations and actions. He is still a deplorable person, but it makes for a great entertaining show.

Power Book IV: Force is the third and easily the best of the spin-offs from Power. I've been a fan of Power and all the spin-offs but I like this one the most. That's obviously because the story is about the best character in the entire Power universe...Tommy Egan! It's almost impossible not to root for him. If you didn't fall in love with Tommy in Power, you definitely will here. It follows Tommy as he leaves New York a wanted man and goes to Chicago to make a name for himself and eventually take over. He breaks all the local rules to become the biggest drug dealer there. It's non stop action that will keep you at the edge of your seat throughout the series. This series is good from the first episode through to the last. If you're a fan of Power or looking for a gritty gangster show then you'll love this!

The power franchise is the most addictive tv out there. I didn't think anything would compare to the original show but FORCE and Tommy have the same intense and powerful story and you could hope for. The show has not gone soft, which I originally thought might be the case, shows have a tendency to start off strong and slowly fade. Not this one! Force is is action packed and has all the violence and dark feel that made you fall in love with power in the first place. If you like action packed underworld thriller shows you can't stop watching till it's 5 am and you have work at 6, then this show is for you.

Tommy is back, that Power Book II with Tariq is unwatchable, is has nothing from Ghost charisma... Can't wait to see Tommy's new adventures, hopefully without Tariq's face anywhere in it.

Beats PBI II and III... by a noticeable margin.

The story line is way more focused. Yes, there are peripheral characters as in the other "books", but here, we have a more singular approach, where Tommy is the focal point and everything that happens kind of revolves around him.

And it works. Well.

It's kind of like Howard Stern - "you just wanna tune in to see what he says or does next."

This was sorely lacking in the previous 3 series, which were structured by overly drawn out plot lines involving too many characters.

In my opinion, this is the "book" they should have come out with first, and just ran with it.

This could easily run a few seasons, and it's a solid 8/10.

I rate the previous "books" a 6.5/10 comparatively.

Plus, ...that car !!
