Power Book IV: Force

Just straight fun. For those that liked the slower original, this might be too bombastic for you.

But let's be real; Power was far from realistic, unlike The Wire or other crime related dramas.

This is a more fast paced, exciting adrenaline rush.

And I really enjoyed it the most due to Joseph Sikoras Tommy Egan. Just a balls to the wall dude.

It is cartoonish but in the right way. Far better than mumble mouth Tariq series.

Tommy and The Head of Flynn family is the best. It's so funny the keep on calling walter Flynn irish.

Anyone can HEAR the difference between scot and irish. Not Hollywood.

I was a fan of of the original Power (except for the terrible ending) and have enjoyed all of the spin-offs so far too but I have to say that Power Book IV: Force has been my favorite of them all. None are as good as the original but this is the closest of them. It still follows the original in terms of action, drama, etc. And even the pace feels like the original. Having said that, it still feels original and can stand alone. Obviously, Tommy Egan was a huge fan favorite and is the main reason why this show is good. Theresa best thing about this show is Joseph Sikora as Tommy, he just does such a great job with the role and the supporting cast all hold their own in this too. This is a must watch for any fan of the Power universe. I'm really looking forward to future seasons.

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!

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 !!
