Power Book IV: Force

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.

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 !!

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 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.
