9 out of 10 I enjoy this tv series, the style the acting, the music all fantastic it's a good show overall violence sex drugs would recommend if you are a power fan.
In my opinion this series is the best in the Power Universe so far. Kanan is the most interesting of all the characters, hope there is a season 2 & more.
It started off slowly, however as the season goes on the pace picks up. I know Kanan being an intelligent nice kid is throwing folks off, but I like how it is progressing. You slowly but surely see the transformation into who he will eventually become. Hang in there, it only gets better.
Wasn't sure at first but I think it may have took over from book two as being better.
Great theme tune and soundtrack with some great original songs. It's really interesting to see the characters that we know (juke and kanan) and it's going to be a little sad to see how they're personalities get poisoned/hardened and make them who they are!
I don't love roc but Marvin and Lou are great sidekicks. Joey bada$$ is a great addition to the cast. Very good aestheticically which stays on theme with the rest of power.
The second series ended explosively and I can't wait to see how they pick it up in series 3.

Power Book III: Rasing Kanan is the third of show in the Power Universe. This one is about a young Kanan Stark (50 Cents character from the original) and how he joins his family's growing and dangerous drig business. It takes place in Queens, New York during the 1990's. It quickly builds its world and expands the Power Universe but definitely stands on its own. The do a great job bringing you into their world, especially with all the attention to detail of how the 90's were. Even if you weren't a fan of the Kanan character in the original, you'll still enjoy this. You don't even have to watch the original to like this but if you are already a fan of the Power Universe I promise you won't be disappointed here.
