Power Book III: Raising Kanan

I'm glad I waited until episode 7 to review because I would have agreed with the current rating of 7. I knew it had potential to be more and it finally delivered with this past episode. We see the consequences of this business and Kanan's ambition, both in the community and personally. I was on the edge of my seat even though I knew what was about to happen. I'm left with a pit in my stomach and 50's speech at the end was perfect for the situation... and in reality. Solid 8 now and hope it goes up.

Think I like these series the most from all the Power Universe series. Like one long good gangster movie. Great acting. Great story and dialogues. It's a lot more about personal relationships instead of unbelievable schemes and cartoon Serbian gangsters. Love the voiceover from 50 Cent. Keep thinking how this kid turns into the Kanan from Power gives this an extra layer. Cinematography is awesome. Raising Kanan feels real, maybe thanks to the input of some autobiographical elements from 50 Cent. Jukebox is a terrific and natural way to include LGBTQIA's. Must admit I've only seen season one so far, so I hope they keep this up or otherwise stop while they're a head.

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.

Patina Miller is the number one reason to watch. She embodied the character of Raq. The supporting characters are great as well like Joey BadA$$. There is a very heartbreaking episode that had me tearing up. Great gritty atmosphere. I can't say good enough things about it. The best Power Book entry so far!

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.
