Created by Courtney Kemp Agboh, the Emmy-nominated writer/producer of The Good Wife, and fueled by a powerful yet understated performance by Omari Hardwick, the series captures the spirit of Fitzgerald's novel while telling a story that's very much of our time.
The opening episode--already posted online--is a bit sluggish, but Power gets better in subsequent episodes. Starz, and Fitty, appear to have a winner.

Hardwick might be the most jacked actor working on TV and has some nice moments with Loren as he tries to reconnect with a love that has only grown fonder over the years. But the dialogue, slathered with f-bombs, seems lazy, and there’s not much urgency to the plot.
It moves along, dutifully moving the players to their appointed plot points. And there are some nice performances; I would draw your attention to that of Naturi Naughton, as Ghost's wife, consistently a warm body in an often chilly show.
The show was created by Courtney Kemp Agboh and has so much going for it--on the surface, anyway--that it's almost criminal that a powerful, attractive cast and high-end production values are hobbled by such a stupefying absence of originality.
As it stands now, Power spends far more time telling the audience that everything is at stake for Ghost than showing how everything he holds dear is at stake.
Everyone seems to be imitating someone they saw in another gangster movie. It would be funny, if it weren't quite so tedious.
i looovee this show. i think they picked the best people to act in this tv series. the chemistry between angie and ghost is incredible. i hope this show continues and next year more episodes...eight was not even close to being enough!!!!!

Good casting and solid performances. With summer scheduling, this show brings a decent watch for time-wasting. Strong lead performance from Omari Hardwick.

Unfortunately, I think the character development is weak and the plot sits too high up on the surface lacking the depth needed to avoid the cliches. I don't find myself rooting for any of the main characters because of their poor likability factor. Tommy's character is way over acted and if it were in real life he never would have had what it takes to be a true shot caller and King of NY. His emotional demeanor and mental acuity just doesn't relate to the position of Power he has earned in the show. Ive been part of the game and watched many close to me end up behind bars because it wasn't played right. Theres no way Tommy would have gotten this far without have been pinched or shot by now. I want to like the dynamic duo of Tommy and Ghost but the chemistry just isn't there. The production value is awesome, but the story just doesn't attract empathy for anyone. The only one who evicts emotion for me is 50Cent's character. He's grimy, ruthless, and for good reason, because he knows Ghost is who got him put away. Even his son's character is weak. I really wanted more than what this show provides.
