There’s a ton of stuff going on in the first episode of Power Book II: Ghost. But Power garnered big audiences because, despite being a bit soapy and unbelievable at times, it carried lots of fine performances and more than enough quality writing to overcome its flaws. That trend continues with the first sequel.

This soapy drama full of unintentionally comedic moments has a lot of heavy lifting ahead. ... As it stands, “Power Book II: Ghost” is a hate-watching worthy spinoff for cosmic retributionists who hope Tariq gets his comeuppance. Sadly, that is as unlikely as this dude becoming a fan favorite.
