“Power never dies.” That was the tagline (and obligatory hashtag) used back in early 2020 to tease an ambitious brand expansion of Starz’s popular drug-trade drama, “Power.” As the flagship series …
There’s also been a dearth of news about “Influence,” the Larenz Tate-starring political drama originally positioned to debut before “Force” that has since disappeared into development limbo. As efficient as the “Power” incubator has become, can the franchise maintain its quality despite the behind-the-scenes upheaval?Before exploring that question, let’s start with a primer for those yet to be corrupted by “Power.” Original recipe “Power,” which debuted in 2014, starred Hardwick as James St.
Hip-hop is the franchise’s beating heart, owing to Jackson’s influence as a former corner boy turned entertainer, and multiple rappers have been written into the show. Jackson recurred throughout “Power” and performs the theme songs of each series, while “Ghost” boasts Clifford “Method Man” Smith as a regular. Kendrick Lamar made his acting debut in an episode of “Power,” and “Force” features guest appearances from Freddie Gibbs and Jeremih.
“Ghost” was an easy point of entry for “Power” fans, with a plot that picks up mere hours after James’ murder and tracks the aftermath for a host of original characters including Tasha and Cooper Saxe , a disgraced prosecutor who once worked alongside Angela. The first season invested too heavily in the plot’s college elements, with even Tariq’s square-peg classmates and professors getting sucked into his criminal vortex.
Then there’s “Force,” the most auspicious of the spin-offs so far. What “Force” has that the other “Power” series lack is an honest-to-goodness antihero as its lead character. Tommy is an apex predator, as street-savvy as he is hot-headed, and the pilot finds him fleeing an untenable situation in New York with plans to reanimate his business somewhere in California.
