From Executive Producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and show creator Courtney Kemp Agboh ("The Good Wife") comes "Power", a visionary crime drama set in two different worlds - the glamorous New York club scene and the brutal drug trade. James "Ghost" St. Patrick has it all: a beautiful wife, a gorgeous Manhattan penthouse, and the hottest, up-and-coming new nightclub in New York. His club, Truth, caters to the elite: the famous and infamous boldface names that run the city that never sleeps. As its success grows, so do Ghost’s plans to build an empire. However, Truth hides a ugly reality. It’s a front for Ghost’s criminal underworld; a lucrative drug network, serving only the wealthy and powerful. As Ghost is seduced by the prospect of a legitimate life, everything precious to him becomes unknowingly threatened. Once you’re in, can you ever get out?

"Not for the Faint of Heart"
I caught "Power" one night. It peeked my curiosity. Did this belong to a series, or was it a single show, movie perhaps? I did some checking, it was a series. I quickly found series #1 on Amazon and ordered it. Holy Moley. I watched from episode 1 and was brought up to speed. About every bad thing you could imagine is conjured up in this drama. The two main characters are Ghost and Tommy, and both are Hotter than fire. The sexy steamy sex scenes are just as hot. You'll blush in your own living room! The two leading role woman are of the same caliber.Ghost is the best looking black night club owner in the world. And Tommy, his white partner... well he is the reason I watch the show. He is scary, gorgeous, cool, and tough as they come! Haven't seen anything as criminal and gutsy as this done on tv. Will order season 2. Season 3 just ended a couple of weeks ago. I have it recorded for safe keeping till I'm caught up. Try it, you'll be hooked, too.Just Wow!!! It's raw.

So much to say but this show sells itself well to those who love to see what happens next
Fifty Cent has made his transition from rapper to businessman to show producer with seemingly effortless movement. This is accomplished because Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson surrounds himself with talent that's undeniable. Omari Hardwick was a major addition as the lead, James St Patrick aka Ghost. Most of us don't have a complicated life as a drug distributor/club owner/family man. However, Omari makes a convincing argument that such a life can be well packaged. After serving as eye candy for the ladies in BET's "Being Mary Jane", Hardwick shows his acting chops extend beyond a well pressed suit. His wife, played by former 3LW member Naturi Naughton expects Ghost to maintain and ascend his illegal empire. Ghost, however is tired of the street life; the underground lifestyle, murders and watching his back. However, his partner Tommy will do everything he can to remind Ghost the street life is what made them and what will keep them. So much to say but this show sells itself well to those who love to see what happens next. The first season justified the recent entry of the second season on Starz. Buy this set!

An Cleverous and Prelude to an Addictive show! A+
A very good stylized drama with a sensible love story. The drama of this show is more so realistic and wealthy, adding core components of smartness in ways of how the negativity of drugs distributions affect lifestyle while St. Patrick makes the effort to pursue deliverance from the drug lifestyle to a legitimate business; while St. Patrick attempts for that deliverance he realizes that others don't want him to change. The show is filled with modest livelihood, elegance, practical thinking, uncensored sexual contents, and cleverness.Power Season 1 can become of addictive show, and somewhat cultural in the diversity of Black, Latin and White entertainment blended together to make a interesting show in a sense of unity (which I really like about this show as well).

POWERFUL!!!!!
There were several people who told me I should be watching this show. I was hesitant because I'm not a fan of 50 Cents. But I decided to give it a try because someone that I know who doesn't watch much t.v. raved about this show. I actually binged watch the first season and all I can say is that I love me some Ghost!!!! This show is off the chain and kept me glued to the screen.

"Power," Capitalism, Unjust World, and the Complexities of Human Nature
Great show. On the advice of a co-worker, I decided to purchase season one. This show sheds light on the complexities of human nature, and the hierarchical nature of the drug trade. In a capitalistic society and an unjust world, morality goes out the door for many people, when they have to survive against enormous odds.

DYNAMIC, well-rounded, character-driven story-lines!
This series is fantastic. Dramas are usually extremely predictable to me but this one was fresh and engaging each episode. Hardwick plays a man eloquently navigating between the dangers of two worlds which resonates with many, many Americans today. I couldn't have asked for a better first Blu-ray experience.
