What do you think? Are you a fan of Power? Will you watch the sequel series?
Ghost can’t be dead. I’m seriously thinking about not watching without Ghost
I enjoyed Power, just like everyone else. Why was the show ending so soon. Is thar”s how it was supposed to be, or was it something else. there was many ways the show could have continued. I was shocked when I found out it was ending. I will just haveto wait for the new one.. I know you and 50 cent can come up with another one!
Power is my favorite show. I’m a retired 65 year old retired engineer. Courtney and 50 cent created a winner. Can’t wait till it comes on every week to see what craziness will happen next. Keep it coming Courtney, it’s without doubt a fabulous show.
Not sure if im watching without Tommy
Not watching without Ghost and Tommy
I love this show, was my favorite hate to see it gone, I was not going to watch without that fine Ghost, but I’m so curses to see what will happen that I will watch.
