Power:
The Complete Second Season (2015/Starz/Anchor Bay 3-Disc Blu-ray
Set)

B+ Sound: B+ Extras: C+ Episodes: C
Created
by Courtney Kemp Agboh and produced by rapper 50 Cent, Power
is a gritty drama that comes to us from Starz and Anchor Bay and
definitely ups the ante on dramatic cable television storytelling
much like The Sopranos did many years ago. The show starts
out with the life of a New York City nightclub owner named Ghost
(Hardwick) who also doubles as a fierce drug kingpin who delivers his
goods to some pretty high class folks. If word of his double life
slips, it could hurt his ultimate scheme and ruin his business,
leaving Ghost with a lot at stake. With plenty of crime, sex, and
violence to please any action fan, Power stars Omari Hardwick, Adam
Huss, and Andy Bean, all here for The Complete Second Season
(2015).
The
season is comprised of ten episodes that span three discs which
include Consequences, No Friends On The Street, Like We're Any
Other Couple, You're The Only Person I Can Trust, Who You Are and Who
You Want to Be, Why Her?, You’re Not The Man, Three Moves Ahead,
Time's Up and Ghost Is Dead.
Power
is presented on Blu-ray in sharp 1080p high definition with a
widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1 and an impressive, lossless English
Dolby TrueHD 7.1 audio track that sounds really good for the
underused format and easily improves upon its original
network/digital broadcast. Also on the disc is a Spanish Dolby
Surround 2.0 track that isn't as impressive at the 7.1, but still
passable. No digital copy.
Special
Features include:
Powers
Season One Recap
Inside
The World of ''Power''
Criminal
Network
Journey
of Kanan
While
the show is not without its moments, ultimately the plot line and
some of the characters feel a bit old hat and the show is still
missing something, but it is a vast improvement over Season One.
