Oh .. didn't think about Empire but now that you mention it. You got the one gay son right?

Yeah, I'm giving the show a chance but it's nothing like Power was at its peak.
I am liking MJB's character.
Anyone else think they're borrowing a bit from 'Empire' with the sons who are angling to take over the family business?

Throw the whole season away. As expected, we get the regularly scheduled dose of "Alphabet soup" with the moist son Dru. But to make matters worse, they've clearly switched up how they do love scenes on the show. Angela, Tasha, Lala, Holly, and plenty others used to go in on the original Power. This season, you got chicks having sex with their bras on or clutching their titties for dear life to avoid a nipslip. There's nothing I hate more than when the Parental Advisory for a show says they'll be nudity and it ends up being some hairy man ass. And to make matters worse, it's not gonna get any better after the Mid-Season break because of COVID, they'll probably be less person-to-person contact.

So now I'm just supposed to watch to see how punk ass Tariq becomes a college kingpin. Bullshit!! And hey, we get it Courtney, the assigned reading each week has themes that correspond to that episode plot. Very "creative". At this point, the only character I'm invested in is Cane, everything else is just a waste of time. Can you believe we're 4 episodes in and there hasn't been a single shower scene with Tasha in lockup. Fuck this shit !!:angry::curse:

They already made Tariq teflon. He’ll be taking over MJB and Stern’s businesses by the end of the season as well as being the first freshman to graduate from that fake Columbia University.
MJB and Bobby Brown only reason I’m watching.

I must be a little behind on these episodes, and I haven’t watched in order. But I like the ones I saw. Especially the episode where Mary J Blige’s son shot ole dood for messing up the family party.

Just Lobos the drug kingpin, Angie's ex-female boss and the Boricua lady cop.

Sterling cheated on his wife with a dude, and that lead to her helping Ghost get his club back when he lost it the first time.

The gay shit is inevitable at this point. It ain't a matter of IF, it's WHEN.

Especially if it's a black show, from The Wire to P-Valley, just know eventually there will be a FF scene you need to fast foward cuz it's gone be some fags f'n.

Yeah but back then with the Wire, I don't remember Omar in any heavy sexual scenes. They gave you the idea that he was, but didn't actually show stuff back then like they do today.

Today it's ridiculous.

I wouldn't know the difference, I fast foward either way.

As soon as them muthafuckas get to staring at each other too long and not saying shit, that's when I block the screen with my hand and hit that fast forward.

It don't matter what they doing. I don't care if I miss a whole plot of the story, I'm outta there.

it's amazing that after all these years, gay characters still move y'all to be stressed out and want to lash out in message board screeds. there are gay people in the world. there are gay people in our communities. there are gay people in our families. it follows that there will be gay people in our stories. none of those things have any effect on whether or not you or your son or nephew or uncle or pops are gay. none of those things should make you feel a way, unless, of course, you feel a way about yourself, that makes you uncomfortable - for some of y'all, i'm certain this is the case.

It's the shoehorning that bothers me.

These are drug dealers, killers, street dudes, not left wing liberals.

Real life street dudes/mafia/cartel members kill these and generally do it in a brutal manner.

i went to unnamed HBCU for a minute with a cat from NYC. he was gay. er'body knew he was gay. in fact, he was kind of 'king of the gays' at that time on campus. saw him whoop Cincy cat's ass for talkin reckless. for i'm in the feds 15 years later - here this cat comes. Turns out, his family was movin weight in Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. he was gettin sugar daddies and using their places as stash spots. some real queen of the south TV script shit. point is, the world is the world. we ALL know gay people. some of them are choir directors. some of them do hair. others of them sell dope and do gangster shit. that a fictional story based on Black life would include a prominent gay character makes sense.

And let them shoehorn away. they know their audience. shit, they know there are some bgol cats who wont bring themselves to look at gay porn, but will sit next to their wife and watch the Power episode with 2 men kissing and fantasize about it later.

horrible episode. Saxe neice shows up right when he needs her. Horrible writing as usual. The professors are boring.

Why does Tariq have to do that stupid head tilt just to show he's educated or in a professional environment.

Mary's hips look nice.
