Power After Hours Episode 614 Recap - "Reversal of Fortune" Jan 28, 2020

Jeff and Krissy are back to review the penultimate episode of Power! We get the Tate-Centric episode, which meant to show the motives he had to kill Ghost, but this turned into a referendum on the commonly agreed upon uselessness of the Paz episode, clumsy sequencing of the episodes, and whether fans actually care about who shot Ghost anymore. We did get a reminder that Larenz Tate be AC-TING though.

We get the background and motivation for the current Dre we know and loathe. The construction of the episode as the events of Episodes 10 from the perspective of Dre filled many of the gaps and answered most questions. As we close one chapter, we still have 6 more suspects in the shooting of Ghost. Listen up to hear who we think actually shot Ghost!

Power After Hours Episode 610 Recap - "No One Can Stop Me" Nov 05, 2019

We have reached the "mid-season" finale... and needless to say we are FED UP! While this episode has its moments, there's too many plot holes and inconsistencies to ignore. We explore every suspects motive in the #WhoShotGhost mystery, while deconstructing how some of these choices make NO sense, while others are justified. Not to mention...a contrived copycat cliffhanger! The fans were VOCAL in their disapproval, and it showed in some commentary from you in POWER TALK.

Plus your thoughts too!

Power After Hours Episode 606 Recap - "Inside Man" Sep 30, 2019

If you had 24 hours to scam just think...

This is the question Ghost and Tommy ponder as they try to raise $2 Milly in 24 hours to free Tariq. Inside Man confirms that this is Tariq's scheme, and everything as expected, goes to hell. Tariq is slowly rising in the "greatest hated characters ever" list, Tate gets some good character development via his ever expanding origin story, Cousin Benny is the MVP, and we ask "what's next" after the Tommy-Ghost unholy alliance.
