It appears James "Ghost" St. Patrick has it all -- a drop-dead gorgeous wife, a stunning Manhattan penthouse, and the power and success that come with owning hot new nightclub Truth. But a closer look reveals a man living a double life. When Ghost isn't tending to his Fortune 500 business, he's catering to clients of another operation: a drug empire that serves only the rich and influential. While loyal sidekick Tommy protects the cash-cow narcotics venture at all costs, Ghost's new reality is using Truth as more than a front to launder money. It's a way out of the drug game and into a legitimate life with his family, even if everything he loves becomes unknowingly threatened. "Power" is co-executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson (who also co-stars) and show creator Courtney Kemp Agboh ("The Good Wife").

This has to be one of the best season premieres that I've seen in a long time because so much happens in this episode and it's set up to show you what season 5 is going to be about, that it felt as though that this was a season finale.

In this moment of mass shootings and families being separated at our southern border, Power Season 5 is not just good television, it is vital.

It's a wonder that any of these people are alive, as they continuously make impulsive decisions based off raw, in the moment emotions.

Tariq does something in this week's Power premiere that is so devious, so final and so unexpected that it makes me genuinely proud of him.

40/100 - theyll do anything to keep a show going, including ruining absolutely everything, changing every character to fit the story no matter how unbelievable

As the series stabilises after the climactic Season 4 episodes, the fifth season portrays the main characters in a state of seclusion, where it appears that this is the first time all of them are on completely different pages of each other. The cracks in the St. Patrick family becoming too wide, Tommy's need for the people around him becoming more apparent, Kanan's arc coming full circle—there are many great aspects to this fifth season, and it sets up the final section extremely well, with more tension created by the end.

This season is one of my favorite seasons, a close tie to the last season!
