People dislike Tariq who is certainly a class in itself but I find Tasha even more annoying, there is no end to her nagging and complaining. Writers dont even bother writing good interesting characters, they keep creating drama by characters constantly fighting with everyone and complaining about everything. Plus, this show is trying to be progressive and supportive of african americans yets glorifies and romanticizes drug dealing and murder and not to mention is trying to create a even bigger chasm between races. The dialogue (not really a spoiler) Tariq has with that girl , who tells him how only a few af-americans are "hardcore" agenda driven and "loud" and have no problem basically crying wolf is demeaning and depressive really.
The original Power at least was about something, Ghost's redemption, trying to do better and teach Tariq about his mistakes. Sure it had like a million lame artificially created dramatic conflicts but it wasnt bad.
This is. Its basically about drugs, how to cheat at school, how to avoid murder but at the same time ironically claiming oppression and BLM. You cant have a african american kid doing all the stereotypical things but at the same time him crying racism at every step. Its ridiculous.
