Just need to say Power is one of only three shows I watch. It's an good, entertaining black show but please kill the Wire comparisons. The Wire is just much deeper, better acting, consistent and social commentary mixed with entertainment at its finest. That is not to take anything away from Power.
But as entertaining as Power is, the illogical aspects of some soap operaish storylines and poor acting from some characters lets it down. I can't take 50's and Tommy seriously in their roles- their characters make me laugh. Let's not even get to Shawn. That being said, I'm still hooked and will be turning to Season 3 because it is the closest thing to filling my Wire void.
