What?!? Have you even watched one episode of season 2? This show has so many twists and turns that you don't even know whats going to happen next. Season 2 has been far better than season 1 to my surprise.

I've watched both seasons of Power & Empire. They both feature mediocre writing & acting, the bad writing especially stands out from Power. Choosing one over the other is selecting between two piles of sh*t.

Kind of like the Nyets & Raptors.

Listen if yall like it cool, I gave them a chance & I just don't care for either show.

I can feel you on the acting aspect w/r/t Power but definitely NOT the writing...I compare it to the Wire whereas some of the best scenes in Power lose the impact because acting isn't as strong...

The story is still really good, IMO

Agreed, the acting isnt as strong as The Wire or Breaking Bad no doubt, but the writing has been really good, this show might be end up going down as one of the best if they can keep this up.

Well one of these shows is based on NJ, the other NY.
Nets & Knicks? :lol:

Power is not too bad, some of the story lines are a bit out there but I dig the music.

The main reason why I wont put Power in front of Empire is because primarily due to realism, but Power has grown on me, but it isnt as good as Empire. i do think Empire is better written as well.

Empire is something you can actually imagine going on somewhere on the globe, it's based on real things.

There's just too many unrealistic things happening in Power to take it seriously, the list is literally endless.

I just read up on Power, and it seems like an interesting show. Definitely will take a look at it.

Can someone link me to the show Empire? That word is way too broad, and can't seem to find the show.. :lol:

Nope.

Now I need Tasha to kill Ghost. I hate his ass.
