Power

Summer TV just wouldn’t be the same without this explosive, edge-of-your-seat crime drama starring Omari Hardwick. Power consistently brings nothing but jaw-dropping action and plot twists galore every season, and Season 5 was no exception.

The fifth season of the highest-rated series on Starz, saw the deaths of major characters, shocking character developments and a cliffhanger that fans are still trying to wrap their head around. As there are still over six months left until fans can check in with Ghost, Tasha, Tommy and Angela, it leaves you wondering how the show can top itself next.
