Everyone has their own favorite TV show. Well mine is Power which streams on the television channel Starz. People have their own taste but I prefer shows with crime and real life issues. Written by Tim Goodman “Power seemingly wants to be a show that tells a big, complicated, meaningful story about, well, the perils and problems of power and how one man deals with them. That man is James “Ghost” St. Patrick “. This show , showed things that could happen in a man’s life and how he dealt with them even though his method isn’t always the right way . I started watching this because my friends recommended it to me and I binged watched it ever since . Other people don’t like this show because they believe they see it as more of a soap opera which is also said by Tim Goodman .
