It’s been a little while since we all celebrated the wonder of the Power Universe and understandably so. After all, we have all needed a little bit of time to properly process the end of Tariq St. Patrick’s journey since Ghost went off the airwaves last year. Not to mention, the team at Force is hard at work at bringing us an epic farewell season for Tommy Egan, and the cast and crew of Power Book III: Raising Kanan have been working to prepare the fourth season for us to enjoy.
​
But at last, our long drought regarding news from the Power Universe has come to an end. For recently, STARZ offered up a bevy of gifts for us. Since they recently revealed that March 7, 2025, will serve as the release date for Raising Kanan, and as an added bonus, they even released some updated details on the show, and some first look photographs for us to enjoy. All of which we will share with you now. So, that we can all prepare ourselves for another epic season of storytelling. One that will bring us closer and closer to Kanan’s tragic fate.

'STARZ announced recently the highly anticipated premiere of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” season four, set to debut on Friday, March 7, along with an exciting reveal of first-look photos from the upcoming season. New episodes of the unpredictable, star-studded, and action-packed drama will be available to stream weekly on Fridays on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
 
Season one of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” will be available for free sampling on the STARZ app and across participating OTT streaming and on-demand platforms beginning January 31 through February 28. Viewers can also binge and catch up on seasons one through three of “Power Book III: Raising Kanan” on STARZ ahead of its season four premiere.

As previously announced, season four will introduce new cast members Pardison Fontaine as “B-Rilla” and Chris Redd as “Early Tyler,” who will join series stars Patina Miller as the formidable drug queenpin “Raquel Thomas,” MeKai Curtis as the rising and ruthless “Kanan Stark,” Joey Bada$$ as the unpredictable “Unique,” and Tony Danza as the notorious Italian mobster “Stefano Marchetti.” The cast also includes Wendell Pierce and Erika Woods as “Snaps and Pop,” London Brown as “Marvin Thomas,” Malcolm Mays as “Lou-Lou Thomas,” and Hailey Kilgore as “Jukebox.”

Season three left viewers reeling with its shocking plot twist, setting the stage for an even more intense return to South Jamaica, Queens. As the Thomas family navigates the fallout from their life-altering decisions, they remain oblivious to Unique's return and the chilling consequences of his near-death experience.

In the riveting fourth season, slates have seemingly been wiped clean for Kanan, Raq, and the rest of the Thomas family in pursuit of a fresh start. However in the eye of the storm, one very dangerous obstacle looms large, Unique is alive. Unique makes a volatile and violent return, as he hunts to upend the lives of the Thomas family. Amidst the chaos, the Thomas family faces a truth that can no longer be denied: You are who you are. Although you may be capable of change, the fundamentals remain the same, and sooner or later, you will be forced to confront the inescapable reality of your inherent nature. In season four, whether the family chooses to reject or embrace the truth may be the difference between life and death.
 
“Power Book III: Raising Kanan” is the second series in the expanded “Power” Universe franchise. Sascha Penn serves as showrunner and executive producer for season four. The “Power” Universe series is executive produced by the creator and showrunner of the original “Power,” Courtney A.

​
It is definitely safe to say that the vast majority of crime stories, follow a fairly similar formula when it comes to crimes involving money. Wherein the investigator or investigators in question, untangle a sorrowful web. One where someone got themselves into a lot of trouble with money, often times owing the world to others, and in a desperate attempt to find a payday and find relief they either come to harm or do great harm to others. Which forces the good guys to bring the perpetrator to justice in a manner that reminds us that money is the root of all evil and to be responsible with it, so we never find ourselves in such a sorrowful position. 

Which is so widely used and so of the norm, that it is supremely refreshing when a show takes the time to offer up something different on the matter. Just so we can enjoy something exciting and new, and wouldn’t you know it… Darby and Joan is a show that offers up just that. For the next episode in this Acorn TV series, took the time to provide us with a different kind of money-themed crime story. One that at first, appeared to be nothing more than a chance for Joan to do right by her sister. Since Max fired off a distress call in this tale, one that brought our heroes to an idyllic town in the middle of nowhere to help Max… do mushrooms. Oh, and celebrate her forthcoming nuptials.

Because she met a man named Dermot and fell head over heels in love with him. For he was a charming man, with lots of money no less, since we know that Max does like the finer things in life. But alas, his health came under fire in this story and of course, Jack and Joan sprang into action, and came to learn that someone tried to poison him and well, since he had dealings all around the town, it seemed as though a traditional plot involving money and greed was about to come into play. But soon the duo learned that Dermot was also a scoundrel and a fraudster. One who was bankrupt and owed everyone so much money. So… he instead poisoned himself to defer accountability and to buy himself time to figure out how to steal, beg and borrow for his next project.

Which really did add a new twist to this type of story. Since they more often than not focus heavily upon external causes of harm. So, it was refreshing to see a scoundrel harm himself to deflect and distract because that’s something a scumbag would do. But aside from that refreshing twist, this story did offer up so much more, as it is wont to do. Since downtime in this tale allowed for Joan to start to ponder upon love and whether or not she wanted Chris. Because she acknowledged in some capacity, that Jack had made her a flutter as well, and she clearly needs to decide who she wants, and that process started here and of course… this story offered up quite the surprise regarding the case involving Jack.

Simply because there were no more leads to go upon. All that was left was to clear Jack’s alibi on the night his enemy died and see if by chance Sophie could be located. Which brought forth the surprise in question. Simply because, Sophie showed up at the camper and appeared ready to talk. Which sets the stage for resolution at last. But before we ponder further upon that, we can celebrate one refreshing tale. For this one offered wondrous character growth across the board and of course, gave rise to a different kind of crime story involving greed. Because you just don’t see the villain of the story also be the victim, and that was epic and well, now that this case has been solved… the time has come to bring closure to Jacks longstanding nightmare. And it will be interesting to see how that plays out in the season two finale. Until next time.

When we set out to achieve our dream, be it becoming the next great actor in the world or just perhaps the best possible accountant we can be… we have an idea of what we can expect when we reach the top. In that, there will be relief, joy, and a sense of peace we’ve never known. Not to mention, we know we will be well compensated and comfortable in life and that most important of all… the work will be easy and beautiful. Sure, we might have to bust our butt to maintain, but we are doing what we love. So, there’s no way it can ever be that bad. But alas, that is an incorrect view of our dream job, simply because we lose sight of a tough fact.
​
In that, whether we are getting into a creative field or a corporate one… we are still working in a business, in an industry and that means… a few things will surprise us. In that, there will be tough days ahead, where it seems we cannot smoothly perform the duties we think we are born for, something we experience in the piddly day jobs that we left behind. Not to mention, we run into bosses and coworkers that are as annoying as the ones we hoped to never work with ever again. Because that’s just business. A world that works for profit and a world that expects results, and while that seems to be a jaded and cynical view of the dream, it’s truth. Which leaves one to wonder then… how do we navigate that world and find joy within it?

Well, it just so happens that the next episode of Heels explores just that. A feat that ‘Who the Hell is the Condamned?’ accomplished by first pointing out that hard truth. Because Charlie Gully was FURIOUS about the fact that Jack made a last-minute switch to the card and the story. For he felt that the Condamned’s arrival was nothing short of a middle finger to FWD and that compensation was expected. In the form of having the Condamned get his ass beat at Dystopia the following week. A move that Jack protested to properly tell a story, and that of course… brought hell down upon him. Wherein he came to learn he was an employee of Gully’s for the time being and had to figure out how to work alongside him, and still grow the league in a manner that would fulfill his wants and needs.

Which in turn, allowed for the show to ponder upon a couple of other unique ideas regarding this problem. Because everyone felt as though, this was no longer the dream job but a job. Since Diego didn’t like being Bill’s gopher and did not like being uninformed of the surprise. Not to mention Crystal was listless since the focus was on the cross promotion over the women’s league. So, this segment of the story offered up some simple ideas on how to keep that sense of wonder and joy in a dream gig, in part by offering inclusion and kindness. Which Bill did for Diego to make him feel once again that he was a partner and not an employee and Crystal… was encouraged to wrestle down in Florida. To put her skills on display and to help create clout for a woman’s league with the DWL. In essence, to just seize an opportunity and roll with the punches to make that opportunity grow, and sometimes… we have to do that in a dream job. 
​
But of course… the bigger lessons in this matter were indeed handled by Jack and Ace, and the entirety of Florida Wrestling Dystopia. Because Jack, with good council from Bill and Willie, came to realize that taking chances with his writing and offering up moments that would appease his egotistical new boss, would help him appease all parties, and that was the right approach. Since it set up a grandiose twist that the audience loved to no end and made Gully happy, and the devil was in the details in this journey. In that, when we encounter the surprise reality that we are working a job, a far less annoying one mind you… we have to understand that this is a business, and we are a professional. That means, we have to act accordingly and find a way to make it work. So that we can get past that rough patch and get back to what thrills us. 

Which was… a fine lesson to come into play. Because we simply don’t think about that truth when we set out on our quest to reach our dreams… but we should take this into account. So that we are ready when it happens, and it won’t shock us in the slightest. We will just do what needs to be done, and be the consummate professional that comes to understand, while we are blessed, there will be tough days. The kind that never outweigh the good if we handle business the way Jack did here. Which made for a powerful episode for certain, one that put a hard truth on display that we don’t discuss enough, and once again… this show deserves our awe for calling out some hard truths to prepare the viewer for their grand journey to the top, and it will be interesting to see what other new lessons we uncover as our rewatch continues along. Until next time.

​
Ask any parent out there what shocks them the most about being a parent, and you’ll get back the same, fascinating answer. In that, they cannot believe how quickly their little ones grow up. As though time begins to move faster the instant, they hold their baby in their arms and well… there’s merit to that answer. For truly, children just seem to mature and move into new age brackets in the blink of an eye, and it really does stun us through and through, that one minute, they’re just making noises and soaking up the world, and the next… they’re graduating school and preparing to take on the world and apply the lessons they’ve been taught.

Which is why we also hear to cherish those years and spoil children in the right ways when the moment applies. So that they have warm and lovely memories for the rest of their days and well, the wonder of children growing up is top of mind today, simply because it was featured in the next episode of When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel. A feat that ‘Dancing Teens’ accomplished by way of a big moment in the town. In that, Allie decided that for her birthday she didn’t want to go with her dad’s plan. She wanted to have a full-on dance party. One free from adults, where she and her pals could just enjoy the evening and live in the moment. Which the majority of the town got behind, minus a few salty individuals. Who expressed long standing worries about teens and how being left to their own devices can be trouble.

Plus, it also wounded Nathan since it was kept from him for a time. But a good talk with Allie, and the town coming together to let the dance happen… brought forth that reminder… that kids grow up so fast. Because just like that, Allie was no longer a little girl, wherein she would let her dad call all the shots. She found agency, she made that decision, and she pushed for others to follow a path she decided. Which is what we see when children reach that perfect age between teenager and adult, and that made for a powerful and sobering sequence for certain. One that really did speak to the fact there will come a day where our little one will suddenly be more than the apple of our eye. They will be a person that is ready for more, ready to change everything with their hopeful nature. But it also informed us, that we should not feel sorrow when it comes. Because when see them taking charge like Allie, it means we raised them right, and they’re ready, and we can cherish the wonder of the journey as they teach us a thing or two. As was the case with Elizabeth having to learn a new dance or two.  

But while that made for powerful storytelling, this particular episode had so much more to offer. After all, we saw the intrepid governor be a true man of the people and connect with a constituent in a way he did not know was possible. Plus, Rosemary was finally able to dig into that story and see what she could learn about this age old, unsolved case, and that was entertaining and engaging to watch. But truly, the other major plot line of note in this story involved Angela. Who felt left out in this story and was worried she would always be an outsider. But her father made sure to point out her value and worth and the majesty she contributed to the town, and the world. That helped her for certain and influenced her to attend a college for the blind… to know that sense of belonging.

All of which made for an amazing story. One that all of us could relate to. Since we all have that little one in our lives that one day, isn’t so little, and that does always surprise us and move us as it did for so many here. But of course, that’s what this show does best, it resonates with all of us on some level, and it was nice to see a series express that and, in a way, prepare us for the future of the show. Since clearly, there are teens that are about to become adults and forge their own path in this story. But while we wait for that big day, we can revel in this wondrous story about the majesty of family and how each moment really is as precious as they come. Until next time.

​
There are a great many reasons that so many of us tune into the magnificent Acorn TV series, Darby and Joan. For some, it’s the about the adventure. Since we are treated to stunning visuals of Australia that take our breath away and soothe us. For others, it’s about the unique cases this show offers up. Because every single mystery Jack and Joan dive into is unconventional. But above all, the biggest draw of all when it comes to this series, are its stars and the characters they play. For Bryan Brown and Greta Scacchi are simply electric on screen and add incredible depth and life to Jack and Joan, and of course, let loose and shine, acting wise, every chance they get, as evidenced by the next episode in this journey.

For the next chapter in their adventures brought this duo to a winery. To think and reset since the trail went cold regarding Jack’s case and that allowed for some magnificent moments come forth for Jack and Joan and in turn, Bryan and Greta. For instance, this was a story that saw Joan just live in the moment and just be herself and in a way start to find herself once again. Which was all beautiful since it speaks to how eventually we heal from loss and find the beauty of the world once more, and Greta sold this with incredible honesty, and truly lifted our spirits in doing so. Because we’ve all wanted Joan to find some measure of peace and happiness again and she is so close at last, and we are all here for it.

As for Jack, well… we will dive into his journey in just a moment, because we need to talk about how there was real fun to be had in this tale and with this mystery. Since there was a fire at the winery, one that was motivated out of a combination of grief, and revenge, and it exposed an illegal gambling operation on the premises. One that was working to take over the winery and just ruin the original owners. Which prompted Jack and Joan to have their own Casino Royale moment. Wherein they made their way into the casino on the property, and just went nuts, and had fun in bringing down the villains. Which brought about a lot of hilarious moments and a generally fun vibe, and it is good that the show snuck this in. Since it counterbalanced the ugly stuff.

Because Jack was laser focused on getting answers in this episode and was pouring over evidence and really thinking upon the case and who would go this far to keep the case a secret. Which helped him to think outside the box and realize that there was likely some dash cam footage available regarding the demise of his nemesis, and he was right, and that led to a stunning revelation for certain. In that, the person that is tying up loose ends, is nothing short of a ghost. Since the footage revealed that Sophie happened to be alive and well, and faked and lied about her death to stay in hiding. But the time has come for her to risk it all to keep the case’s secrets hidden, by any means necessary… it would seem. Granted, that doesn’t mean she crossed that line.

But clearly, she isn’t too concerned about the outcome and there’s nothing to say she didn’t do this to keep everything a secret. A move that does put Jack at hard risk here. But while we wait to learn more, we can celebrate an amazing tale. One that let the actors and their characters shine and truly, Bryan Brown deserves his own round of applause here. Since he sold Jack’s obsession here with a cool and calm that would make the most infamous investigators in television proud, and he really did relish his James Bond moment in the casino. All of which reminds us of how amazing it is that this series landed these talents, and it will be interesting to see what other great moments await us, as season two rolls along. Until next time.

​
One particularly fascinating aspect of the human condition that we don’t talk about enough… is how much is happening around us at any given moment. Which we likely don’t talk about because we have so much going on in our lives and are laser focused on getting we want. But the fact of the matter, is that the world really is bustling, and so many are searching for meaning or celebrating love or grieving with sorrow, and that is just fascinating and overwhelming to know. To the point where even the world of stories avoids looking into it to not leave readers and viewers with too much to process. But we should talk about this, and we should recognize this. Because it gives us perspective and allows for us to offer grace… since then we are acutely aware that others are on quite the journey and deserve kindness.

Which is why the Hallmark Channel series, The Way Home is of note. Simply because this show explores that truth about our world and never was that more evident than during this week’s episode. For ‘I’ll Have to Say I Love You in a Song’ showcased how people are constantly looking for something in the moment. For instance, Kat was looking for answers regarding the Pond and whether or not her father knew anything about it. Which brought her back to 1974 to learn more about the vote that took place in 1965, and it had her questing about in 2025, to the point where she confronted her mother about her father’s sweater, the one that El found by the Pond. To gather those answers. Which informs us of the fact that some folks out there are just searching high and low for answers to important questions in their lives.

While there are others, who just want to know as much as possible about life, about their family, anything. For learning gives them perspective and gives them joy, and that lesson was expressed through Alice here. Who spent all of her time in 1974, observing Colton and Del’s big first date. Wherein she was able to learn how much Evelyn loved Colton back then, and how devastated she was by the fact that Colton did not choose her. But he simply could not. For he and Del did share that powerful connection, the ‘opposites attract’ connection, if you will. For they did not seem to fit together, but their hearts just called to one another and that was what Alice witnessed here. That draw, that need that only true love can bring forth and that led to some gentle moments for certain. The kind that showcased the beauty of the world and how our thirst for knowledge can indeed bring us good days.

But of course, what would a story about the many goings on of the world be like, without exploring the fact that sometimes… people are just going through it. Because the world is a rough place and can bring people to utter sorrow. Wherein they have to work to heal and find their way back into the light and that was Jacob’s journey here. For he started to experience a little Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because of what happened to him back in the day, courtesy of Cyrus Goodwin. To the point where he was hallucinating, and he even had a panic attack while at the Goodwin estate when a business partnership offer was made to him. Which left him besides himself and worried about tomorrow. That hammered home that lesson while resurrecting another from season’s past. For Del stepped in and was gentle with her son and he opened up to her and asked for advice and help, which she was happy to give.

Which harkened back to last season’s thoughts on healing, and how it takes a village sometimes to bring us back from the darkness. All of which made for a fascinating tale. One that truly reminded us of the fact that the world is always in motion, and while we sit here and worry about our own concerns or celebrate our wins, others are doing the same. Which may seem overwhelming but should instead make us feel special and connected to something greater. Because truly, we are all sharing in such moments at any given time and that’s just incredible when you think about it, and now that this amazing little musing on such matters has come to a close, it’s onto other matters. Such as what secrets Del is hiding since she seems to know so much more than she is leading on, and what Colton truly knows, since he kept things vague here, and it will be interesting to garner those answers as season three continues along. Until next time.

​
One particular belief that a great deal of us hold to in this life, is that we have a fine understanding of what kind of people live in the homes that surround us. Which we of course, base upon basic sensory information. For instance, if they’re noisy and raucous, they’re probably annoying jerks. But if they keep to themselves, they’re probably some low-key individuals we could have a nice chat with. Not to mention, our interactions with the majority of our neighbors are quite pleasant, as are the meals or drinks or conversations we sometimes share, all of which helps to quickly lock up the notion that so many of them… are probably nice and worth living next to. But the fact of the matter is, we know nothing of those that surround us. Because in reality, we simply don’t know them the way we know ourselves or our family.

So, in order to truly know them, and know if they’re good people… we would need to see into their everyday lives and what we would learn could potentially shock us, as evidenced by the next episode of The Couple Next Door. For ‘Tangled Temptations’ took the time to really ponder upon what people are like behind closed doors and that brought forth both fascinating and unsettling moments for certain. For instance, this episode informed us that some of our neighbors, might be far more disturbed than we know. Since Alan went all out here to further his obsession with Becka by breaking into her home to learn about her, be near her, and doing so… prompted him to steal footage of one of her and Danny’s recent trysts. In an effort to satisfy his sexual curiosities and to find agency when he discovered his image in town was sour at best. 

Which informed us we just don’t know what our neighbors are capable of, and this took Alan’s odd nature to new heights for certain and the exploration did not end there. Mainly because Becka and Danny made an effort to cheer Pete and Evie up by taking them out to the beach for the weekend. Since Evie and Pete were still trying to heal from their pain. Which brought forth, a weekend of discovery. In that, the new neighbors both learned that Becka and Danny were into the polyamorous lifestyle. Which brought forth all kinds of questions from Pete, and of course… more flirtations between Danny and Evie, since there is chemistry there. The kind that this series will undoubtedly explore for reasons we will get to in a moment. Because what mattered more in this instance, was the fact that this too… exposed how little we know about the lives of the people that surround us and that sometimes… the only way to know is to spend time with them, akin to this.

But there was mention regarding the chemistry between Danny and Evie, and that’s worth expanding upon further. Mainly because, this series also took a little time to think upon how important it is for couples to communicate and work to heal together when dark times befall them. Because Pete and Evie were on two separate paths here, and both felt lost in their own right but did little to reunite and that isn’t helping the situation. Since Evie feels abandoned and lonesome and that could bring her into Danny and Becka’s bed and stead no problem, and Pete with her. As they both try to desperately feel something over the loss they suffered and that could be disastrous for their love. Plus, this episode made sure to follow up further on Danny’s side gig. By informing us that he owes a lot of money to others and has pissed them off and that side venture will be hazardous to his career and his health. Since the boss found out and because… he literally came under fire at the end of this story.

However, while we wait to see what comes of that, we can celebrate one fascinating study. One that really did showcase, that we haven’t a clue about the people around us. For behind closed doors they truly are different people outright and that’s important to think upon and realize. Not to create fear mind you, and not to make us nosy, but just to remind us… that we never really know the everyday people in our lives, despite thinking that we do. All because we just don’t spend that much time with them, and perhaps having that fluffier perception of them is best. So that we don’t get caught up with the Alan’s of the world and their weird habits, and the potential dangers that now surround Danny, and steer clear of proclivities and curiosities that might endanger our relationship if we’re not ready for them. That lesson of course, will also be brought up down the line, since Evie is indeed ready to play with fire, and it will be fascinating to see what comes out of the lessons explored here in the weeks to come. Until next time.

Caution: This article contains spoilers for the Series Premiere of ‘Asia’.
​
It is definitely safe to say that a great deal of people believe that we have in many ways, learned all there is to learn about the world we live upon. After all, we know how it functions, we know what the biospheres look like, and what kinds of animals live within them. Not to mention, we also know what lived on this world before us and what the planet was like millions of years ago. So, there’s not much else to explore. But that is, an incorrect view. For while we have learned a great deal about Planet Earth, we still have so much to learn about its functions, and so much of it to showcase. So that everyone truly understands the incredible world we live upon. 

Which is why BBC America and Sir David Attenborough continue to team up and offer stunning new documentaries about our world and its wildlife. To help us with that particular goal and it just so happens that a new documentary on the network debuted last night, that will truly show us the wonder of a continent that we do indeed believe has been explored from top to bottom… Asia. For there is still so much for us to learn about this massive continent, the largest on the planet no less, since there is incredible and stunning wildlife that exists in this place. And to properly kick off a grand journey through the world of Asia, the series premiere of this show opted to start just off its coasts and in the waters that surround it.

Which allowed for ‘Beneath the Waves’ to offer up a comprehensive and powerful journey under the seas. Wherein we came to learn that the waters near Asia are nothing short of stunning. For within their glowing blue depths are life untold. Some of which thrives in the deep, such as sharks and whales that go about their business and feed and hunt as needed, and beneath them are rare species that have evolved and functioned in the dark for ages on end, and not too far from them… are vastly different biospheres. Some of which feature creatures small, like mudskippers, who just go about their day in places that are critical to our atmosphere, while others… thrive in some of the most beautiful places imaginable.

Since this documentary informed us that Asia is home to some of the largest and most incredible coral reefs to grace our beautiful planet. Wherein every single creature living within their colorful and critical infrastructure, have figured out how to live in harmony. Since there are sightless and slow little slug-like creatures known as sea bunnies, that slowly navigate the waters and survive by feeding upon a poisonous portion of the reef that makes them hazardous to eat, allowing for them to thrive. Not to mention there are species of fish and species of water bound snakes that have learned to work together to feed, giving rise to an incredible segment of our world that deserves our awe for certain.  

In fact, this part of our world is so resilient and so incredible that life finds a way to thrive even in the areas we’ve manage to nearly ruin. Since there are sharks that thrive in polluted waters and with a little care, new biospheres have erupted on various islands we’ve abandoned. Allowing for nature to reclaim what we thought we were masters of. All of which made for a stunning and beautiful journey. One that truly showcased how little we still know about our world and how much we need to study, and of course this premiere reminded us of the importance of protecting it all. Because we have been given the ability to do so, and should exercise that gift, so that this beautiful part of the world continues to thrive for generations on end. Until next time.
