Our favorite summer escape, Power, has returned with a vengeance for its 5th season.
Promotions for the new season teased that “Everyone Is Implicated,” helping the premiere attract 1.55 million viewers and rave reviews.
If you’re one of the few who’ve been sleeping on the Power phenomenon for the past five seasons, it’s not too late to wake up.
Each season, the writers throw constant curve balls, giving viewers new reasons to fall in love with the characters.
Despite the ever-changing storyline, there are five main reasons that Power always leaves fans wanting more.

The City

Power is set in “the city that never sleeps”, and New York City shines in every scene.
There are so many beautiful shots throughout all of the seasons at famous New York City landmarks and the beauty, culture, and grit of the city set the tone for every jaw-dropping episode.
The Fashion
Since Power is set in NYC, home to events like the Met Gala and Fashion Week, it’s only right that every person on the show is a ‘fashion killer” (including producers 50 Cent and Courtney Kemp).
If you’re ever in need of wardrobe ideas, the style alone is another reason to watch.
These flicks prove that the award-winning cast is always dropped and dapper, both on and off set.
The Music

“They say this is a big, rich town/I just come from the poorest part,” the lyrics to the show’s original song and opening theme performed by 50 Cent and Joe set the musical tone the show with great transitions and soundtrack selections to match the scenes.
