Power (Season 1)

Dark, sexy, thrilling, and completely bingeable are words I would use to describe the first season of Power.  James St. Patrick AKA Ghost has risen from running the streets to being a premier nightclub owner in New York.   He has a beautiful wife, a penthouse and his club caters to the Manhattan elite.  However he has one dirty little secret; he may dress and act the part of the respectable businessman but has a double life as one of the city’s biggest drug kingpins.  He and his partner, Tommy Egan (played by the scene stealer Joseph Sikora) try to balance their struggle to keep their street business thriving while maintaining the façade necessary to keep under the radar of the police.  As if this wasn’t enough, enter Ghost’s old High School sweetheart, Angela, a US District Attorney investigating drug crimes.   What follows is a whirlwind of twist, turns and love triangles.  So basically, great TV!
