"Power Book III: Raising Kanan" goes back to 1991 when Supras are the whip of choice and a fly shearling coat is a symbol of status in the hood. Kanan navigates this world of glamour and grit as he comes into his own and gets out of the shadow of his mother, Raq, who runs the streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, with her brothers, Marvin and Lou-Lou. Despite Kanan being under their watchful eyes, danger lurks just around the corner. There's Unique, a rival dealer who has his eye on the family's turf, and Detective Malcolm Howard, a pestering cop who gets a kick out of harassing community members and getting under Raq's skin.

The standalone nature of “Kanan” was once the show’s biggest weakness. But in its second season, with room to breathe and space to add more layers, the advantage of starting from scratch becomes clearer.

One of the best shows on TV. Representing the late 80s and 90s so accurately.

So amazing! Everything about it, the storyline, the acting, everything is amazing. This is a must-see in the Power Franchise!

This Power series isn't as good as the original Power or Tommy's story in Force. The actors just aren't as good.

The acting on Raising Kanan is too tier. Hands down some of the best acting in a drama series I've ever seen! The performances are captivating and believable…. and the way that they captivate they 90s era and nostalgia is EPIC! I can't wait for more.
