"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.

Chris lee D @RT96007231 Sep 12, 2025 It doesn't have anything to do with the cast of power and power forced or power book 2. Kanan wasn't there much. It find it real offensive that they continue to keep going on with this and cancel all the other ones. Ghost son in power book 2. Was going well and then was cancel. They should tie it all together and continue to Reunite the Tommy and Ghost Jr. To run it all back. See more robbie s @RT59609017 Aug 5, 2025 I get its kanan when he younger but it doesn't explain how Tommy and ghost met kanan.... Its pretty much shows how rogue he went in the drug game and not having a heart... See more Slick R @SlickReviewer Jun 22, 2024 Raising Kanan is probably the worst out of all the Power Books. The original Power with the entire cast of Ghost, Tommy, LaLa, etc. was the best, then Power Force with Tommy, then Power Book 2 Ghost. See more Voken @RT21839824 Jan 17, 2024 Amazing! Don't really listen to some of the bad reviews if you're looking to watch. This season along with the whole show has a great story, great writing, and phenomenal acting. Definitely can't wait to see where it goes in the future! See more Terrence R @Trobinson1988 Dec 31, 2023 Power book 3: season 3 continues to deliver phenomenal performances, stellar writing and chemistry between the core characters. It introduces some new characters that have purpose to the show and provide a much needed boost. So far, it continues to be one of the best, if not the best thing since the original. See more R.S. G @RT92921323 Dec 26, 2023 Raising Kanan is moving pretty slow- the first season was decent- but since season 1- character development with the key players is moving at a snails pace— kinda boring—it's time for Kanan to grow up- the young man playing young Kanan is not believable at all- no disrespect to him- he just doesn't seem natural- the role is very forced- and please don't talk about the character selection- young Juke is obviously tall—versus older Juke who is all of maybe 5' 2"—of all the installments- this one seems to be the worst thus far- that's disappointing.
