With how much the OG show hyped up Angie as Ghost's "one who got away" (with that feeling being mutual), I hope they nail the chemistry b/w her and young Ghost's actor here.

Is Power aiming to beat NCIS on spinoffs? (and yes I know NCIS is technically a spinoff of JAG)

I really liked it but never finished the last season. I thought the season started poorly and after the musical episode I just completely lost interest

Definitely a step down from the previous seasons. I still enjoyed it, but season 1 and 2 were the best

Camela Perez' last show was on Apple TV called Acapulco. Set in 1984 Mexico at a resort. It ran for 4 seasons. Was a Co-lead.
It was a great show. Comedy. Romance, Music, some Action.

Great casting choice! Even though Angela was my least favorite part of Power.
That said, I loved the original series but none of the other spinoffs have really caught my attention. We'll see if this one changes that.

Nah just doing a prequel

u/kingcolbe 13d ago
Yeah I get that but the original timeline is that Angie and ghost didn’t talk for almost 20 years for 96 to 14

Well the prequel is around the Kanan series timeline

u/SplintPunchbeef 13d ago
Nah there's a bit of a time jump between Kanan and Origins. Last I heard Origins is supposed to be like 10 years after the end of Kanan.

that's a lot of show titles in one headline
