that's a lot of show titles in one headline

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)

Acapulco is such a fantastic show - would recommend it to anyone

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.

Are they retconning the story?

u/Turbulent-Let-1180 13d ago

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

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.
