Today’s episode of STARZ’s hit show BMF is all about family and trust.
A strong second season opener for STARZ’s BMF has arrived after a long two years, and this time it’s bigger and badder than ever.
The second season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan premieres on August 14 and it is going to a dark territory.
That is because Kanan is starting to learn more of the drug game that his mother Raquel Thomas introduced him too. Raquel now controls every aspect of the product distribution due to Unique getting framed for murdering Officer Howard on the previous season. I must say, Patina Miller brings a fearsome presence whenever she is on the screen portraying Raquel.
Everything from her acting, delivery of lines, and mannerisms, makes me suspend my disbelief to see how strong and intimidating of a character Raquel is as she is the boss in town.
There are also more stories that are going to be fleshed out during this season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Jukebox might be moving forward with her singing career, Lou and Marvin doing whatever they can to prove their loyalty to the family (even on the dinner table as they all talked about it), and Officer Howard being alive. Howard survived the gunshot wound that was inflicted by Kanan. But that came with a price as he does not remember anything from that night. Could Howard be doing this to protect Kanan since he is his father? We will have to see.
There is something about Unique that the viewers will be looking forward to by the end of the episode. I cannot spoil what transpired, but Unique might be looking for revenge soon. Joey Bada$$ joined Power Book III: Raising Kanan on the previous season and I had no clue that he had it in him to play as a villain. Unique is one of the best villains in the Power universe and I am curious to see where his story is going.
Overall, this is a strong opener for the second season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The dark and suspenseful period of the 1990’s in Queens, NY is all on display for this episode as Kanan is starting to evolve to the Kanan that we first seen on the original Power. Vacation time is over for the family as it is time to get back to the streets because Power Book III: Raising Kanan is back with a vengeance!

Unlikely pairings is a television trope that never gets old. Tonight’s Power Book IV: Force totally went there with it.
When the Flynn family told Tommy Egan to get out of Chicago, they meant it! That is how I can sum up this week’s Power Book IV: Force.
Sunday October 17, High Town returns with its second season on STARZ.
High Town uses the location of Cape Cod to explore the realities behind the current opioid crisis. The show offers a different perspective of Cape Cod and strays away from the traditionally preppy narrative. The series also offers a different depiction of addiction in America with has been heavily racialized over the decades.
High Town makes an active effort to show the domino effect of addition and the diversity of families impacted by it. The show goes beyond just showing the struggles of addiction and the challenges presented with sobriety, but captures the humanity and emotions behind the opioid crisis.
With addiction being politicized and often demonized, especially with the history of the crack epidemic, there was an awareness to make sure the cast reflected society. Rebecca Cutter explains that the show works against the assumption that the current opioid crisis and heroin epidemic solely affects small White towns. Actors Dohn Norwood and Atkins Estimond appreciate the show’s ability to capture both humanity and diversity of the opioid crisis. The lead character Jackie is both Latina and queer, and actress Monica Raymund takes pride in the ability to expand the representation for people who identify with the character and herself. With the second season of the show the cast was able to grow with their characters while also expanding on the stories introduced in the previous season.
High Town is more than just a story about Cape Cod or the opioid crisis; the crime drama series offers suspense, mystery, consequences, and a realistic portrayal of the road to recovery.
