If you enjoy gritty and expansive crime shows with drug elements like Snowfall, Animal Kingdom, and Top Boy, this new Netflix hit is for you. Power, one of the most acclaimed and popular gangster crime series of the 2010s, was just added to Netflix on Monday, November 9. With 63 episodes across six seasons, it's the best new addition for a long-term binge this week on Netflix, especially for fans of gritty crime dramas. Power premiered back in 2014 and concluded in 2020 before spawning three existing spinoff series – Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. With two more upcoming spinoffs, Power is one of TV's biggest crime empires. All 63 Episodes Of Power Are Now On Netflix – What It's About Image via MovieStillsDB Power is one of the best new shows to binge-watch on Netflix this week, whether you haven't seen the series in years or it's your first time diving in. The original Power series centers on James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Hardwick), a wealthy New York City nightclub owner who lives a double life as a drug kingpin. Ghost owns and operates Truth, one of the hottest nightclubs in Manhattan that draws some of the most elite circles in the city. Ghost also uses Truth as a front for his money laundering scheme, secretly overseeing an enormous narcotics empire alongside his childhood friend, Tommy (Sikora). Despite wanting to go clean, Ghost's criminal past is far from being done with him. On top of all this, Ghost finds himself in hot water after starting an affair with Angela Valdes, the one who got away, behind his wife Tasha's back. Unbeknownst to Ghost, Angela is an assistant U.S. attorney whose office is hunting down a mysterious drug trafficker named Ghost. Things really start heating up for Ghost and Tommy when several of their drug couriers are targeted and killed, revealing a dark link to their former mentor Kanan Stark, who is plotting his revenge from behind bars in federal prison. These are just a few of the things that happen in Power's riveting first season. Power Is One Of The Most Bingeworthy Crime Thrillers Of The 2010s Power is one of the most binge-worthy crime thrillers of the 2010s, especially since all six original seasons are now available on Netflix, and several spinoff series offer even more episodes. Power earned a strong 81% Rotten Tomatoes score across all six seasons, which includes several perfectly rated 100% RT seasons, such as seasons 2 and 5. The New York Daily News gave Power season 1 4/5 stars, noting, "Much of the real beauty of Power lies in the details, conversational and visual." Power is one of the easiest shows to get hooked on from episode 1, making it a perfect new addition on Netflix this week, where it will hope to make a statement on viewership charts. Critics praise Power for its great characters, strong performances, and gripping tension that is sustained throughout its 6-season run. That said, audiences have criticized the new Netflix crime series for losing the plot in its later seasons, leading to what some may consider an unsatisfying ending. There is just truly something about Power that makes you want to keep watching it, especially during its first three seasons, where the drama builds to extraordinary highs. Power should be at the top of all crime drama fans' Netflix watchlists this week. Power Release Date 2014 - 2020-00-00 Network Starz Cast Omari Hardwick James 'Ghost' St. Patrick
