We will start with our favourite show, Power Book IV: Force, which you can watch every Tuesday at 22:00. Tommy’s antics do not go unnoticed, but that is part of his charm. In his world, every second person is a villain, including him. But since he is giving the main character energy, he is undoubtedly our top villain, and we are all rooting for him to get to the top as unscathed as possible. He continues to be the Tommy we love but has not wasted time making Chicago a playground. The question remains, though, if he will finally have his day in the sun or remain second in charge.
If you love Power Book IV: Force, you will love these shows on Showmax.
