Power Book Ii: Ghost Ep 2001 - S2 Trailer

Okay, people. Let's talk Ghost. Specifically, that Season 2 trailer for Power Book II: Ghost. You know, the one that dropped and sent the internet into a frenzy? Yeah, that one.

My Hot Take on That Trailer

Look, I'm just gonna say it. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I need a drink. But did that trailer blow anyone else away, or was it just... fine?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Ghost. I really do. But trailers are supposed to make you scream "I NEED to see this!" This one kinda made me go, "Oh, that's nice. Cool. So, pizza tonight?".

Monet Tejada: Still Queen?

Now, Monet Tejada, played by the amazing Mary J. Blige, always delivers. Always! That’s not even a question. She’s fierce. She’s ruthless. She's the reason to watch, honestly.

But even her scenes in the trailer felt a little… muted? Maybe it's the editing. Maybe it's me craving more drama. I want Monet to yell! I want her to scheme! Give the people what they want!

Tariq's Still Doing Tariq Things

And then there’s Tariq St. Patrick. Listen, Tariq is the reason we’re all here, right? The legacy, the drama, the hair. But sometimes, I just want to shake him.

He's always got some new complicated plan, some new danger lurking. And, you know what? It can get a little exhausting to watch. Like, can he catch a break? Or maybe, should he just go to college and major in something that doesn't involve drugs?

The Love Lives: A Messy Masterpiece

Of course, we can’t forget the love lives! Because what’s a good crime drama without a healthy dose of romantic entanglement? Always a mess, always entertaining.

I’m honestly not sure who is dating who at this point. Just a giant web of connections. Is this gonna be better or worse than Gossip Girl?

Unpopular Opinion Alert!

Okay, here it comes. My unpopular opinion: I think Ghost sometimes tries too hard. There, I said it!

It's got all the elements, the grit, the glamour, the intrigue. But sometimes it feels like they're throwing too many plot twists at us. Slow down! Let us breathe! Let us enjoy the drama before you drop another bomb!

Where Do We Go From Here?

But still, despite my little trailer induced grumbles, I'll be watching. Of course, I'll be watching! I'm invested. I need to know what happens to Tariq. I need to see Monet continue to rule.

And I secretly hope that my lukewarm feelings about the trailer are completely wrong. I hope the season is absolutely bonkers. I hope I’m glued to my screen, yelling at my TV.

So bring on Power Book II: Ghost Season 2. Prove me wrong. I dare you. I double dare you.
