In a guest column for the Times, the 'Power' chief responds to criticisms of the Starz drama on the eve of Sunday's series finale.
After six hit seasons on Starz, “Power” comes to an end with Sunday night’s finale. It leaves behind a complicated legacy.
: In the modern age of television storytelling, we are no longer burdened with the requirement to make polemical characters, to prove to white people that we are good too.The revolution is to be able to create characters of color — women characters, LGBTQ characters — that make the same bad or good decisions that straight white male characters have been making all along.
Safia Dirie, one of our writers for most of the run, one day turned to me and said, “Is ‘Power’ a tragedy or a morality play?” and we discussed it at length. I decided it was a mix of both. When people make immoral decisions in our show, they are rewarded with tragedy. It’s funny, the idea that “Power” doesn’t show the devastation of drugs on our community. “Power” shows the devastation that the game causes to your life — Ghost lost friends, ran scared, lost his first love. Lost his daughter.
