Power Book III: Raising Kanan: Season 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2024)

Tomatometer 1 Reviews 83% Popcornmeter Fewer than 50 Ratings

"Power Book III: Raising Kanan" goes back to 1991 when Supras are the whip of choice and a fly shearling coat is a symbol of status in the hood. Kanan navigates this world of glamour and grit as he comes into his own and gets out of the shadow of his mother, Raq, who runs the streets of Southside Jamaica, Queens, with her brothers, Marvin and Lou-Lou. Despite Kanan being under their watchful eyes, danger lurks just around the corner. There's Unique, a rival dealer who has his eye on the family's turf, and Detective Malcolm Howard, a pestering cop who gets a kick out of harassing community members and getting under Raq's skin.

Audience Member Raising Kanan is probably the worst out of all the Power Books. The original Power with the entire cast of Ghost, Tommy, LaLa, etc. was the best, then Power Force with Tommy, then Power Book 2 Ghost. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Voken Amazing! Don't really listen to some of the bad reviews if you're looking to watch. This season along with the whole show has a great story, great writing, and phenomenal acting. Definitely can't wait to see where it goes in the future! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Tiffani C This show is authentic, well acted with great storytelling and writing. It makes me nostalgic for the 90's. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Terrence R Power book 3: season 3 continues to deliver phenomenal performances, stellar writing and chemistry between the core characters. It introduces some new characters that have purpose to the show and provide a much needed boost. So far, it continues to be one of the best, if not the best thing since the original. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review R.S. G Raising Kanan is moving pretty slow- the first season was decent- but since season 1- character development with the key players is moving at a snails pace— kinda boring—it's time for Kanan to grow up- the young man playing young Kanan is not believable at all- no disrespect to him- he just doesn't seem natural- the role is very forced- and please don't talk about the character selection- young Juke is obviously tall—versus older Juke who is all of maybe 5' 2"—of all the installments- this one seems to be the worst thus far- that's disappointing. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review Gloria The character that plays Kanan tries to hard with his acting and talking. It doesn't look natural, and it takes away from the storyline. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
