Upon his return he forms a powerful partnership with the upstart Enzo (Arturo Muselli)…and together they begin to take what they feel they are entitled to: ambitions which extend beyond Naples and the borders of Italy. 4-disc set in either format.

* Power, Book III: Raising Kanan – The Complete 1st Season (Lionsgate)
$34.98 SRP DVD

—–Set in Southside Jamaica, Queens, in 1991, “Raising Kanan” is a prequel to the original “Power” franchise. It is a sprawling family drama that revolves around the coming of age of Kanan Stark — Ghost and Tommy’s mentor, partner, and adversary. When we catch up with Kanan here, he is the fifteen-year-old only child of Raquel “Raq” Thomas, a cocaine distributor with an emerging network of dealers across the city. Much like the original “Power,” “Raising Kanan” explores themes of identity, violence, and legacy, but it is also a deep dive into the very pathology of family — the unique, complicated, and fraught dynamic between parent and child, mother and father, brother and sister — that offers both a refuge from the divisiveness and discord of an increasingly fractious world…and opportunities for the ones who are closest to us to betray us and our values. 3-disc set.
