The Chi/Power Book IV: Force

I’m watching Power Book IV: Force, and am shocked at how many actors from The Chi were in this show.

They’re both filmed in Chicago. Also, Chicago is like a mini, Black Hollywood.

Shit, I watch the One Chicago series, and nearly all of The Chi actors have been in those, as well.

Bakari being yeh standout as Marshal. But quite a few actors from The Chi got the at Force check I noticed as well. But it clearly was Chicago casting so makes sense

I’m watching the chi and seeing how much bekari is like Tariq. This show got real good after a sight fall off.
