Season 1 recap

The first season of Power Book III: Raising Kanan was an exploration of betrayals, secrets, lies, and the ways in which they fester, metastasize and ultimately erupt. The overarching theme of this first season was, "You reap what you sow." In other words, actions can have consequences.

Every character in the series was hiding something - from the world, from each other, from themselves. As the story unfolded, they each had to grapple with the unintended and destructive consequences of the information they had withheld.

While the ways in which these betrayals, secrets, and lies manifest themselves may differ, one truth remains constant: No one can be trusted in Power Book III: Raising Kanan. And nothing is ever as it appears.
