Synopsis

Pete St. John, assisted by his right hand woman Sydney Betterman, can command a high price for his services due to his success as a freelance political campaign strategist. He generally doesn't care about the political stripes of his clients, he only caring about getting the job done which will ensure his continuation in the business. Pete used to work for Wilfred Buckley until a professional disagreement led to Pete deciding to start his own consulting business, Wilfred who is now a friendly rival for the same pool of clients.

During what is a midterm election year, Pete has among his clients: Washington Governor Andrea Stannard who is being attacked by her main opponent for her personal home situation rather than her politics; wealthy New Mexico gubernatorial candidate Wallace Furman, whose main obstacles to an election night win are not being a native New Mexican and having little personal charisma; and Roberto Cepeda, a Presidential candidate in a strife and violence-ridden but oil-rich South American country.

Pete, however will not be working on the campaign of his friend Ohio Senator Sam Hastings, who is retiring due to an undisclosed serious health issue. That retirement leads to Pete being sought out by political neophyte Jerome Cade, who is looking to win Hastings' vacated seat. Cade portrays himself as a newer version of the popular Hastings except for one fundamental difference.

Through this election season, Pete has several encounters with his ex-wife, investigative journalist Ellen Freeman as she works the politics beat. The issue which she believes doesn't pass the smell test is the reason for Hastings' retirement. Pete and Ellen divorced not because they didn't love each other, but because their respective jobs left them little time to have an actual relationship.

Through this election cycle, Pete may get a different perspective of his work and of his clients in particular, especially when he learns that an unknown someone is monitoring his every move without coming right out and telling him so.

The soundtrack of Power truly enhances the storytelling and emotional depth of the series. The music perfectly captures the intensity and intrigue of the political world that Pete St. John navigates, adding an extra layer of tension to each scene.

The music in Power feels disconnected from the plot and characters, often coming across as an afterthought rather than a carefully curated element that complements the narrative. It fails to create a cohesive atmosphere or enhance the overall viewing experience.

The instrumental pieces are masterfully composed, creating a sense of urgency and suspense that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. The use of different musical styles and motifs for each character adds a unique touch to the soundtrack, making it a standout element of the show.

The soundtrack of Power fails to capture the intensity and drama of the political campaign storyline, with repetitive and uninspired musical motifs that do little to build tension or engage the audience. It lacks originality and fails to leave a lasting impression on the viewer.
