Some of the episodes of Power Play are among the best TV out there. Drama, excitement, and Micheal Reilly playing an evil genius who simultaneously creates and solves endless nightmares in both his personal and professional life every episode. Most which could singlehandedly derail the team without even touching the drama unfolding on the ice most episodes.
*SPOILER ALERT* My only complaint is that the last season never really paid off for me when I watched the original broadcast. I won't go into specifics but suffice it to say that the show makes some dramatic changes in characters and tone I can't fathom. *END SPOILER ALERT*
To sum up, if you can even find this series on DVD for less than $30, Give Power Play some time to impress you. It starts strong and some of the episodes are absolute gems. Just be prepared for the third period to get really, really ugly.
