‘The Power’
The Power, an adaptation of Naomi Alderman’s 2016 novel, tells the story of a world where women discover they have the power of electricity and upend the social structure as we know it. The Prime Video series explores the discovery from the perspectives of young, incredibly compelling girls from all around the world as they seize their powers for the very first time. It features a powerful cast that includes Toni Colette, John Leguizamo, Auli’i Cravalho, Toheeb Jimoh, and more. This sci-fi story feels refreshing in a growing landscape of sci-fi and fantasy television. But, just a warning: The Power premiered in 2023 and Prime Video has yet to announce its renewal, so it’s best enjoyed as a limited series.
