Imagine a world where teenage girls suddenly and without notice became the apex predators of the human race. Imagine that their new power lay dormant in older women, and younger girls would develop the same ability when they got older. Imagine a world where the patriarchy was on its final legs and the dawn of a new world was at women’s fingertips. This is the world of The Power, Prime Video’s latest series. Through several intersecting stories, The Power follows the sudden impact of teenage girls developing a new organ that allows them to release electricity from their fingers. With the power to take lives or heal, these girls will change the world. There is no “if” here, as the structures that prop up the patriarchy will crumble; it is just a matter of when.
