THE POWER
Created by Naomi Alderman
Spring 2023 appears to be the season for book-to-screen adaptations. Based on the award-winning 2016 novel of the same name, The Power follows the lives of young women after a world-changing event where women inexplicably develop the ability to release electricity from their fingertips. Like the book, the show touches on a number of topics, from feminism and gender to politics and power struggles. Starring Academy Award-nominated actor and certified LGBTQIA icon Toni Collette as Margot Clearly among its diverse cast, alongside bisexual actor Auli’i Cravalho, this is essential viewing.
