The Power episode 1 recap
In Amazon’s 9-part global thriller The Power, all teenage girls in the modern world suddenly develop the power to electrocute people at will. It’s hereditary, it’s inbuilt, and it can’t be taken away from them.
Younger girls can awaken the Power in older women. Soon enough, every woman in the world can do it. And with that comes a startling reversal in gender-based power dynamics — and the revelation that how the world responds may merely repeat the mistakes of the past.
We open with Toni Collette delivering an “I Am Iron Man” press briefing. The only difference is she won’t need an arc reactor to generate her Power.
