Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping Naomi Alderman, Sarah Quintrell, and Raelle Tucker’s series, The Power, into the ol’ VCR.
Well friends, I have a short one for you today, but I really want to highlight this series. The Power (based on Naomi Alderman’s book of the same name) focuses on teenage girls around the globe, as they develop a new, electrified organ. This new organ, dubbed the skein, grants the ability to shoot electricity outside of the body, and the strength of the abilities varies depending on the person.
Yeah, it’s rad.
In an alternate universe, Roxy would be a character in Skins.
The cast is absolutely incredible. The storyline is told through several different perspectives, making for a beautiful and well-rounded plot. It also uses light science fiction to navigate many of the issues we’re currently facing in society. Plus, Toni Collette’s in it. Need I say more?
I haven’t read the book yet, but it’s definitely on my list now.
You might not be able to get GO! (feat. Karen O) by Santigold out of your head for days, but in my opinion, this series is absolutely worth it.
The Power is now streaming on Amazon Prime.
