It’s hard to accept the world The Power presents, however well-researched it is. If not for this, the show would get an easy A-. The performances and storytelling are really that good. As such, it’s a B, with a zap, and definitely worth the watch. Read full review

Away from the core electrical condition being a somewhat jarringly obvious metaphor for the difficulties of puberty – Periods! Orgasms! Whatever next! – The Power is filled with thrills, and will appeal to a wide audience from teenage fans of Stranger Things to nostalgic adults fresh from bingeing Yellowjackets or The Last of Us.

The result is a compelling, action-packed series that, while heavy-handed at times, is still delightfully thought-provoking to watch. Read full review

By the back half of the first season, several characters’ stories have at last begun to intersect, in ways that promise intriguing overlaps in the future. But without a clear sense of where this show is headed, it may be too little too late. Read full review

The script's brush strokes are generally broad, and the multiplex blockbuster vibe will suit some viewers more than others. The marital battles between Toni Collete's mayor Margot and her husband (John Leguizamo) lean towards cliché, and, later in the series, the wide-eyed recounting of the science behind the rise of the girls' power feels somewhat hokum. It's the ideas behind the drama that are most exciting. Read full review

A decently executed and mostly faithful screen adaptation that undermines itself by demonstrating why a novel is the perfect format for this story. Read full review

It feels like it’s going to be an exhausting show to watch; for every moment that will be interesting and show the real change in the power dynamics between men and women, there might be two others that will feel like we’re barely in one story before we rocket to another. Read full review

É difícil aceitar o mundo que The Power apresenta, por mais bem pesquisado que seja. Se não fosse por isso, o show teria um A- fácil. As performances e a narrativa são realmente muito boas. Como tal, é um B, com um zap, e definitivamente vale a pena assistir. " ..
