    This is one monstrous cliche. I'm saddened by the waste of the acting talent, and troubled that the entertainment producers believe that the public is stupid and mediocre enough to swallow this as entertainment. There's no way that critics truly believe (collectively) this deserves a green metascore. There must be some form of collective corruption.

    The worst one sided monosyllabic show I’ve ever seen. Lacks complexity and depth.

    While not flawless (a meandering start; too much padding), The Power is (dare I go there?) electrifying.

    The show clearly wants to underscore that women, given too much power, would be as bad as men. But in focusing so dogmatically on its central argument, it forgets to inscribe any of its characters with a motivating force.

    It's a compelling, epic production with a strong central concept.
