Feels like you're glossing over the other moments in the trailer where it's showing all the older men being equally shitty. Feels like the double standard of judgement is kind of the point.
@LittleHobbit13 cope. The bouncer was doing his job asking for ID, the father of that girl who was abusing her power is already a criminal, so that doesn't matter. Literally what did Michael Pena even do
Yep, more or less in the same way a lot of male teenagers can do and actually do criminal acts in our (non-fictional) world ... including vandalizing things around, being part of criminal gangs, making threats and enjoying violence on harmless people etc. Got the reference :) ?
"We don't even notice the fear we constantly live with" Of course you don't, you're not a man. Your risks and thus fear are heavily mitigated. It's not you against 8 billion others. You've never been ALONE.
Weird how all the top comments from 2-3 weeks ago are all the same tone: "Book was great. Show is great. Can't wait for next one." Almost like they were written to show the executives at Amazon how beloved this show is.
It’s almost as if people can’t like something, and people can’t like something more so that executives won’t cancel shows after one or two seasons because they don’t pass a percent watched metric.
Agreed. I saw this trailer a couple of weeks ago and figured I would give the book a read. It definitely has the potential to run for many seasons the way the novel is written. I'm excited to see how the series is.
1:36 actually that wouldn't have worked. Despite what all the movies and tv shows tell you, shocking a completely stopped heart does not get it to start pumping again. Defibrillators are named so for a reason. They are meant to try to correct the rhythm of your heart if it ever goes into ventricular fibrillation. That means that the heart muscles are not contracting in the right "rhythm" for your heart to be moving the blood through your system (they also use defibrillators for atrial fibrillation as well, but when it comes to how it's shown in movies, resuscitating someone, this applies more to ventricular fibrillation). What it mainly looks like when a heart is in v-fib is like it's just fluttering randomly. So basically what the defibrillator does, is it sends and electric shock through the heart to actually STOP the heart which then hopefully it starts back up again but "reset" so hopefully in the correct rhythm. Or sometimes if it doesn't start up on its own you will need to then start chest compressions. But yah, like in the example of this trailer and in so many movies and tv shows, they show them using defibrillators on someone whose heart has completely stopped. Sending that electric signal through a stopped heart will not start it back up again. But yes, I know, it's a tv show about girls who can shoot lightning from their fingertips, lol. Just wanted to share that information since it applies to a lot of shows and movies and might be important to know if someone was caught in a situation where they see someone collapse. Once you see that they have no vital signs, you do chest compressions, chest compressions are the number 1 priority. If you had to choose between giving breaths and chest compressions and you could only do one, do chest compressions...
And you know the bird’s heart was completely stopped… how? Birds go into states of shock (including right before death) that make them look and feel completely lifeless. So, ipso facto…
@@PneumaNoose 🤷♂Because it's hollywood, the whole electric shock starting someone's stopped heart thing is basically the accepted fact in all of tv and movies. From the clip the heart looked motionless, a beating heart beats in almost like a wave pattern so there's really a very small "rest" period where none of it is moving, if it was in fibrillation it would look like it's quivering. But hey, if the show comes out and this is the very first tv show or movie that accurately portrays that, then hey, I'll gladly eat crow and say that they actually got it right. Unlike others, I'm never afraid to be wrong and to learn something new, I love learning. 👍
This show suhcks!!!! What males it suck even more besides being poorly put together is the femiinism😱 Can we come across one show that dosent push anything?!!! Sick of it, what is haooening to America😭
@@theodorenelson4194🤣 This series is proof that AntiSJWs/Incels have zero media literacy and will cherry pick everything to fit their narrative. Feminism means simply believing women should also have equal rights, same as men. Thats it . Feminism doesn't mean women should get more, or should have more power. Its about equality. The Power TV series shows that power corrupts, it doesn't say "Women bad" if that was your take then you clearly didn't pay attention to the show. Just like how Patriarchy or the idea of men being superior gives men more power and thus be corrupted. Absolute power corrupts. It doesn't only favour one gender. The series is Pro Feminist as it shows what Feminism isn't. Women having all the power is not feminism.
@@BreadLoaf12 Yeah. The premise of the story determines the direction all the other elements will align toward. Rather you like or not is your taste. It's similar to some classical works but with a twist. The problem is that to keep the narrative cohesive is up the conflict the characters face.

You are completely unaware of the consequences of Too Much Freedom Darling… Teenager or Adult / Man or women / Religious or atheist / black or white or brown… There should always be a limit and line not to be crossed… “Too much Freedom is Equally Dangerous and Apocalyptic”
I really hope they kept the framing device from the book. I would love to see the future world, and the conversation between Neil and Naomi is an interesting tool to answer some of the "but women with powers would be NICER" arguments against the book. spoilers for non-book readers. women with powers are not nicer. 5,000 years in the future when the world is a complete matriarchy, an older writer tell her male protegee that his carefully researched historical novel is unrealistic because "Everyone knows" that men are the gentler sex and if there was ever a time when they ruled the world, it would be a less violent and more peaceful place.
It's literally about the pros & cons of power. Power can lift but it can also corrupt. It's the individual people and the mob mentality who hold that power whose actions decide which fate it will be. It's a great idea to build from.
2:02 "This power has made me see a world that could be better for all of us" Meanwhile, in half of the trailer these girls are just causing havoc. Otherwise, seems interesting
If you pay a bit of attention, then no? The guy that was saying that was in a completely different part of the world to the one girl causing a bit of havoc.
*coughs* Sabrina remake... STILL annoyed by the stupid af patriarchy drop... Witches, by nature, don't care. They are duality of nature, with a caring Triple Goddess representing the three stages of women and the Horned God, her consort, who rules over nature, sexuality, the hunt, and the life cycle.
@@breath888 I think they are covering the whole book in the first season anyway. But yes, the book will remain most likely the best thing of the two, I mean, I consider it already a masterpiece... despite being a little bit rushed at the end and the presence of multiple very graphic scenes...
Interesting concept. Kinda reminds me of FreeForms Motherland: Fort Salem. But hopefully with better writing. Lol. But I have to say, what I do find interesting, is that this theme takes place in modern times. Usually shows with this theme has to take place after an apocalypse, on a alien world, after a virus, or even in an alternate past. But after hearing some of the production hell that this show went through, I’m willing to give it a chance. And after reading the book, I actually hope that they at least postpone the ending (if they plan on keeping the same ending as in the book.) especially if they wanna try to get more seasons out of this show.
I’m so excited to see this! This is one of my favorite books I’ve read in the past few years. I’m also coincidentally happy that I just found out about the show the day before it premieres, so I don’t have to wait long for it. Lucky me!
They also picked the perfect time for this show, only if people see the real meaning behind the story and not look at it as another show about mutations or superheroes...... what's going on in real life can sometimes be best described through movies and shows on TV
This show is incredible and a must-watch. The cast did an incredible job of bringing to life the characters from the book and the storytelling is immaculate
@@antoniusgrave1348 It's always been men (or at least 99% of them ?), since the dawn of time. But yes, probably also non discernable percentage of women would behave in the same way, given the chance.
@@hunterkudo9832 You're stating the obvious, and something I have said too. But you ignore the stats. If there is 1 bad woman every 100, you can be sure there are at least 20 or 30 bad men every 100. Of course I'm making up the numbers, but I'm quite sure it's actually worse than those ones.
😂😂 Yaa mate… Many delusional women and beta males gonna love this …. And they gonna shit on men for building this world and sacrificing themselves for thousands of years… 😂😂
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, regardless of its wielder. Even good intentions can become evil if we lose sight of the purpose of our power.
@@FuccYew As a non-American... I don't really care about that. What I'm saying is that Power reveals the true intentions of whomever wields it. If someone has enough power to do what they want, then you see what that someone always wanted to do with said power. So if a group of women gain god-like abilities, a lot of them will misuse that against other people once they grow into it. Much like how if you raise a child their entire life to believe that they have power over another race/gender/religion/idealogy, a lot of them will misuse that power once they grow into it. Also: you're*
When I first saw this trailer (from an ad) I thought the show was another attempt at the The Darkest Minds books (like what Disney is doing with Percy Jackson). Also, who is here from watching an ad? Edit: Just thought to add, this looks super good!!
The book had zero humour. Infact, it's the most bleak and darker book I have ever read in my life. Which was done on purpose by the author (Naomi Alderman), and actually it NEEDED to be like that ! After reading it twice, I agree with her choose. The tv-serie, I guess they sprinkled some minor humour here and there, but I am gonna bet it's gonna be basically like the book, else it would lose its message.
So excited for this series!!! I am so lucky to have been included in this! Even got to meet Toheeb(the journalist in the series) It's my first ever featured role as an actor! You guys are going to love it!!
@@studpshoota3667 You like to win easy uh :) ? OP never said it's the best series of all time, it's not even on par of the book actually... (and, if you ask me, the best show ever is The Soprano, followed by Breaking Bad).
@@windswar You're gone. Listen, the world would still be a shitty place with women in charge. It's humanity that causes our problems. Everyone is prone to corruption. Greed, murder, theft, and lust for power, etc are things both men and women are capable of falling to.
@@TroublezAhead00 No I'm here :P and guess what ? The book ends exactly like that. Women in charge ? New boss, same boss, same dynamics (just inverted). You happy now :) ? Why don't you read it instead of blabbering obvious things ?
@@kagetsuki23 What the f... are you talking about, historically women didn't have access to university study or a chance to become a scientist, you know they could not vote until few decades ago ? Do you know who discovered radiation and X-Ray ? Yes, a woman. And the DNA with its double helix ? A woman. Who programmed Apollo software for moon landing ? A woman. Do you want me to go on ? ps. A woman had also been for 10 years the CEO of the website you are using right now, TH-cam, who would have thought uh ?
The Power? More like Girl Power... sheesh how obvious this series is about the "struggle" of women.... and as a man... I fucking love it. Great series. It's great to see these new series and movies giving women a louder voice for equality.
I just watched the first three episodes. I super like it!!!! I'm a fan of John Leguizamo since Executive Decision and Toni Collette since Little Miss Sushine. Can't wait for the succeeding episodes. This series will be a.huge.hit
You know something isn't right when the voice inside Allie's head tells her to take over the convent and become the new religious leader...when the previous leader was actually a good person. The real message is...Man or Woman, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
@@Marcus_MG42 It's very likely. The production was troubled and it costed a ton of money, surely they did not recoup the investment. Now there's even the writers strike in the middle of things... Anyway, the (awesome) book was already enough for the concept. This show was a free bonus - it diverted so much from the book that it almost looked like made from a fanfiction.
Just read the book. Harrowing in places (if you've read the book you'll know what I'm referring to). Not sure if that was necessary. There wasn't a lot of diversity amongst the women in terms of how they handled their powers, most of them go mad and descended into homicide and degeneracy. Hopefully there's more variety in the series?
I read the book, because I read the blurb and thought it must be the wokist shit alive. I was wrong, it’s starts that way, but the point is once woman become as powerful as men, they become just as corrupt, and start doing horrible things, even raping and killing men, not collectively, just like in the real world there are good and bad women with ‘the power’. The point is actually that power corrupts, not that there’s a good or bad gender. It’s a clever book
If it's good, I hope they don't cancel this like Y: the Last Man. I was fully enjoying that, especially agent 355. I still want to watch that more than this.
@@modrell86 Sorry but no I watched the show (which was meh at best) and read the comic which was a bit better but the guy was nothing but a plot convenience , he didn't act like a person he was a hollow shell meant to make the story continue .the true main characters were everyone else but him
Unfortunately it means we were patient before your time came forth. Today's generation are programmed to be fast pace and zero tolerance for being patient.
Looks good, a lot of superhero shows and movies with female protagonists are generally done badly, and that's nothing at all against the women in them, I hope this is different. Something I could get my fiancé into perhaps.
My observation is they follicle stimulate that way to emotional reactions, right, with but enough training to get agitation however unaware of the closeness to the taking of their team ....
Tgey have definerly deleted comments all over this section. Theres not even one bad one. That just doesnt happen. Not even with early game of thrones did that happen. God I hate Amazon
@@windswar lol oh yea? Where are all these "Maga Incel comments"...? Or is that just what u call people who disagree with you? Lol. The derangement is real. What I'm refering to is the fact this show is kind of rubbish. Yet the comments saying so are far and few between. Amazon is notorious for doing shit like this. Just look at Rings of Power.
Fortunately they have brains which are judgemental unlike yours who is trying to terminate anyone who has superpowers even they have supes in their team
Let me guess: A deep story that sets up a multi-season story arc, the season finale ends on a cliffhanger and then it gets canceled. I've had the rug pulled out from under me too many times to get my hopes up about a new show that will probably leave me hanging. Think that's an unfair attitude? Then STOP CANCELING TV SHOWS ON FRIGGING CLIFFHANGERS!!!
@@windswar Books and movies/TV shows are often significantly different. They can have different characters, different plot lines and even completely different endings.
@@lurkerrekrul The characters are the same in the book. Just a couple adds (for example, Jos brother and Tunde female friend). You know that the main executive producer was Naomi herself, right ? She wouldn't have accepted anything too diverting from her book. Go read the interview with the showrunner Raelle Tucker (SFX magazine) and you will see, she states it clearly.
Same...sounded cool, but the trailer...nah. Don't need a show that has a hidden message about how ALL men are bad, ALL women are good, when I know how horrible both sides can be. (Blood Countess, Cleopatra, and Catherine the Great to name a few)
@@fireblade295well they better not do that because in the book the entire message is that the outcome would be the same regardless of gender and that power corrupts brother in Christ women in this show up brutally murder people for no good reason even when it’s to defend themselves
Paper Girls got canceled? Had a better concept than a female teen version of Chronicle...I already know that there'll be terrorists, a cult, and probably handed heavy matriarchical messages. As if we don't have Catherine the Great, Blood Countess, Queen Elizabeth's first thirty years (rest her soul), Elizabeth The Great, and that is a few, to warn that ANY person can be a horrible leader.
Isn’t the premise reminding anyone else of that one Catscratch episode (“Charge!”) when Mr. Blik got magnetic powers? The title’s even the same thing he called it: “The Power”! 😆
@@flexluthor1 well I'm not sure to see how many dislikes there are, I just know at the view count they have compared to the thumbs-up ratio I'm not alone in thinking this is going to be a hot mess LOL

Lmao. An analogy that went toooo far to be remotely correct.
Apparently that's the point of the book this is based on. That power by any gender is still bad
@@zerofox2030men behave far worse, watch the news 😂
This is a brilliant series!
I’m so excited to see this! This is one of my favorite books I’ve read in the past few years. I’m also coincidentally happy that I just found out about the show the day before it premieres, so I don’t have to wait long for it. Lucky me!
Does it have a good ending
Watch it and you'll find out
@@fasterslower6778 Depends on who you're asking. As they say... one man's dystopia is another woman's utopia.
Only someone who hungers for power, or is delusional, could possibly consider that book a favorite.
@@NostalgicGamerRickOShay You haven't even read it. It's just social commentary, a parody/reversal of roles.
when will we be getting season 2!
Exactly.
This show is great there's a lot of meaning behind it. They picked the perfect cast for this also.
They also picked the perfect time for this show, only if people see the real meaning behind the story and not look at it as another show about mutations or superheroes...... what's going on in real life can sometimes be best described through movies and shows on TV
Lexie Liu Manta would be a good song to go with this show.
"Justice, like lightning should ever appear, to some men, hope, and to other men, fear !" this should be good.
You Need a serious help
This show is incredible and a must-watch. The cast did an incredible job of bringing to life the characters from the book and the storytelling is immaculate
my cousin acted a lil in the show he was the teen millitary boy
@@0YkSide0 Which character is that ? We haven't seen it
Power never saves, it only destroys.
Like men have done since forever. I agree.
@@windswar No, like all who gain more power than they can handle. There hasn’t been one human who has been able to handle power.
@@antoniusgrave1348 It's always been men (or at least 99% of them ?), since the dawn of time. But yes, probably also non discernable percentage of women would behave in the same way, given the chance.
@@windswar there have been powerful women and many of them fucked up too.
@@hunterkudo9832 You're stating the obvious, and something I have said too. But you ignore the stats. If there is 1 bad woman every 100, you can be sure there are at least 20 or 30 bad men every 100. Of course I'm making up the numbers, but I'm quite sure it's actually worse than those ones.
The book this was based on is incredible. Fingers crossed the show is as good.
Loved every episode. 👏🏼 Please make Season 2.
Alright just binged this whole thing last night, soooo good! Going to need a season 2, stat! Pretty please with a Cherry on top! 💅✨
Thought provoking series. Loved it!
The answer to all your "suppression". Violence, or you know "power". Is pretty much the point of the show.
What??
Who cares s suppressed?
So literally "Girl Power"!
Yep
😂😂 Yaa mate… Many delusional women and beta males gonna love this …. And they gonna shit on men for building this world and sacrificing themselves for thousands of years… 😂😂
Never heard of it before and I missed the book. But the show is fascinating. Very good.
And the book is much better ! Check it when the season is over !
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, regardless of its wielder. Even good intentions can become evil if we lose sight of the purpose of our power.
Your right. We started accepting feminists and now they’re drunk with power and destroying America
@@FuccYew As a non-American... I don't really care about that. What I'm saying is that Power reveals the true intentions of whomever wields it. If someone has enough power to do what they want, then you see what that someone always wanted to do with said power. So if a group of women gain god-like abilities, a lot of them will misuse that against other people once they grow into it. Much like how if you raise a child their entire life to believe that they have power over another race/gender/religion/idealogy, a lot of them will misuse that power once they grow into it.
Also: you're*
Then you should read the book that's it's based on, because that's LITERALLY the message.
When I first saw this trailer (from an ad) I thought the show was another attempt at the The Darkest Minds books (like what Disney is doing with Percy Jackson).
Also, who is here from watching an ad?
Edit: Just thought to add,
this looks super good!!
Yeah I thought it was an ad too 😂😂😂
wouldent think darkest minds the yellows were basically tasers had to have contact to shock you
Is it me or did they make the story funnier than what the book presents? 😒
The book had zero humour. Infact, it's the most bleak and darker book I have ever read in my life. Which was done on purpose by the author (Naomi Alderman), and actually it NEEDED to be like that ! After reading it twice, I agree with her choose.
The tv-serie, I guess they sprinkled some minor humour here and there, but I am gonna bet it's gonna be basically like the book, else it would lose its message.
@@windswar Yes, the book was very dark. I agree with you and I hope the series does it justice.
Just watched the first episode and it's def worth watching. Kind of surprised by how underated it is.
Valiant Comics calls them Psiots, Marvel's calls them Mutants, the next stage to human evolution...
Shooting lighting from our hands? Lol
@@OmegaProxy I rather travel the universe with my farts like Saitama sensei.

I am so lucky to have been included in this! Even got to meet Toheeb(the journalist in the series)
It's my first ever featured role as an actor!
You guys are going to love it!!
Well done
I think it looks awful. Tired of girl power. Old boring concept.
@@peterscoop2647 would you leave that kind of message if it was all boys?
@@isa2758 But it's already ''all boys'', in the real world. Reality check for ya.
This show is BEYOND PHENOMENAL 💯💯💯 everyone needs to watch it
breaking bad and game of thrones are objectively better.
@@studpshoota3667 You like to win easy uh :) ? OP never said it's the best series of all time, it's not even on par of the book actually... (and, if you ask me, the best show ever is The Soprano, followed by Breaking Bad).
Can't wait to see a series when women abuse their power and get called superheroes
@@alexaalexa2308 You don't find anything like that, here. Aside the fact that this is a tv-series and not a movie.
great another reason never let anybody have super powers because everyone are insane 😅
Right, let's just leave superior muscle strenght to boys and men, works fine for our such perfect world ! Oh wait...
@@windswar You're gone. Listen, the world would still be a shitty place with women in charge. It's humanity that causes our problems. Everyone is prone to corruption.
Greed, murder, theft, and lust for power, etc are things both men and women are capable of falling to.
@@TroublezAhead00 No I'm here :P and guess what ? The book ends exactly like that. Women in charge ? New boss, same boss, same dynamics (just inverted). You happy now :) ? Why don't you read it instead of blabbering obvious things ?
@@windswar You think we were still in the middle age? I guess you never seen an exosuit.
@@kagetsuki23 What the f... are you talking about, historically women didn't have access to university study or a chance to become a scientist, you know they could not vote until few decades ago ?

ps. A woman had also been for 10 years the CEO of the website you are using right now, TH-cam, who would have thought uh ?
The director says it’s about “inclusivity because that’s the way it’s going”. Inclusivity doesn’t empower teenage girls; it excludes them.
What do you mean?
@@abracadabra1479They're just chatting bull.

Lol. Now you got me thinking that they seriously can’t pass up a chance to make a Star Wars/Sith reference 😂😅
Girls with electrical powers: OMG, STACY!!!!!!! I HATE YOU!
Boys with electrical powers: Heh, look dude! *zaps beer can*
The Power? More like Girl Power... sheesh how obvious this series is about the "struggle" of women.... and as a man... I fucking love it. Great series. It's great to see these new series and movies giving women a louder voice for equality.
He got us in the first half not gonna lie
I just watched the first three episodes. I super like it!!!! I'm a fan of John Leguizamo since Executive Decision and Toni Collette since Little Miss Sushine. Can't wait for the succeeding episodes. This series will be a.huge.hit
I bloody love this show, I'M ALREADY ADDICTED.. ❤
Addiction is serious, and you should probably slow down on your consumption. No crackheads allowed 😂
@@MorganLuscht-yo1zk haha, no crack involved...

@documentarydetectiveiii5217 if you wanted to hear someone like you could've just asked your wife if she thinks your attractive.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This is an AMAZING show!! My whole family LOVES it.
You know something isn't right when the voice inside Allie's head tells her to take over the convent and become the new religious leader...when the previous leader was actually a good person. The real message is...Man or Woman, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
I ❤ this so much! We want more! They have 5 books. Please, don't cancel this. I know a lot of people who loves this.
5 books ? What ? The Power by Naomi Alderman is one book, i wish she would do more but unfortunately it's just one :)
Will be canceled
@@Marcus_MG42 It's very likely. The production was troubled and it costed a ton of money, surely they did not recoup the investment. Now there's even the writers strike in the middle of things...
Anyway, the (awesome) book was already enough for the concept. This show was a free bonus - it diverted so much from the book that it almost looked like made from a fanfiction.
That is a very good Nigerian accent by the journalist character.
He is also Nigerian. He is on the TV show, Ted Lasso playing a Nigerian Footballer.
Just read the book. Harrowing in places (if you've read the book you'll know what I'm referring to). Not sure if that was necessary. There wasn't a lot of diversity amongst the women in terms of how they handled their powers, most of them go mad and descended into homicide and degeneracy. Hopefully there's more variety in the series?
It's just a badly written book.
Wasn't going to watch it but now I am
most going mad and become homicide is pretty realistic.
All empowered n stuff
I read the book, because I read the blurb and thought it must be the wokist shit alive. I was wrong, it’s starts that way, but the point is once woman become as powerful as men, they become just as corrupt, and start doing horrible things, even raping and killing men, not collectively, just like in the real world there are good and bad women with ‘the power’. The point is actually that power corrupts, not that there’s a good or bad gender. It’s a clever book
If it's good, I hope they don't cancel this like Y: the Last Man. I was fully enjoying that, especially agent 355. I still want to watch that more than this.
Maybe because Y: the last man was a horribly show?
@@fizr3564 Your words are lost on this one , as long as it's a female lead she'll (I'm guessing) love it despite it being horrible
@@marshalsunrise6582
Y wasn't a female lead show.
The man character was a male, the whole story is about him.
@@modrell86 Sorry but no I watched the show (which was meh at best) and read the comic which was a bit better but the guy was nothing but a plot convenience , he didn't act like a person he was a hollow shell meant to make the story continue .the true main characters were everyone else but him
❌Well, 7 episodes in, so I can’t say that I didn’t give it “the old college try”
…but gimme a break🙄!!
When I can get Eddie Marsan as a proper cockney Guvnah, I know its going to be a cool series..
anyone can tell me if this is a show an adult male could watch? or is it a show for teenage girls?
Hmmmm...I'd say only for feminist women who hate men
yes all females are powerful, dont forget
The point of the book, and it looks like this series will be the same, is that power corrupts
Oh cool, im reading the book right now and was searching for read alongs. Didnt know it was already turmed into a series
I don't understand people who can watch just one episode of a show per week 😂
Unfortunately it means we were patient before your time came forth. Today's generation are programmed to be fast pace and zero tolerance for being patient.
@@arkitekfran I'm 35 years old but okay
@@arkitekfran thanks for assuming you know anything about me 😆
@@Grapevine_1987 you're right I definitely assumed, but still have zero patience regardless of your age.
Are you really born in 1987 ? And you never watched TV ? At the time the shows had one episode per week (or at best, daily), standard !
So this is out. From someone who has read the book, is it as good?
No, the book is much better, unfortunately.
@@windswar That's disappointing. Unsurprising, but disappointing.
I feel it. I am light. I am love. I am the truth. I am.
Just finished reading the book.
Looks good, a lot of superhero shows and movies with female protagonists are generally done badly, and that's nothing at all against the women in them, I hope this is different. Something I could get my fiancé into perhaps.
It wasn’t done any better here😂 The same man-hating bs that’s been happening the past 7 years
Hey, Isaiah that doesn't allow comments..... chicken. There's a reason women hate men most times. Looks like you're one of the reasons, tough guy.
My observation is they follicle stimulate that way to emotional reactions, right, with but enough training to get agitation however unaware of the closeness to the taking of their team ....
Reminds me of Heroes, so excited for this one
i think what am seeing here is more similar to -SENSE 8. looks good i must watch it!
Tgey have definerly deleted comments all over this section. Theres not even one bad one. That just doesnt happen. Not even with early game of thrones did that happen. God I hate Amazon

Or is that just what u call people who disagree with you? Lol. The derangement is real.
What I'm refering to is the fact this show is kind of rubbish. Yet the comments saying so are far and few between. Amazon is notorious for doing shit like this. Just look at Rings of Power.

@@windswar you can stop the fanboyism now, it's ok to let go.....
Let me guess: A deep story that sets up a multi-season story arc, the season finale ends on a cliffhanger and then it gets canceled.
I've had the rug pulled out from under me too many times to get my hopes up about a new show that will probably leave me hanging.
Think that's an unfair attitude? Then STOP CANCELING TV SHOWS ON FRIGGING CLIFFHANGERS!!!
If it gets cancelled just go read the book and you know what happens at the end, simple uh ? :)
@@windswar Books and movies/TV shows are often significantly different. They can have different characters, different plot lines and even completely different endings.
@@lurkerrekrul The characters are the same in the book. Just a couple adds (for example, Jos brother and Tunde female friend). You know that the main executive producer was Naomi herself, right ? She wouldn't have accepted anything too diverting from her book. Go read the interview with the showrunner Raelle Tucker (SFX magazine) and you will see, she states it clearly.
Is this getting a 2nd season? Totally just watched this while 1st season in one go
So… THIS explains the attacks on the power grid. We are doomed. 🤣
I want a series not a political debate in disguise, I will pass this one.
Same...sounded cool, but the trailer...nah.
Don't need a show that has a hidden message about how ALL men are bad, ALL women are good, when I know how horrible both sides can be. (Blood Countess, Cleopatra, and Catherine the Great to name a few)
@@fireblade295well they better not do that because in the book the entire message is that the outcome would be the same regardless of gender and that power corrupts brother in Christ women in this show up brutally murder people for no good reason even when it’s to defend themselves
I think the overall theme of the story much like Y the Last Man, people will always be rotten no matter if they are men or women.
Oh my gosh I loved this book so much
This show looks pretty cool I will give it a watch
thanks for commenting Loscar!
whats the book called exactly?
The Power
14million views 7k likes, this must be a new record.
Watching this series now. Already dig it, but they sacked paper girls and I liked that show too
Really ?! I was hoping for a 2nd season of Paper Girls 😢
Paper Girls got canceled? Had a better concept than a female teen version of Chronicle...I already know that there'll be terrorists, a cult, and probably handed heavy matriarchical messages.
As if we don't have Catherine the Great, Blood Countess, Queen Elizabeth's first thirty years (rest her soul), Elizabeth The Great, and that is a few, to warn that ANY person can be a horrible leader.
It reminds me of Sense8 and Misfits. And I love it.
I can't wait to be preached at for several hours about how bad men are! LOOKS GREAT!
They can Satire the crap out of this especially concerning what's going on in America right now.
Isn’t the premise reminding anyone else of that one Catscratch episode (“Charge!”) when Mr. Blik got magnetic powers? The title’s even the same thing he called it: “The Power”! 😆
Looks good. I'll watch it for sure. Amazon is in a role with TV shows
hbo max is so much better
