Imagine being a teenage girl with the ability to shoot electricity from your fingertips at will. (Or imagine being surrounded by teenage girls who could.) That’s the premise of The Power, a new series from Prime Video.

The Power happens in our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. The series adapts the award-winning novel of the same name by Naomi Alderman. Check out the trailer for the show below.
