Right now, The Power is on Amazon Prime Video and several other platforms, sitting at 6/10 on TMDB. A reliable choice when you want a procedural that delivers on its premise. The procedural format can be hit and miss at this level of ambition, but The Power handles it with more confidence than most. The 110 viewer ratings on TMDB are not an accident — shows that sustain that level of engagement across their run have earned it. A single, focused run means there is no filler — every episode carries weight. Get it started on Amazon Prime Video and see why so many viewers already have strong opinions about it.

Originally commissioned by Prime Video, The Power quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. The world of The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. Following remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, the Power evolves from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of power balance. It aired in 2023. What distinguishes the best crime dramas from the rest is whether the character work can carry episodes where the mystery takes a breath — The Power passes that test consistently. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Perfect for viewers who think they have already seen all the great crime dramas. The Power is the one that tends to prove them wrong. The writing earns its twists rather than manufacturing them, and the result is a show where the resolution feels inevitable rather than arbitrary. Fans of The Tomorrow People will recognise the tonal balance between tension and character work. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. If you are going to commit to one procedural this month, make it this one.
