Most Anticipated
The Power (Season 1)
The premise for this new series sounds amazing, with a top notch headlining cast to boot. Suddenly, and without warning or understanding, all teenage girls in the world develop the power to electrocute at will. They can cause surges, power machines, or even electrocute people at will. It's hereditary, inbuilt, and medically unexplainable. Obviously, it causes radical changes in the world and sociopolitical dynamic, and things only get more outrageous when it's discovered that they can imbue the power into older women as well. Talk about an incredibly powerful story!
This is definitely my kind of science fiction. I love aliens and spaceships as much as the next guy, but the best sci-fi stories are those where it's a world just like ours...until something incredible happens. Featuring the always incredible Toni Collette, along with John Leguizamo, The Power looks like it'll tackle some very serious issues in our world, with a sci-fi twist! This story could definitely go in any number of directions, and I love the vibe that the trailer gives of a legion of young women rising up against a world that often times seems to want to keep them in check. I can't wait for this. Be sure to check it out when all 9 episodes of season one drop on March 31!
Currently Watching
The Consultant (Season 1)
So far this is definitely one of the highlights of the year for streaming content. When I first heard the premise for The Consultant there's no doubt that I was looking forward to it, and now that I'm a few episodes in...they hype is warranted. Christoph Waltz is incredibly great in this role, and if you're a fan of tense shows like Breaking Bad or the similarly themed show Severance, then this is the new one for you. Waltz is Regus Patoff, a newly hired consultant hired to improve the business at an app-based gaming company. When he arrives, it's clear that things will never be the same for the staff.
Even the trailer is intense, and I cannot wait to see what happens as I work through the season. All eight episodes of this new Prime Video series are on Prime Video right now, and I can't recommend it enough. Check it out!
