Actress Toni Collette said how the series is unnervingly timely, even more so today than the book was in 2016.

“You know, it’s sci-fi, and it’s one step removed but it’s kind of grounded in something very recognisable.
“I think people can look at it objectively, and have it creep up on them that these things are not right.
“They need amending, exploring, and adjusting, and it is a time of transition, and we can see ourselves in it. It couldn’t be better timing.”
Her character takes charge of the uprising as a politician who shuns guidance from her advisers so she can speak up for all women.
The Power airs on Amazon Prime Video from March 31.
