This adaptation of a brilliant novel – about women who can create electricity – sticks to the original like glue. As a TV show, it doesn’t work quite as well
is an absolute banger. If you haven’t read it, do. It’s a great piece of counterfactual sci-fi teeming with characters and questions, and as full of ideas as action as it asks: “What would happen if women ruled the world?”
We follow a global array of characters. In the US we meet Allie , who kills her rapist foster father and then, guided by an internal voice, embarks on a spiritual quest during which she is given sanctuary with a group of rebel nuns, from where she gathers the ambition to remake religion.
Tatiana is the wife of a brutal eastern European dictator who soon looks to harness not just her own power but that of the other women, as the spread of the ability starts to transform her nation.

The Voice’s ‘enormous scope and power’ must be assessedThe Indigenous Voice to Parliament is a “substantial” constitutional change and the “enormous scope and power” it holds must be assessed, says The Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly. “My concern about the Voice is that the Prime Minister is going to try and pass this on the vibe,” Mr Kelly told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “What I’ve argued is this is creating a new institution and putting this new institution into the constitution with an entirely new chapter of the constitution,' he said. “I mean this is in substantial and symbolic terms an enormous step – and so then one’s got to look at the institution, one’s got to look at the Voice, what are its powers, what impact will it have. “In terms of representation, it can offer advice on virtually anything – so that scope is open-ended and virtually unlimited, and secondly of course it can give advice to the Parliament and the executive government. “Now when you put these two things together, I argue this is going to be a very substantial change to a system of government and it’s got to be assessed on merit.”
