Tosin Cole has already been part of two of the best-known sci-fi franchises around.
Sure, the American-born British actor admits his turn as starfighter pilot Lieutenant Bastian in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was perhaps a little “blink-and-you’ll miss it” (although it could have been a lot more — he got down to the final few auditioning for John Boyega’s role of Finn but “it just didn’t work out” and J.J. Abrams offered him this part instead). But in BBC cult series “Doctor Who,” however, across seasons 11 and 12, he played the main character of Ryan Sinclair, companion to Jodie Whittaker’s Time Lord. It all gives him some solid bragging rights.
“You know, I can tell my grandkids, ‘Your granddaddy was in this show!,’” he exclaims.
But now there’s another sci-fi that he hopes could also become something to tell the grandchildren about in years to come.

As far as the three young women sitting in row E at London’s Bush Theatre were concerned, the name of the character Tosin Cole was playing in Benedict Lombe’s “spicy” love story Shifters, wasn’t Dre — short for Dream — but “Dreamboat.”
It’s a double whammy of love, well, sort of, for Cole, who also stars in Rapman’s game-changing Netflix drama Supacell, playing a love-struck south London courier who discovers he has developed superpowers.
Adelayo Adedayo and Tosin Cole in ‘Supacell’
Back at the Bush, one of the women leant forward and cried, ”Bring Dreamboat over ‘ere to me now!”
Those ladies swooning over him when I saw the play in late March added a surreal layer to Lombe’s two-hander about Dre and Des — for Destiny — played by Heather Agyepong, former lovers who meet again, after an eight-year gap,...

At first glance, The Power may seem like a superhero story crossed with The Handmaid’s Tale, but it is so much more than that. Based on the novel by Naomi Alderman, The Power is an epic story about not just women who are imbued with a mysterious new ability but also how the structure of control and hierarchy of our world shifts because of this change.
The Power posits what it would be like if teenage girls across the globe suddenly manifested the ability to harness electricity through their bodies. Some fear the power, while others embrace what it means for those subjugated because of their gender. In a global tale set in various countries, The Power shows us how fear changes the perspective of men, women, and those who identify with a different sex. Sometimes funny, often dramatic, and always shocking, The Power is a commentary on our...

The Power is a new fantasy Prime Video series starring Halle Bush, Ria Zmitrowicz, Auli’i Cravalho, Toni Collette and John Leguizamo.
It is based on the novel written by Naomi Alderman.
The Power (2023-)
An “electrifying” series for more than one reason, and that is that these girls have the ability to electrify people at will. Quite the ability and one that serves as a reflection on gender and the abuse of power in this series that premieres on Prime Video on March 31.
Enjoy it.
Storyline
The world of The Power is our world, but with quite the 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.

Plot: The Power is our world, but for one twist of nature. Suddenly, and without warning, teenage girls develop the power to electrocute people at will. The series features a cast of remarkable characters from London to Seattle, Nigeria to Eastern Europe, as the Power evolves from a tingle in teenagers’ collarbones to a complete reversal of the power balance of the world.
Review: The Power is a series I fully expect will rankle a vocal minority online who will complain about this being a series that castrates masculinity and promotes extreme points of view. Those people clearly need to watch this series for that very reason. The Power is a cautionary tale that has a global scale. Looking at the impact of a shift in the male-female dynamic offers a unique look at how we treat gender as a society and how it differs across the planet. Abiding by...

Tim Robbins has been tapped to replace Rainn Wilson in Amazon’s forthcoming “The Power” series after the “Office” alum had to step back from the project after production delays caused by the pandemic.
Robbins will play “the self-righteous and self-important Governor of Washington” and a “constant thorn” in the side of Leslie Mann’s character, the mayor of Seattle.
The 10-episode series is an adaptation of the novel by Naomi Alderman, taking place in a world where all teenage girls suddenly and inexplicably develop the power to electrocute people at will.
Per Amazon, “It’s hereditary, it’s inbuilt, and it can’t be taken away from them. Coming alive to the thrill of pure power: the ability to hurt or even kill by releasing electrical jolts from their fingertips, they rapidly learn they can awaken the Power in older women.
