Ragazze elettriche

First I'll start by saying I didn't know this was a book. Didn't even know it was a thought until this show. For everyone saying it's boring... this is happening to women all over the world, all walks of life and from wealthy to poor to homeless. That being said fleshing out the characters, and giving backstory is very much needed! I for one was very happy to have origin stories, had it just happened with no what, when, why and how I'd have been confused. By the end of episode 4, I was thoroughly hooked! The imagery coming out of Saudi Arabia was extremely powerful, literally and figuratively. I have no doubt there will be some terrible paths taken and terrible things to happen to some of these women, and the people in their path. And I'll be here for it! I'm happy to see something new, completely original! This is not superhero stuff, this is evolution and maybe even survival for some. I'm excited to see where it goes and will update my review at the end if needed.

The show is brilliant. I was shocked how low the rating is overall here. The acting is really great, it's well written and filmed, and plays almost like a documentary in its realism. The allegory that the show is telling is super important I believe. I feel it's one of the best shows I've seen in a long time. It's entertaining but also meaningful.

I definitely recommend it. Perhaps see for yourself and check it out if you like stories that have something important to say about the world. I feel uplifted and inspired watching this series.

I have seen the four episodes currently available, and I am very much looking forward to watching how it plays out.

A super-powered series that doesn't use a superhero storytelling approach. It's not an action fight with special powers. It is a guideline for good and bad consequences, catastrophes, revolutions, the end and the beginning of human history. That creates the new normal like the outbreak of COVID-19 by using the big story scale Emphasis on multi-level political governance with many different characters around the world. That have their own separate stories that are different But the story will have a big problem, namely the first 2 episodes focusing on the beginning story that almost does not see much electricity until it does not look fun. To the point of boring and telling a lot of characters at the same time Together from the beginning, it made me confused with the direction of the story, but at the end of the second episode, the story will turn the story into a big mask that makes the story come back to be fun and interesting with the impact of the power that occurs in different stories. Which if the series can maintain this level It's likely to be another good Prime series as it's been a beseller and award-winning novel before.

I am only about 1/2 way through but so far this is an excellent show. One of the best aspects I think is that it has several main characters and shows, somewhat believably, what would happen if they all developed new powers. I enjoyed the world building of each very different character and the "what would happen if" of it all. We see the story mostly via the mayor of Seattle who is dealing with overwelmed first responders and EMTs only to be told my the governor to "not get her panties in a wad" in response to this major change in the world. She is told by authorities to keep it quiet but she decides instead to blow the whistle and tell everyone what is happening.

This is one of my favorite books, and I generally have very low expectations of any adaptation, so I went in to this with that mentality. It isn't perfect, but it feels like it's coming from the same place as the book, with the same themes driving the plot and characters (who are very well cast).

The source material covers a lot of ground, literally and figuratively. I've only seen four episodes, but I have been pleasantly surprised at the world and character building. I'm a little more concerned about how they will handle later events, as the story continues and women take power over the new world.

All in all, it's better than I expected and I'm excited to watch the rest.
