This is the first time I've heard of this, so clearly I never read the book. However I like this so much! So far, there is a logical progression to the story and if you understand energy or have been exposed to Traditional Chinese Medicine and the electrical energy that can be accessed using meridians, it makes perfectly good sense. Tai Chi, Qigong, EFT are all based on accessing the energetic lines of the body. There are corresponding meridian points below the collar bone that makes the development of an "energy organ" plausible. So it is not as far fetched as it might seem.
The writing and direction are superb, and the editing makes it move at a fast enough pace to keep us engaged. That is a pleasure.
The stories from different parts of the world and points of view holds your interest and keeps the story moving. The way the women react thus far, might be reasonable in the beginning of an epidemic, but women are most often plan and task driven, and might not take long to come up with some sort of big picture plan, and thus far, they seem to be making up their responses as they go along. Some anyway, and I'm not sure that would go on very long. It does seem to be developing however, so we shall see.
The best part of the series is that it is an indication of how fed up women are with being powerless, and the stories that are coming out of that long lasting and constant frustration with being marginalized and abused so thoroughly for centuries, are strong warnings. If for no other reason, it is important work with an important message that I for one, am delighted is coming to the forefront. Women will not take constant oppression anymore without reacting in some form, artistically first, politically which is ongoing, and ultimately physically, which this is an indication of same.
I hope it keeps going as well as it is starting. Well done.
