The Nevers
A touch of power can change the world.
Created by Joss Whedon
On HBO
A visually ornate Victorian-era ensemble drama about marginalized women with superpowers fighting systemic oppression, cut short before its narrative could fully resolve.
In the last years of Victoria's reign, London is beset by the "Touched": people — mostly women — who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities, some charming, some very disturbing. Among them are Amalia True, a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair, a brilliant young inventor. They are the champions of this new underclass, making a home for the Touched, while fighting the forces of… well, pretty much all the forces — to make room for those whom history as we know it has no place.
