Overview

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.

Hollywood Reporter

The Nevers is a show in desperate need of focus, and as episodes progress, more and more characters are added and the connection to the richest thematic throughline becomes increasingly tenuous.

Variety

It’s a world rich with compelling characters, narrative possibilities and actors up to the task of making their parts sing. Donnelly and Skelly are especially good as the show’s central odd couple, their friendship anchoring 'Nevers' as its mysteries unfurl and the stakes get impossibly high.

Los Angeles Times

'The Nevers' ably continues HBO's tradition of making fantasy and sci-fi a prestigious television pursuit, blending supernatural realism, complex storytelling, and topical realities.

TVLine

With a Buffy’s-been-there, done-that feel, The Nevers is a rehash of familiar tropes from a now-controversial creator.

IMDb

Ye gads, the critics really came down on this series because of Joss Whedon's involvement. But give it a chance. It's got an interesting storyline, steampunk influences, and a really great cast.
