The Nevers is an American science-fiction drama television series that aired on HBO from 2021 to 2023. It is set in Victorian London and explores the lives of people who suddenly gain supernatural abilities. The series is created by Joss Whedon, who is known for his work on other popular television shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly.

The series follows a group of women who are known as the Touched. They have gained unique abilities after a mysterious event that occurred known as the "Turn." The Touched are mainly women, but a few men have also gained their powers inexplicably. They range from telekinesis and precognition to time manipulation, flight, and super-strength. Though hailed as heroes and demi-gods by some, they are feared and misunderstood by many, and find themselves fighting for survival amid the societal upheaval that their arrival brings.

The main character, Amalia True (played by Laura Donnelly), is a Touched woman who runs an orphanage for the Touched. She is a fierce fighter and uses her abilities to fight for justice and help others. She is also haunted by a tragic past and a mysterious opponent who seems to have her own agenda.

In addition to Amalia, there are many other Touched characters in the show, including Penance Adair (played by Ann Skelly), who helps Amalia run the orphanage and has the power to see electrical currents and invents devices that help the Touched. There is also Lavinia Bidlow (played by Olivia Williams), a wealthy widow who supports the Touched in their plight.

The show also explores the impact of the Touched on society at large, including how they are viewed by the ruling class and how the Touched view themselves. The powers that the Touched possess are both a blessing and a curse, as they struggle to find a place in a world that is not ready for them.

The Nevers is a visually stunning show with intricate costumes and elaborate sets that transport the viewer to Victorian London. The special effects used to create the various powers of the Touched are also impressive and add depth to the show. The series also delves into themes such as power, gender, and societal upheaval in a gripping and thought-provoking way.

Overall, The Nevers is an engaging and entertaining show that is sure to captivate science-fiction fans. With a strong cast and gripping storylines, the series is a must-watch for anyone who enjoys stories that explore the human condition in a supernatural setting. The show manages to balance action, drama, and comedy in a way that keeps viewers engaged and invested in the characters' journey.
